Firstly, I love the idea of having characters in a game show. It's not something that you usually see, as far as I know. Tamara, Brad, Fard, and Doug do wonderful jobs in their roles. I'm not sure about Barney. I was also doing some reading near the beginning and I missed him.
Secondly, I like improvised humor and trivia. The game show has some improvised jokes from Brad and trivia. Perfect!
Thirdly, I like the "punishments", such as wearing an Optimus Prime mask or speaking as Rita.
Negatives:
Firstly, certain parts of it were hard to hear, but I saw a comment from Rob saying that they were going to change that in future episodes. (Also, the comment said that Brad couldn't be there at one point, so Fard would host. Cool!) Additionally, I didn't like the shakiness of the camera during the otherwise fairly interesting games.
Secondly, I felt myself drifting off at several points. To be fair, it's hard for some new shows to capture my initial attention and I was already tired before I started watching it. I'm sure that I will be more entertained on a second viewing.
Final Score: C+, or 'Okay.' I will continue to watch the show. I'm excited to see what happens next. Have a wonderful day, everyone!
