For all the dangling of the carrot before the show premiered, I was excited for the first episode. I watched it and while it isn’t as funny as Impractical Jokers, it has enough miserableness and suspense to keep your attention. This game show has two teams competing against each other. The four friends (Q, Murray, Joe, and Sal) are paired with two contestants who have done something embarrassing in their own lives (who hasn’t done this) and are introduced to the audience and viewers. They watch real-life events and based on a scale from 1 to 100 and scored by the experts. The contestant who advances to the final round gets the chance to win $30,000. It reminds me of Hollywood Game Night a little bit, but The Misery Index has something it doesn’t and that is the antics of the four life long friends and the facial expressions of Jameela Jamil. It airs on Tuesday on TBS and has a rating of TV-14.
I rate The Misery Index GOOD at 80%.
It gets THREE FINGERS.
