Rep your bus stop

Let's face it, until The Bus Stop Game rolled into tow -- and onto your flatscreen -- you only rode the bus because you had to. You waited patiently on a bench or on foot to get where you wanted to go, bracing cool or hot temps and screaming babies. Ah, the good ole days...

If you have to bus it, why not wait in luxury? Check out this stop in, where else...New York City, sponsored by Ikea:

Seeing how we have a major Ikea here in the QC, will it only be a matter of time before one of our stops get pimped out, too? We shall see. But for now, where in Charlotte can we find the hottest bus stop? Let us know in the comments.

Throwback Thursdays: The funniest outtake in a game show...ever

The Bus Stop Game is recorded live, but we do a great job in editing so that the show is FCC-ready, if you know what I mean! One day, I hope the powers that be will allow me to share with you, some outtakes from the bus (and from the various bus stops, for that matter), but until then check out this week's throwback. It comes from the 70s Newlywed Game, where the word "whoopie" showed the innocence* of TV back then. :) *Please visit the YouTube page to see what was "bleeped" out. Or can you already guess what was was bleeped? LOL Bye!

The wheels on the bus go 'round n 'round!

Yes, The Bus Stop Game is taped live on an actual bus.

According to Wikipedia, a bus is defined as "a road vehicle designed to carry passengers. Buses can have a capacity as high as 300 passengers," which is perfect for accommodating the growing number of passengers. In today's economy, riding the bus is gaining more popularity than ever. Most major cities report an upsurge in ridership.

Besides, where else can you get your last-minute homework completed for school -- right before school begins? :) 

As most buses have the same design worldwide (our bus reminds me of the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo!), it should come to no surprise that the vehicle has prompted many songs, too. Most of us as kids member "Wheels on the Bus", but what about this goodie from the 1980s?

Throwback Thursday

While our hearts still go out to our Sandy-surviving game show lovers -- parts of NYC still look like Venice without the berets -- we want to entertain you with a throwback from Family Feud, starring the late, great Richard Dawson, the kissing bandit:
