Our family was watching French Kiss—typical fare, since my dad loved Meg Ryan and both of my parents liked romantic comedies—and when the scene came on where Meg Ryan's character, Kate, describes the unsatisfactory night she lost her virginity in her boyfriend's basement during Jeopardy, my dad turned to me and said, "If you ever do that, I'll kill you."

Even though you have to buy an "o" on the show? Yeah, sure.

Quoted! (http://community.livejournal.com/metaquotes/5792205.html) And I used your point about the purchasing of O's in the context link. XD But, I'd like to point out, a lot of people do say "Gimme an O!" on the show. "I'd like to buy a vowel." "Okay." "Gimme an O!" (I really hate Wheel. My parents are addicted. Woe is me.)

XDDD Actually, it's a childhood hatred. I didn't like it because it was too easy and all based on luck. It bored me. I wanted to have to know something.

I'm a total game show geek, though. I keep my TV on all the time just for background noise, even when I'm not actually in the room. I'd be embarrassed to admit how many hours a day it's tuned in to the Game Show Network.

Something tells me all it would take would be a polite inquiry into how many hours a day you spend watching GSN. Let's see if that's true.

Wheel of Fortune was easy and luck-based, but (so?) my mom and I used to play at who could guess the puzzle first, sometimes with no letters at all. Made sense, since she was the one who taught me how to play Scrabble. (As in, word games.) Hangman too; that's closer to Wheel of Fortune.

hahaha Ya got me. I'll admit to any of my geekery if asked. The TV flips to GSN at 9 AM when the paid programming ends and stays there until 6:30 PM. At which point I watch an episode of MASH and then Dr. Phil on the west coast channel. (stfu, some of those people are NUTS and I just can't look away.) And then there's usually an hour of Match Game at 11-midnight that I listen to while I'm roleplaying. So all in all, GSN is usually on for more than ten hours a day. How much of it I'm actually watching depends entirely on the day.

*g* I knew it. I didn't know you watched so many game shows. I guess I figured you had fandom-type series on all day.

Iiiiiit's Match Game PM! We went through a Match Game-watching phase when the Game Show Network got added to the basic cable package and they used to show it in marathons. Charles Nelson Reilly = love.

Admitting to more geekery: sometimes I do have days when I want to spend all day on fandom-type shows. But I don't have the heart to turn off GSN so I mute the TV and pop a DVD in the laptop. XD It's easier than climbing around to get to my DVD player, anyway. (I really ought to take pictures of my room, to show how all the book piles block the path to the TV. I have to balance and lean to get to it.)

Charles and Brett CRACK ME UP. They're out of their freakin' minds.
