Favorite Tv Show

[KaciBlakely]

Here is the best (and only) way to watch Cash Cab (one of my favorite shows):

What you'll need:
1. Money (Ones work best)
2. At least two people
3. A Dvr (So you can pause the show)
4. Someone who has good "remote ability" to pause the show at precisely the right time.
5. Paper & Pen (or pencil if you're living in the 1970's - if this is the case at least make sure it's a #2)

How to watch/play Cash Cab:
1. Gather the players in front of the TV (but far enough apart so they can't see each others paper).
2. Have each player put $1 in the pot (more if you're a high roller) to start the game.
3. After he reads the first question, pause the show before any of the "real" contestants are able to give an answer.
4. Have each person write down what they think is the correct answer.
5. Start the show again and get the correct answer from the driver.
6. If everyone playing got the question wrong, add $1 each to the pot and continue on to the next question.
7. If they all got it right, add $1 each to the pot and continue on to the next question.
8. If one player got it wrong and one player got it right (in a 2-player game) the winner takes the pot. Everyone then adds $1 to create a new pot and continue the game.
9. If more than one person got it right and at least one person got it wrong, the winners split the pot (this is for a 3+ player game). Everyone then adds $1 to the pot and continues the game.

Red Light Challenge:
This is a separate pot from the main game. Anytime a "Red Light Challenge" comes up, pause the show, add $2/player to a new pot (not part of the main game's pot), listen to the question, and then pause it and have everyone write down their answers. In order for a player to win this pot, they must get the same number of answers correct that the "real" contestants are required to (usually 4 out of 5 or 6 out of .

A friend and I created this game a while back - It's the best game ever!!!

I have honestly never even heard of this show before.

Is it a game show?

I assume it is because of that huge comment.

But I don't exactly understand it because I don't watch the show I guess.

Is this show available on instant watch on Netflix?

Ok I do nothing but watch TV and never heard of this show and I have DIRECTV which has like 350 channels. But I will look to see if I can find it the show sounds like fun to watch. And as for the poll I watch three of the shows. If you want to know what they are you can check the poll to see the answers.

I'm glad someone on this forum chose supernatural with me. It's a great show although I'm sad next season will be it's last. And if I ruined that for you I'm sorry Dallas but we've known since season 2 or 3.

Cash Cab, hosted by Ben Bailey and on the Discovery Channel, is a TV game show that occurs in the taxi van driven by Bailey.

How it works is the contestants are given trivia questions throughout the cab ride to earn money (in lieu of paying a cab fare) all the way to their destination. Along the way, the questions get harder, but as they do you can earn more money per question (they usually go $25, $50, $100, and if there's time $200 a piece).

The catch is, if you get three questions wrong (strikes), then Ben has to pull over and kick you out wherever you are, and you lose all your money. To help you out, you can either do one mobile "shout-out" where you can call a friend for the answer, or you can do a street shout-out where he'll pull over and you can try to ask bystanders if anyone knows the answer to the question.

Also, if you have at least $250 and you get stuck at a red light, that will trigger a "Red Light Challenge" where the host will ask you a question with multiple answers, and you must get all parts of the question right in order to win the money. If you do, it's worth an extra $250 to you. If you get it wrong you won't get a strike for it or anything, it just won't earn you extra money.

At the end of your ride, Ben offers you a choice. You can take the money you've earned and walk away, or you can risk everything and go "double or nothing" on a Video Bonus question. How that works is he'll show you a video clip and then ask you one question about that clip. If you get it right, he'll double your winnings, but if you get it wrong, you lose all your money and all you walk away with is a free cab ride (which is still not bad for New York!)

It's one of klinkman and my favorite game shows, and it's really fun to compete with each other on the answers, especially since we seem to share a brain much of the time.
