Fox's "The Rich List" Should Take Advice From Santa

Fox has a new game show that debuted last night called The Rich List. Sort of a mix of Who Wants to be a Millionaire and Name That Tune where teams bid on how many items they can name in a given category. Categories, or lists, from the first night included 'Top 50 Broadway Shows', 'Movies with Tom Cruise', 'Animated Disney Movies', and 'Books and Short Stories by Stephen King'. Now that last list touched a sore spot with me. I'm a Stephen King fan. I have a bookcase of nothing but King books and I could have totally rocked that question. However, the bid only went up to 9 and the team that got stuck with backing up their bid flopped miserably by naming "Rose Red" which was a screenplay by King, but not a book (although one could argue that a screenplay is still a story... don't worry, no need to reach that far for an arguement, keep reading). Eemonn, the uninspiring host of The Rich List, replied by telling them the name of the book was "Rose Madder". *Sigh* Yes, there was a book called Rose Madder, but it was totally unrelated to the television mini series Rose Red not even a character or plot line in common. Two different stories. This just points out that the list really wasn't so rich. Gee, it is almost like saying that a movie made by Pixar and distributed by Disney is a Disney movie... whoops! they did that too. Eemonn, your production crew needs a lesson from the man in the big red suit... make your list... and check it twice!
