Vs. is a killer show (well, we knew that...) Wednesday, 14-Jul-1999 01:46:16 153.37.7.225 writes: In Entertainment Weekly's new issue with Bruce Springsteen on the cover, there's an article (also mentioned on the cover) about 20 "killer shows" that are suggested viewing while everything else is in reruns. Page 37, under the heading of "Battle Acts" is ... (insert extraneous drum roll) ... "Vs"! And here is the blurb/review: ***** COMEDY CENTRAL'S VS. Here's what we've learned so far: Dykes on Bikes are better than Hooters girls. Community college students are smarter than Harvard grads. And basketball players make jockeys look like mental midgets. Come on down to this amusingly mean-spirited Comedy Central game show - a high-concept Family Feud. Rival factions tackle trivia questions that range from generic to hilariously culture-specific (e.g., dominatrices puzzled over defining bastinado, the technical term for foot punishment). "We give them a chance to show whether they conform to their stereotypes," says host Greg Proops, a wiseacre in horn-rimmed glasses. "A few play so true to form, you think you're going to have a heart attack." (Case in point: the Polish team getting trounced by Mensa members.) This being Comedy Central, the show is also stuffed with groan-worthy double-entendres; a music category, for instance, was called "When She Greased Down My Chassis, My Axl Rose." Sure beats the crap out of Potent Potables. (copyright 1999, by A.J. Jacobs) ***** There's also a small picture of Greg reading a question to a contestant, with the caption "Vs. is a trivial pursuit for comic Proops." (BTW, thanks to Jeff for pointing the blurb out to me. I hadn't read that far into the magazine yet. ;-) ) Jules ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Message thread: Jules: Vs. is a killer show (well, we knew that...)
