Co-host Crystal Wallasch mostly stands around and catches the balls as they come out of the machine -- she appears to mostly be there to look good. If prizes are mentioned but not won, they don't get described. Parents need to know that there's very little iffy content in this family-friendly game show.
Contestants are eager to win and get prizes which are mentioned by name and therefore serve as promotion for the companies that supply them , but that's to be expected. The spokesmodel co-host doesn't seem to have much to do besides stand around and look good, but she's not as sexed up as the women on shows like Deal or No Deal. There's a strong home-play component, with viewers encouraged to print out traditional Bingo cards and mark out the numbers as the balls come out of the machine.

The show's play-along element is more traditional; viewers at home print out cards from the show's site -- if you get a Bingo, you go back to the site to claim a prize. Bingo America is a pretty basic quiz show, but it's fun in the way that most similar shows are -- especially since it has the play-along angle. No, this isn't Jeopardy!
The questions are pretty straightforward, although they do get harder as the game progresses. But there are always also a couple of questions that even a young child can answer -- such as "name the marble-munching African animal from the children's game" answer, the hippo.
And that helps make it fun for viewers of all ages. Families can talk about why companies would want to supply prizes for game shows. What benefits to they get from having their products shown on TV? How is this different than paid product placement on other shows? Families can also discuss the appeal of game shows. Why do people enjoy watching them?

GSN is an industry-leading, game content provider distributing competition programming through its million subscriber cable television network and its casual and skill-based online games site, GSN. As the premier television network for games, GSN produces some of the most popular original casino and game show series on TV today.
GSN is distributed throughout the U. The aim was to print off the cards and see the ads for the upcoming ABC shows on the website. The cards were used by perspective viewers to play bingo at home while the show is going on. I have no problems whatsoever with this gimmick, as it was duplicated in the pseudo revival of this show in Bingo America. The problems I have with the show is everything else with the show, starting with the host. Let's talk about the Howie Mandel wannabe Ed Sanders.
This might have been the compromise because he was recovering from slicing his hand open while doing a build on Extreme Makeover. Ed on this show is loud and shouty and doesn't know how to rein it in on his end, making him more of an irritant than a solid host. He might have thought he was still on the construction site rather than a TV studio. This show also has a commsioner by the name of Sunil Narkar.
There is something about this casting that makes it more uncomfortable than it should. Maybe it's the ref shirt when he has the title of commisioner and makes him feel more of a lesser to Ed Sanders, I don't know. Or maybe there is no banter between him and Ed to give the idea that they are equal. In the memiest way possible. I should also not that Sunil did host a pilot for an Indian version of Bingo America and he did alright there. If they had him be like this as commishioner, it might have been alright, but just another example of poor asset management on the part of Andrew Glassman, the producer.
It's one of the things that really gets me while looking back at all the bad game shows I covered.
