"Season Premiere"

Greenville, AL is the first stop on this wacky window on America! In this variety/comedy hybrid, a different town is featured each week. During the show, a lucky handful of audience members - all from the same town - will participate in individualized comedic games and gags for prizes tailored to their own lives, interests and needs.

One person from the group is chosen to play the big end game, where they will shoulder the burden of either winning or losing a huge prize for the other audience members - all of whom they will see every day for the rest of their lives. No pressure!

This show is not worth my hour of time I have put into watching it.

It was just awful in my opinion. Didn't watch it all, couldn't stand it.

I tried to watch it because it was on right after Extreme Makeover. But I found that I kept walking out of the room and not really caring if I missed anything or not. So I finally turned it off.

Stupid show. Hated the host. Why is a Brit hosting a small town America show anyway? He was not funny or entertaining at all. I could only watch half of it before changing the channel.

I caught bits and pieces. It was awful and the Grand Prize for the town was new scooters? Boring.

I don't know, I thought it was kind of funny. Lame in parts but just good fun for the most part.

I have to agree with Twinkie. Why would you have a Brit host a show about America's small towns?
I also agree the prizes weren't much - especially after the excessiveness on Extreme Home Makeover.
This felt like a local production - not something from a major network.

I thought it was very funny, Terolyn. I liked that it didn't take itself seriously at all. It was all tongue-in-cheek.

I never expected this to be like Extreme Makeover, because this is a totally different genre. It's a game show. These weren't people with heart-breaking stories that desperately needed some charitable help. They're just people who all live in the same town and agreed to be part of a comedic game show. What prize should they give 200 people at a time? New cars? If they want to do this every week that would get really expensive really fast.

I don't know what I laughed at more: the sight of that man snoozing in front of his TV while his house was being driven down the highway, or his wife's reaction when she saw that.
