Will no one call out Jeopardy for the unwatchable creep show it has become?
The new set looks the waiting room for a mall dental clinic.
Mayim Bialik hosts in a charmless monotone, cloaked in weird jumpers and tweed mumus, outfits plucked from an SNL Target Lady sketch.
But worst of all is Matt Amodio, the frightening cyborg who's earning millions by killing the other contestants. Night after night, he's The Heel.
Sporting the jerky, giggly mannerisms familiar from a thousand Netflix serial killer dramas, Matt knows endless names by rote yet cannot make easy eye contact with rivals, Bialik or our alternate universe.
We doctors have a word for the that.
What once was an easy half hour game show has become a killing field, as enjoyable as watching puppies killed with a stun gun. No mercy here. All must die.
Sweet-faced school teachers. Accountants. Elderly librarians. They all dead.
Matt claims to be a PHd student. At graduation, he will be Dr. Evil.
His aggressive play is robotic, mean-spirited and unwatchable. The studio audience rarely claps. We are all embarrassed witnesses.
Nobody is gonna watch another week of this.
TV's cheery quiz has gone to the dark side, jumped the shark. It hurts to watch.
Somewhere, Alec Trebek is screaming.
Make it stop.
