Frank, what did you think of the Scrabble game show?`

Since you are a competitive Scrabble player, I'm interested in what you thought.

Screw Frank. I'll answer the question. This is not the Scrabble game show that America asked for. Nothing like the classic Scrabble from the 1980s and 1990s. Boring, boring, boring. A real Scrabble game is way more exciting.

On a related note, the new Trivial Pursuit game show was also boring, but slightly more interesting than Scrabble.

I've never seen it, so I can't answer that question. But I'm sure it is NOTHING like a real competitive Scrabble game. How could it be?

What you call the "classic Scrabble from the 1980s and 1990s" had nothing to do with real Scrabble and I hated it. Here's what a friend of mine from the Scrabble world posted today:
"The rules of the game were authentic. Some game shows have a history of using a familiar title and then the show is unlike the actual game, but I thought they did a good job being true to historic Scrabble."
Also, screw you.

Yes! It would be nice to have a Thumbs Up and a Thumbs Down button.
