    Is it just me, or are all the panelists homosexuals? Not that I have anything against that. But seriously now... calling George Wendt "GEORGY-POO!" and "Big fella" is not really necessary... Anyhow, it's nice to see an attempt at reviving the old show, but the panelists annoy me, some of their guesses seem rigged, and the host makes it too easy by giving away too many clues and not Is it just me, or are all the panelists homosexuals?

    Jermaine Taylor tries his hardest to ruin the show and succeeds somewhat, and the other panelists are, at least, not excruciatingly annoying, particularly Billy, but the show itself just isn't that much fun, and none of the panelists are funny. The "clue" at the beginning of every game makes or breaks it for the contestant, as some are blatant giveaways while others barely have Jermaine Taylor tries his hardest to ruin the show and succeeds somewhat, and the other panelists are, at least, not excruciatingly annoying, particularly Billy, but the show itself just isn't that much fun, and none of the panelists are funny.

    This coarse, unfunny mess is a Secret not worth keeping. [21 Apr 2006, p.67]

    The B-list panel... doesn't measure up to the likes of erudite and quick-witted Henry Morgan or Bill Cullen. But they enjoy themselves, and their fun can be contagious at times.

    The original "I've Got a Secret" was such a simple game show, and such a simple pleasure, that the only way to botch a remake would be to either spice it up or dumb it down. The Game Show Network... manages to do both.
