The Cube

I've been watching television for 60 years now. The Cube has to be the worst show I've ever seen! It's absolutely horrible! Duane Wade is a terrible host and the show itself is just awful. I sat through Herman's Head, The Ropers, Hello Larry, and Cop Rock to name a few. The Cube is the worst! Way to many commercials, boring games, scripted and choreographed scenes, just bad TV. Duane Wade acts as if he just wants to end each game and grab his paycheck for the day. I am perplexed on how this can even be a real show on television in the 2020's. Who is watching this stuff? I'd rather watch Hee Haw reruns than this.

This is a very good game show I think they picked Dwyane Wade the right host for this game show is the toughest game show I ever seen on TV can't wait for the next episode and a lot of people know that this show was in British but why not bring it to America so people in America could watch it on TBS I think this was a good idea good job tbs but I know there is going to be a lot of people hating on the show but who cares what you people think.

To put it simply, there are just too many commercials. I understand that most shows use it for build-up but they do it for every game. Tough to keep watching.

Booooooring. Though it would be the perfect companion to a warm glass of milk and a shot of thorazine. The "action" must be too much for the producers too. Their choice of source music that sounds like Enya playing a didgeridoo says as much.

This is another of the big box game shows that have become prevalent. The big item on this show is a cube that measures 15 square feet. Contestants play inside the cube, which adds intensity and defines the field of play.

Dwyane Wade plays host to teams of two. The cube has sophisticated lighting and a floor that can be programmed to display games. The graphics are done well.

A team gets 9 lives to complete as many games as possible. If they win all seven games, they take home $250,000. But it is tough to win the games, which can be about hand-eye coordination or memory, often timed. Most game shows have audiences, but this one does not, so it feels more like a sterile atmosphere where it is just a player versus the game at hand. Some tasks are designed for two players.

The games are not easy and the rewards are significant. Since most games are timed, viewers can feel the pressure the contestants are under. Wade tries to keep things light and personable, but "the cube" does some trash talking, always pointing out the failures of the contestants. Fortunately, the actual games are interesting and challenging.
