Patrick 'B-14!' Duffy is his name-o

Patrickduffy_l Last May, nothing was farther off my radar than ABC's weekly (and weakly-received) National Bingo Night. I saw those promos and thought, "What next, Regional Polka Expo?"

Fast forward to today's strike-ravaged TV landscape, which finds NBN's producer in a recycling mood, and me willing to watch anything.

Like this, which will star Patrick Duffy (pictured).

My reaction to this news, literally, was: "Please let the strike end soon because this lamebrain programming has got to stop — wait, I can win money while I watch? Hell yes, I'll tune in!"

Tell me, PopWatchers, will you be trying your luck in March when Game Show Network's Bingo America debuts?

Why can't I get my free bingo cards?

Regional Polka Expo! Now that's a show I'd like to see.

I would rather watch my cat hack up a hair ball than watch Bingo! What's next, Bikini Wax America?

Seriously, Duffy looks deranged in that photo. Is that some sort of joke from the ABC's publicity department? Is the concept of a show centered around Bingo the ultimate punchline to said joke? Will it take place in a church? Will it be as boring as it sounds? Will Patrick Duffy suddenly die before reading the final number only to come back and say it was a dream? The possibilities of making this the worst show ever to appear on television seem endless!

I couldn't even read the article because I was so distracted by that freaky picture of Patrick Duffy!

Sounds tempting, but I'd rather watch gastropods mate in my garden.
