Has anyone watched this show on Court TV and pictured the entire exercise as a Shadowrun waiting to happen?
Or as an amusing Shadowrun 101? -Siege |

I saw it. I actually thought it was pretty unrealistic. They had way too much time and made way too much noise.

It would be a lot better if the real game show was to actually infiltrate a building that no one knew a game show was being taped in. That, I would watch. Especially if the building's security used lethal force in dealing with intruders.

I have yet to actually watch an episode, but I did skim the website.
Apparently each has a background or career field that offers special skills more or less relevant skills to the game. A number of the "challenges" are set up with the singular intent to excite without serious harm - the cage of lions, for example. -Siege |

Mmm, it dosen't look very realistic, so I think it's dumb.
