Another victim of high gas prices?
LOL @AppleStinx
Weird, what it’d cost to make, 10 bucks a episode ?
I’ve been bummed ever since I found out contestants already knew in advance that they were going to be picked up by the Cash Cab.
@Bud Only partly true. I appeared on very early episode as show was starting up. Recruited like many from a pub trivia team in New York City, I was lured on false pretenses to attend some event downtown. The producer went out with me to “to hail a cab.” Several vacant ones went by; she even stopped me from entering one. (That should have been a clue something was up.) Finally, the “right” cab arrives and she opens the door for me. I get in; she stays outside. Suddenly, the inside lights go on and I’m told I’m on Cash Cab. We drive however many blocks. My pot goes to $300, but I lose it all on the final challenge. I was then let out — and had to hoof it back to my office (all this took place on my lunch hour) on my own. All in all, I would have preferred to know what was going on ahead of time — so I wouldn’t have felt like it turned out to be an annoying waste of time.
Bad move by Discovery, unless it was Ben who didn’t want to make any more. Great game show that holds up even in repeat showings. If i’m a programming exec, I keep this going with fresh episodes as long as I can! The residuals alone make it a win-win for all concerned.
Is it wrong that I thought the show was cancelled like 5 years ago?
Odd that I havent seen a new episode in many many years. Reruns are like 5 years old. News flash. Old show that disappeared is now cancelled
@Raggedt: OR You’re lying! Don’t you just love the internet! You can lie about anything and get away with it! BTW my name is Tom Crooze and I’m Tom Cruise’s stunt double! Prove me wrong people, prove me wrong! You can’t! HAHAHAHAHA

Hey NBC, it’s cheap and would probably rate better than most shows on your network!
Ha, true, tvdude.
