Internet Invades Your TV In A Hyper-Obnoxious "Fresh Prince" Kind Of Way

Popular Internet game "Catch 21" has been adapted into a TV show, and will be popping into your living room like pornography spam via the Game Show Network ... oh wait, they're called GSN now, not the Game Show Network. Cause it makes a difference.

Hosting the show is recently bloated D-list star, Alfonso Ribeiro, whom you may remember from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air or may have forgotten completely.

"Catch 21" is the first Internet game to be adapted into a television show. I think. Who cares? The idea might be interesting if "Catch 21" could be played interactively from your living room. Instead, you'll have to log on to the Internet and play separately from the squealing Midwestern housewives and out-of-work accounting assistants, just like you were doing before.

There are plans to recruit the most die-hard "Catch 21" players to become contestants and, if all goes well, adapt other Internet games for television. But what?

I say Snood. Snood with real-life alien creatures. Kinda like Nickelodeon's Double Dare, but with guns. And children.
