Cash Cab is fun family viewing. Some of the first questions are easy enough for the kids to get into shouting out answers and then when the questions get too hard they like to shout out the most bizarre answers they can think of.

LOL! I got addicted to this show while I was sick in bed for quite a while and flipping through channels. I just love Ben and often, I find some of the "easy questions" things I don't know and then I do know the ones that supposed to be harder! I love when they get people in there that are real dynamos with the questions. Some of the people ....well, let's just say if I was them, I'd think twice about signing the release that they could show it. LOL Anyone else watch the show after it: "It Takes A Thief?" I love the two guys, esp. the one who does the "break ins." I'd be dying when he really trashes a house if that was mine! I'm sure they're compensated well, esp. if they get that security system for free!

Oh, Watching, I love when he takes their remote controls. When homeowners ask why he took them, his response is, cuz it pisses them off, lol. At one time we had an It takes a Thief thread, but I think it fell off the board. Sometimes it's a really hard show to watch, but other times it just cracks me up, especially when the h/o realizes that they really are just trying to help them and drive a point home and learn from it.

War...It amazes me how ticked off they get at him when they KNOW it's going to happen and have agreed to it!! They even get pissed at him when he DOESN'T make a mess!!!! I'm thinking... uh, you signed up for it!!!!!! What's really funny is when he drives off in their super pricey cars!! LOL NOW...WHAT I'M UPSET ABOUT MYSELF!!!!!!!!! I JUST TURNED ON DISCOVERY TO WATCH CA$H CAB AND IT'S NOT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I looked in my TV book for the week and they're showing this "How To" show at its time. SURE, GO AND MOVE IT JUST AS WE'RE GETTING INTO IT, DISCOVERY!!!!!!!!!! They better put it back...... grumble, grumble......

Watching, what amazes me even more is that "other than" seeing exactly what happens during a robbery, this is not the least bit disastourous for those people. Everything he takes, he brings back. If he breaks something like a window or a door, they replace it. They get a brand new security system, things most folks couldn't afford on their own or wouldn't think to put in on their own. AND they have a crew come in and clean up whatever mess he makes and post a security guard until they do the brand new alarm system! What the heck is their to get mad about? They know exactly what they've signed up for and whats going to happen. I know it's got to be tough to watch someone break into your house, but you know it's going to happen and what they'll do afterwards to make it right. I think the only thing I've seen that has truly disturbed me is when he scares the family dog and they take off, but even then they send someone to get the dog and then usually chip them and give them the collars and thingamajigs to alert the family if the pet leaves the yard.

Yep, they're really careful about things! It's on right now as a matter of fact, so I'm keeping this short on a commercial break! I checked the Discovery Channel site and they moved Ca$h Cab to 9am and 9:30am!!!! There's a place to send them comments and I went through the whole process to contact them to COMPLAIN! I told them to give us back our Cash Cab AND our Ben at the time we like!!!!! Here's what I found of their "new schedule."

Yeah it has been recording in the morning for me but I just watch it later. My DVR caught it because I guess I said to record any time.

It still ticks me off that I'd have to tape it to watch it. Right now because of the holidays, my VCR has been the most open for recording EVER, but give it a week and I'll have to reprogram every week to fit everything!
