I think so.  How do they expect the people in the burbs to relate to such a dumb show.  I don't even know what a cab is really?  And could you at least make the cab a little more stereotypical say like the one in Plains, Trains & Automobiles?  If anyone knows of a worser trivia show, I'd like to know.  TIA
Here's hoping that Clams is chillin' with someone cool up in that big EMAW in the sky. RIP Clams, RIP.

i love it.  imo, steve dave would make a great cash cab host.


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

its not that bad of a show.  i never ridden in a cab, but never found it hard to relate to a show where they ask you questions for money.

Why not cash combine then or cash rickshaw? Dumb, it's just dumb.

I keep thinking a good combination of Cash Cab and Taxicab Confessions would make for great TV.

Jeopardy. A trivia show where you give the answer then ask the question, how long it take for them to figure out that concept.

I've always wanted to see someone say "Is it [whatever]?" rather than "Who is...?" or "What is...?"

My roommate and I usually watch Cash Cab when it's on in the afternoon. Yesterday we were just sitting there somewhat watching it when Ben Bailey asked a question that mentioned K-State. It was something like "Home to Kansas State University, what is the name of the city nicknamed "The Little Apple"? I was all  :love:  :woohoo:  :ksu:  :excited:  :drool:

    shame on you, non-believers
CC is a great show. Host is pretty funny. Questions are entertaining.

CC After Dark is even better (drunk contestants).

So are you saying they don't want it to turn into a Taxicab Confessions?

My God what glorious television.

Would you bozos risk it all and go double-or-nothing on a video bonus question?
I sure as hell would.  :hope:

The government should step in and do something about his driving.  It's much more distracted than any cell phone user.
