The Show
From Homestar Runner Wiki
- This article is about the Homestar's game/political talk show. For the Strong Bad Email, see the show.
The Show is the set where Homestar Runner holds his supposed "game and political talk" show.
The Show has many similarities to real game shows. The set is modeled much after those designed in the 1970's. In particular, the rounded rectangles, chasing lights, and orange shag carpet featured in the background suggest a reference to the Match Game prior to 1979. Homestar's mic is just like Bob Barker's from The Price is Right, or possibly Gene Rayburn's from the Match Game. The game Pom Pom and The Poopsmith are playing in email the show bears resemblance to Tic Tac Dough, a popular game show from the late '70s and early '80s.
