    So I hear GSN is launching a shocking new game show called “Without Prejudice?? It’s all about people’s prejudices and how seemingly ordinary people judge others based on first impressions. Looks like it’s gonna be pretty juicy, but I am sure it’s gonna get a lot of people pretty heated. It’s about time a network stepped out of the typical programming mold. Tune in Tuesdays at @ 9PM. Nice!

    The podcast for this show just came out on itunes, but you’ve been able to find videos for a while on youtube. Check it out: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=260233972

    Hey Thanks for the link Mario. I love this show. Didn’t know they had a podcast:)

  4. ANN Says:

    Interesting article overall. You guys are talking about Without Prejudice and I have actually seen postings on craigslist for this show in cities like nashville, dallas, etc. Of course, in LA one can always check craigslist for casting.

    I just saw this show, it is really good. I was unsure at first of the idea, but it turned out to be really interesting. I think it can change some people views.

  6. Matt Says:

    This show annoys me. Why do people have to be so stupid? I watch it but I find myself throwing things at the television set.

  7. Larissa Says:

    haha. I don’t think it’s that bad. Glad to see other fans out there. Looking forward to tonight’s episode.

  8. John Says:

    This week’s episode was a perfect example of how people judge by titles. Everyone liked the christian guy because he converted and did good. . . .until they found out he was gay. Then he was booted like the rest. Didn’t matter what he accomplished.

  9. Mario Says:

    Missed that one. That’s pretty unfair.

  10. Travis Says:

    This week’s show was good but kind of boring. I liked the winner but the judges didn’t really argue that much, it was kinda slow.

  11. Matt Says:

    Yeah I thought the last showas pretty good, not all the judges are stupid this time. I thought this show was pretty slow also. Does anyone know if there is gonna be another season??
