I love the program--they make the players reach, and they assume you've been paying attention to what's going on in the world. But they also convey enough nonsense to make it clear that not all that is "news" is equally important, making the segment that asks the contestant to figure out which one of three outlandish stories is true a real treat to listen to.

I also like the fact that they didn't ditch Paula Poundstone as a panelist when all of her difficulties occurred last year. That shows real character.
