My problem is that the format is basically an exercise in random button-pushing, with no play-along value and hardly any skill. (Except for Mr. Larson, of course.) But PYL has always enjoyed a loyal fan base who are happy happy joy joy about ABC's reboot of the show this summer.
Rummaging around the game show Interwebs, I've seen sometimes varying accounts of what went down at the reboot's tapings. We do know that Elizabeth Banks hosted, as a faux tweet noted with a picture from her website.
The exact gameplay details are a little sketchy, though. It looks that the reboot features a front game which is more or less the same button-pushing exercise that we saw in the 1980s. But then there's a bonus round with the winner of the front game playing against the house in a series of, well, random button pushes.
Who knows how it will all settle out onscreen beginning June12? I'll try to review the show as fairly as I can, despite my indifference to the basic format.
