Premise: Watch A&E's Intervention. Anytime the subject uses the addiction of choice, take a drink. Bonus drinks for passing out, falling down, or crying. If the subject gets arrested or ends up in the hospital, finish your drink.Result: Watching the subject passing out, falling down, and/or crying is not really conducive for getting drunk. It's actually pretty depressing. It's kind of like when you watch the 400-pound women on Oprah and you take a look at the donut you were enjoying and you put it down and go in the bathroom and immediately throw up. Kind of exactly like that.
Verdict: FAILED
* Yes, I realize this was a wholly insensitive idea—to turn other peoples' problems into my own enjoyment—but isn't that the inherent nature of the show? Besides, it was a pretty slow Friday night.

I'm not sure why A & E is showing this show (redundancy sic).
It doesn't sound like art, and it sure don't sound entertaining. Now "Rock of Love" (aka The Cougar Show), now that's entertainment. Drinking Game off the top of my head:
Drink whenever--someone on the show drinks, you get a look at Lacy's crazy eye, the word "stripper" is uttered, and for the finale, each time Bret mentions his diabeetus (which yes, he does say like he's Wilfred Brimley's son.)
That would be a good drinking game! Too bad the show is over.
For those of us that are still getting their television through the bunny ears and their alcohol consumption by the thirty pack, we suggest turning any of the fine programs on PBS into drinking games. Guess the price of the antique on Antiques Roadshow. Go over or under by $1000 and you drink. Go over or under $10000 and you do a shot. If the person who brought the antique in talks about a dead relative, drink a whole beer.
I have yet to make it through an episode and my liver is harder than an unopened can of Alpo. I don't even want to tell you the rules to the Sesame Street drinking game.
Ah, you gave it a shot.
*groan*
I tried playing one where we drank every time someone said, "the"
That one's tough to keep up with!
to portly gent - I feel for ya! The PBS fund raising begging things are great for that too. Whenever they give you an earnest plea, take a drink. whenever they utter "your contribution" utter. Whenever they show you a tote bag, that's a shot. And whenever there's some guy in a tux, gotta' finish the drink. Same with the Jerry Lewis telethon.
You done your Antiques Roadshow game on the Price is Right? And fuck those people who say ten is too early to be drunk. they're assholes.
