Oh Sit! (previously known as Extreme Musical Chairs) is an hour-long game show competition series that premiered on August 15, 2012, on The CW.[1] The series, according to the network, is a "high-octane musical chairs competition".[2] Despite low ratings during its run, on September 26, 2012, Oh Sit! was renewed for a ten episode second season,[3][4] which premiered on Monday, April 15, 2013 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern/7:00 p.m. Central[5] and concluded on June 24, 2013.

Development

It was announced in September 2011 that The CW was developing a musical chairs–like game show that would change the format of the popular game into an extreme competition with multiple rounds.[6]

Reception

Critical reception

The series received a 49 out of 100 aggregate score, based on four early reviews, indicating "mixed or average" reception at Metacritic.[7] The New York Times' Nick Genzlinger called the series "raucous", adding that is a "a hilarious return to the childhood you never had – the fun, danger-filled, almost-anything-goes one."[8] Rob Owen of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette stated it was "a silly time-waster with terrible commentary by hosts Jamie Kennedy and Jessi Cruickshank."[9] Variety's Brain Lowry stated: "Sitting through an entire episode finally felt like more of an ordeal than fun, especially weathering Cruickshank's litany of jokes (the series credits eight writers, including the three exec producers) about what a slut she is."[7]

Production

Phil Gurin, who also created ABC's Shark Tank and The Singing Bee, Richard Joel and Deena Dill are the creators of the series and all three also serve as executive producers.[29]

The CW ordered 10 episodes of Oh Sit!, with the premiere on August 15, 2012, and a second episode the following night.[30] On September 26, 2012, Oh Sit! was renewed for a 10-episode second season.[31] Season 2 premiered on Monday, April 15, 2013[5] and ended on June 24, 2013.

Format

Each episode begins with 6 males and 6 females. There are 3 obstacles and 3 bridges in each round. Contestants lap around the track and accumulate a bank for each obstacle completed before the music stops. After the music stops they must cross a bridge without falling in the water to claim a chair. Each chair is worth a random amount of money which is added to their bank. In the first round, 2 competitors are eliminated for not finding a chair and 1 is eliminated for having the lowest banked score of the round. In the next 3 rounds, 1 is eliminated for not getting a chair and 1 for having the lowest bank of the round. 3 competitors advance to the final round called "Chair Mountain". Typically the winner accumulates a bank between $15,000 and $30,000 during the course of the show.

In Season 1 there were 2 female champions, 1 coming in an episode where 2 females were in the final round and 1 in an episode where all 3 finalists were female.

In Season 2, obstacles and bridges were substantially more difficult than in Season 1. The final round was also much more difficult with competitors frequently falling off Chair Mountain into the water multiple times. As a result no more than one female made the final round in any episode and all champions were male.
