Alexander's horse

Readers of this blog - and anybody else who ran across my top 50 list - know of my high regard for Cash Cab. In fact, the failure of Game Show Forum to include the show in their top 50 is enough, on its own, to disqualify that board as a serious judge of game show quality. So there's lots of good news lately, including the Cash Cab Thanksgiving weekend marathon on GSN and the long awaited return of new eps to Discovery on December 4.

Ben Bailey is making the media rounds to plug the reboot. "I was excited when they first announced it...One game into filming I was like, 'did we ever stop?'" Ben's showing a little discretion here. When Discovery first announced the reboot, he complained loudly that he was left out of their plans. Give the network credit, they quickly corrected the mistake and hired the only cabbie you need for the one cab that pays you money.

The showrunners will tart up the new series with celeb guests, which purists (like me) will grump about. But what the hey, the cab rolls again. That's enough to keep us diehards happy. And by the way, Ben, I happen to know the name of Alexander the Great's horse. Yes, I need help.
