A New Interest

Well, with the recent debut of Sale of the Century on GSN, I have to say, I should've gotten into this years ago. During the last week I've been watching episodes of Sale from 1985-1989. I've actually seen a Sally Julian episode, and was disgusted by that. The Menning episodes are OK too.

This show makes me appreciate Jim Perry as a host even more. He's good, reads questions well, and shows his humor.

And the show actually has an interesting format as well. Some of the Instant Bargains are hilarious, and everyone seems to work well. Yeah the prizes look like crap today, but a lot of shows do, and I watch for the gameplay anyway, so what do I care? So, after Having seen a few episodes, the winner's board is my favorite end game. The last one was too hard, and the first one was OK.

I'm now into it, and am grateful GSN picked it up. I hope it does well for the network, because I'd like to see more than the final 65. Jim and Summer are a great team. Of course my favorite Jim Perry work is still Card Sharks but this is a very close second.
