headline mesabi: Must See HDTV (December 19th

(Sunday, ABC/ESPN)

It's yet another trivia show, however the twist in this one is that a wrong answer causes contestants to not only be eliminated, but also dropped out of sight below the floor. In a bit of of good or bad news, depending on your perspective, this probably puts us all one step scloser to seeing The Running Man as a real show.
(Monday-Thursday, NBC, 8PM)

Even if you're not, this show brings a lot more to the table as a group of friends antagonize each other both in their virtual league and in real life.
