Pretty funny. But I can't help the feeling that this show really scrapes the barrel of panel show premises.

I loved that bit . I wanted it to be true so much. A pretty good start to the series overall, I think Rob did a good job

It does rather. I still get more laughs from it than other panel shows though

Is it really that bad? It's only a vehicle for them to be funny, so it doesn't really bother me.

I like it when he gets justifiably annoyed by people thinking he's some sort of old-fashioned, pompous technophobe, like that embarrasing interview with Jonathan Ross.

No that's "As Seen On TV" surely.

That was bad. But it was Ross after all. Cock.

As Seen On TV is great. And has substance, there's a point to it - TV trivia. It's not the typical comic panel game. This one just feels like they sat around a table with the intention of developing a panel game, but everything had already been done.
Like I say though, it's still pretty funny.
This is actually my favourite panel show. I like the fact that the actual game is of interest and it isn't just the jokes of the panellists that keep it going. I do wish Ross had agreed to be on it though.
I prefer this to ASOTV myself. I preferred Tele Addicts. 
Enjoyed it basically for David Mitchell. Especially, as noted, the "Well done the Joke Computer" line, which I particularly enjoyed because it's rare that you hear a panelist actually subtly slag off a tired and predictable autocue joke on these shows. (Talking of which, how many programme associates (writers) were there on the credits? 9 or so? That's surely the most I've ever seen on a UK panel show.)
See the boss' kid on work experience (aka Russell Howard) was there as usual. Doesn't he have a home to go to?
I remember when this show was called 'Call My Bluff' and featured grave dodging zombies and some paedo in a bow tie.
David Mitchell was funny though and I suppose this will have to do until they bring back 'Give Us A Clue' with Alan Carr and Frankie Boyle.

That's crafty, but it's not quite Derren Brown, is it?
