Anybody else watching the new "I've got a secret"

If you can get past the all or mostly gay panel, It's a fun show.

Rip Taylor had a secret on last nights show. We was a US senate page when he was in his twenties. He claimed to have matured from his confetti throwing days, but then from under the moderator's desk came the big bag of the stuff which covered half the stage before he was done.

On the same show they had Jack Nicholson's high school girlfriend.

There was also a hot young thing who could and did sing with her mouth closed...... I thought that was called ventriloquism.

I watched it several times. It would be nice to be able to get past the panel and see the stories they have to share, but the panel is there all the time and I just couldn't take them anymore. No more "I've Got a Secret" for me.

You mean you can't get past the fact that the panelists are gay, or you can't get past the fact that certain members of the panel are sometimes too busy hamming it up and whatnot to actually play the game?

Me, I can't get past the fact that GSN isn't providing guide data to TiVo/Tribune...makes it too annoying to record.

It's not that they're gay or not gay or whatever. I just find them annoying and not interesting in any way. It seems they feel they are the show and I don't see it that way.

My interest was piqued when the show first started. I enjoyed the reruns of the old show. Yes, it was a different time and things then were much more understated in general, but there needs to be a mix of interesting guests, a "celebrity" panel and a panel that "works" within the framework of the show.

There were some interesting guests (I never knew that Adam West had a crown with the bat emblem on it). I had never heard of any of the panelists before, and after watching a few episodes I could see why. And four, I don't know, "G" list celebrities (several steps below even "D" list) making the show all about them just didn't do it for me.
