1 vs 100 so Thunderdome

I’m pretty sure this is a repeat episode and I’m pretty sure Bob Saget gets close to the eery truth with his silly jokey thing about the moment the contestant insults the mob. |
Insult the mob she does… a couple of times. Contestant Carrie or Kary S. [no subscript, so no correct spelling, here] snipes during one question her doubts whether the mob is smart enough to get the correct answer, then at another
question—on exercise stylings—jabs something about how she doubts this mob knows much about exercise.
Okay, so there are some flabby folks up there in the neon bleachers, but there are also models and all kinds of fit-looking fellows.
Better is when she gets a question about how many six-packs would one need to make 99 bottles of beer on the wall, and after doing some back assward math that gets her nowhere, she says she doesn’t drink beer and therefore needs help answering the question.
Okay, wait. What?
That’s nothin’. Among the mob members are a 40-year-old virgin named Michael B. Rich; the current mob champion (at the time of the original airing), Ned Andrews; six school principals; and six Maxim models. One of the Maxim models gets the answer wrong and sniffs how she doesn’t drink that nasty beer that bloats you all up but drinks wine instead.
Corse, Saget is ever quick-with-a-reort, and asks her how many bottles of wine she drinks [to be of a mindset that believes you have to be a beer drinker to answer a math question concerning numbers of bottles of beer].
Whooooooo. I am exhausted and the game has yet to get fired up, ala Thunderdome!
Later, we get to see Adam West, three Rhodes scholars, and six drag queens, so I had better not give up on the show yet.

How cheap can NBC gets, running a rerun of a prime time game show.
I’d rather see them burn off all the pilots they produced.
There was a time the networks did that. It was pretty cool for us TV geeks.
