just curious - does it also bother you that I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue,
they talk a lot about points and scores - but never give them out? Does
that ruin the show for you?

not really, because by its very nature 'ISIHAC' is in fact the antidote to panel games, it actually makes it funnier when they mention something about the score and points, and then never announce what the current score is, the idea that they are leaving you hanging and then move on to something else is quite funny, because its the idea that it plays with people's expectations, which is really nice actually.
