TV.com summary

How Much Is Enough? was a game show that premiered on GSN on January 8, 2008. Four contestants compete against a "money clock." The show was hosted by Corbin Bernsen.

The general premise of the show is to avoid being the greediest player. For each money clock played, a dollar figure is shown that rapidly increases or decreases. Players hold lock-out buzzers behind their backs and secretly lock in at a point when they believe the money clock is high enough to be valuable to them, but low enough not to be the "greediest" player (the one who locks in at the highest value). For each of the five money clocks ($1,000, $2,000, $3,000, $4,000, and $5,000), the greediest player banks no money. For the $5,000 clock, the most cautious (lowest value) player also banks nothing. The remaining players for each clock bank the value they locked in at. The $1,000, $3,000 and $5,000 clocks count from zero upward to that amount, and the $2,000 and $4,000 clocks count down from that amount to zero.

After the five money clocks, the two players with the most money banked go to the final face-off. The players' scores are added together and become the top value for the Final Money Clock. The clock counts up from $0 and the first player to lock in wins the value shown on the clock. The other player wins nothing.

[edit] Ratings

On January 22, GSN announced that the show was performing under expectations. This caused the network to move the show from the 9pm slot, to Saturday-Sunday at 11pm. On March 31, GSN permanently removed the show from the schedule due to low ratings.
