The Cube

The show concept is challenging and fun, the host is fine but OMG the constant chit chat and commercials make it unwatchable.

If it weren't for the constant commercial interruptions and talking(also singing ??), I would rate it an 8/10.

I don't watch reality TV and haven't watched game shows since I was a little girl chillin with my memaw. I keep my TV on TBS throughout the day (so pets don't get lonely haha) anyway because if this, Ive woken up to, or come home from work to, seeing this show airing repeats. I have found myself stopping to watch it when it's on. Sadly before this, I didn't even know who the host was. Well I like him, he seems fun and like a really cool guy. He's cracked me up a few times too. The games are exciting, the contestants are fun, so far anyway. I think it's a decent show! Especially if you have children and would like to watch something without cussing, sex or anything else you DON'T want to watch with your kids in the room. Family shows are few and far between these day. This is one you can safely watch as a family.

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.

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.
