    It's fabulous in every sense of the word.
  2. The B-list panel... doesn't measure up to the likes of erudite and quick-witted Henry Morgan or Bill Cullen. But they enjoy themselves, and their fun can be contagious at times.

    This coarse, unfunny mess is a Secret not worth keeping. [21 Apr 2006, p.67]
  4. The original "I've Got a Secret" was such a simple game show, and such a simple pleasure, that the only way to botch a remake would be to either spice it up or dumb it down. The Game Show Network... manages to do both.

    Why oh why does half the panel have to be flambuoyant gay men. I get very tired of that lazy, wink-wink humor.

    Is it just me, or are all the panelists homosexuals? Not that I have anything against that. But seriously now... calling George Wendt "GEORGY-POO!" and "Big fella" is not really necessary... Anyhow, it's nice to see an attempt at reviving the old show, but the panelists annoy me, some of their guesses seem rigged, and the host makes it too easy by giving away too many clues and not keeping it restricted to yesses and nos. eh.
