    Has anyone on the board seen this show yet?? I think it is the funniest programme on TV for years (well apart from Family Guy).

    Just looking at people who are in sheer terror is hilarious, I am surprised that the show has not been sued yet.

    It's obviously staged, terrible. Makes you've been framed look like a classic. The bit where the guy blew up her grandad with the laser gun was just pathetic

    yeah, saw the one with the plasma rifle too, pretty lame stuff. I'm told they did funnyer ones though. might give it another chance, at least beedle had a freaky hand to look at if you got bored of the cheesy set ups.

    Shannon Doherty? Nope, I don't think so. I cringe when I see her. Her script is absolutely terrible, and her delivery isn't much better.

    The show isn't great at all. Nice idea, but cheesy music and bad acting make the whole think so fake.

    I dont think anyone cares about Shannons
    script or dialogue. :)

    Nah the pranks are too obvious, and they end far too quickly. And sometimes the people who are getting the prank played on them, don't seem scared, or even bothered.

    Only saw one prank, when the mom's kid went missing with the closet monster. It's hysterical.

    I thought the same as someone else though, about the sketches being too short. However I came to a semi-satisfactory conclusion in my own mind... this programme isn't really about a long-drawn out illusion, it's about a quick hit of shock value and the reaction - then they wind the prank down from there.

    it was ok but it did look staged, just like all american "reality" tv shows.

    its a kind of lame rip off of punk'd which is a far superior show because they pull some cool pranks on celebs. anyone see the justin timerlake or Pink one?

    i reckon there will be a host of these types of windup shows in making now.

    listen folks in tv land stop making these shows.
