Critique of "Win Tuition!" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Guys,

I really think that GSN's new show "Win Tuition" is a very cool program! The questions are harder in some of the earlier grades than one might expect! Like Millionaire, the questions do get hard rather quickly. (It's amazing how much material is out there that we DON'T KNOW....or have forgotten!)

But....that clown "George" who brings out the spelling bee cards or other props used for questions has ABSOLUTELY NO REDEEMING VALUE TO THE SHOW. You have a fine format in "Win Tuition" similar to Jepardy and Win Ben Stein's Money, but to have this geek come out is a stupid novelty! It's like the producers said...."Hey, we got a format that works...but oh! We have to appeal to the wrestling crowd on an entertainment value, so let's have this strange character come out who has no reason to be on the show...."That is an issue that really hurts the overall quality of an otherwise fine show. Can anyone see a positive reason for why that charactor is neccessary on the show? Marc Summers could have any cards or props needed for questions by or on a podium. My overall grade is a B+ Get rid of "George" and you'll have a solid "A."

Yeah, George is kinda strange.

Did you know that Henry Winkler is the producer (or is he executive producer? I don't know for sure) of Win Tuition? Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm remembering an article I read in today's paper about the show.
