Watch Your Step

Well, over the years GSN has made many originals. My favorite, Russian Roulette. This was a good quiz show hosted by Mark L. Walberg. This show was very fun. What made it great though, the people falling through the trap door. That's probably what got me hooked to the show back in the day (2003ish) was the people falling through. I always laughed and cheered whenever someone would fall into the trap door, after being randomly selected by the drop zones. Not to mention Mark was a good host who was always great with the contestants. The set was awesome (yeah, a dark 21st century set pulled off right), and the music and sound effects were cool too. And on April Fools Day 2003, Todd Newton host of Whammy! on GSN hosted an episode. He did good. Unfortunately when GSN decided to try something other than game shows, this show got the boot for new episodes, and eventually reruns. In 2008, GSN gave the show another slot, but it bombed. Very sad, but hey I got a few episodes on tape so it's not a total loss. And yes, it beat Who's Still Standing. Yes, this was my favorite GSN original. Yeah, it beats Lingo.
