    While it remains true there is nothing new under the sun--in this case, quite literally--the new CBS series Game Show in My Head happens to be legitimately entertaining and a kick to watch.

    None of this is really funny, most of it is excruciating, and the half-hour would be entirely abominable if Craig weren't such an unruffled good sport.

    When the pranks aren't gross, they are just inane--or, worse, demeaning to journalists.

    It's one thing to have a candid camera show where the pranks are all in good fun, but this takes it to another level. Using people as objects to gain money for yourself is pathetic. One woman actually helps this man by giving him her shoes -- SHE'S THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE AWARDED $5000 -- not the tool that manipulated her to do so. Instead, the show rewards the liar and manipulator. It's painful to watch.… Expand
