Friend or Foe - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

lukes42 · 06-04-2002, 02:51 PM

Two new Originals aired last night for the first time on Game Show Network. The first one, which aired at 10:30 PM eastern time was Friend or Foe with host Kennedy. So, what are your overall thoughts about this new show?

Overall, I thought it was a cool show. The set was awesome, especially the team booths, and Kennedy did a job as host. She was very knowledgable, and knew what she was doing. The one thing I questioned about this show is the Truth Box, and its existance in the final bonus game. Other than that, I think this show has the potential to go far.

When you say Truth Box I think you must be referring to the TRUST Box. I must say that I really do not like this show at all, and I can see that the producers must be really happy when both contestants vote foe, as they don't have to dish out any money at all. Furthermore, Kennedy, no doubt backed up by the producers, continually encourages the contestants to choose foe by reminding them of the other's weak point.

This is one show that I really don't like because it does nothing to instill positive values and I hate to see people hurt. On one particular ep, a contestant chose friend and the other chose foe and the one who chose friend cried. I will stick with Russian Roulette and Whammy for the new GSN originals, and my favorite is definitely Russian Roulette.

That is so true! This game is way too mean for my tastes.

I don't really like the show either. I have never seen a team where both people picked friend and split the money! The contestants on that show are mean!

There have been a few occasions where both people have picked friend, but unfortunately it is a rare event....which is why I don't like the show and whenever I do watch it I have a box of Kleenex handy.
