The Resume

    (November 14, 2006-December 13, 2006)
    Aired on ABC
    Hosted by William Shatner
    Premise: Contestants answer trivia questions and select scrolls (held by 13 dancing models) containing various dollar amounts

Why Show Me the Money might be annoying:

    Everything about it (especially the host) was campy.
    During random parts of the show, the contestants, the models and William Shatner would dance to salsa music.
    Its title was taken from an overused catchphrase from the film 'Jerry Maguire.'
    It was basically just 'Deal or No Deal' with trivia questions thrown in.
    The contestants were required to scream 'Show me the money!' before the models opened their scrolls.
    One advertisement for the show described it as being 'Shat-tastic!'
    Although seven weeks-worth of episodes were produced, it was canceled after five weeks.

Why Show Me the Money might not be annoying:

    William Shatner would sometimes use his trademark 'dramatic pauses' while reading the questions.
    The dancing models were great eye candy.
    The contestants usually walked away with 6-figure cash prizes.
    Due to the sheer silliness of the show's content and William Shatner's odd hosting style, it has a small cult following.
