Do you all think that NBC and CBS were right for cancelling Twenty-One and Winning Lines. I think that they would have done good in there time slots especially Winning Lines being on Saturday Nights and Twenty-One comming on 3 days a week

I never saw 21, but Winning Lines was just weird. It's like some guy woke up and in a desperate attempt to come up with a game idea, said "How about a game show about numbers?" and that's what he came up with. Everyone but ABC was just SO desperate to top Millionaire that what they came up with wasn't real thought out. FOX did the best with Greed.

Winning Lines was awesome! Well The truth is, is that it sucked but the Wonder Wall at the end was cool.

Okay, wasn't 21 hosted by Maury Povich and Winning Lines hosted by Dick Clark?

They were smart in cancelling Lines, but, As for 21, That shoulda stayed

I thought both shows were confusing, but, of the 2 Winning Lines was the best, because of course, the Wonder Wall, but, I thought the beginning was interesting, with that wall with about 40 people sitting. I thought 21 was just plain BORING and even to this day, I STILL dont completely understand the rules! But, Greed was awesome, and I still think it was better than Millionaire, that was a stupid move by Fox to cancel that show. O, by the way, tommorrow, (Jan 19th) GREED is coming to GAME SHOW NETWORK!! YEAH!
