As the polls show McCain gaining ground and a tonight's TV listings allude to my beloved Red Sox golfing, I think I'll turn my ire towards Wheel of Fortune.
Whatever happened to the showcases in which contestants were forced to spend their winnings on unfortunate patio sets and trips to Orlando? There was nothing better than watching the color drain out of a winner's face upon realizing he/she had to spend his/her remaining 800 bucks on a lime green barcalounger.

The BumperSmash Charter
As many of you by now know, BumperSmash is (and will forever remain) the appellation and future home of the most delectable lunchtime treat in the rich history of starch-based foodstuffs.
Don't let the eponymous nature of this blog fool you; I fully intend to pursue the financial windfall that will supervene the grand opening and subsequent franchizing of my brainchild. Until said time, however, I've decided it wise to lend its name to my new blog as a shrewd attempt to lay claim to the BumperSmash empire.
While blogging can not provide the toothsome, even curative smashed potatoes that future generations will come to associate with BumperSmash, I fully intend to offer many challenging observations and Circean tales of daring heroism in their stead.
Most will involve dong jokes.
Yours Indubitably,
Nathan Gallant

totally agree. once in a while ing pushes for the new "power hour" of jeopardy and wheel. noticed last week that they gave out nice trips and folks had a chance at $1 million.
i liked the old way, in part because you could only imagine what was going through the contestant's head if he chose the barcalounger instead of the mini fridge. you think he actually came to terms with the barcalounger or didn't have space for the fridge in his basement? riveting stuff.

ahem. computers don't like me and i'm strangely disturbed by the new commenting system. sorry for the double whammy.
now you got me thinking of Press Your Luck.
years ago i read that bill murray was going to star in a movie about the guy that busted out that show; he memorized the pattern of the big board and never whammied.
something for me to research tonight.
put on some clothes, doug.
I do sometimes make Doug watch the new "power hour" and not one episode of wheel has gone by without me asking Doug what happened to the system in which the contestants used to shop for schtuff.
I liked it much better.
