One of the best parts about digital cable is the favorite channels list. The Game Show Network is not on mine, so I don't know much about their Lingo show other than it's hosted by Chuck Woolery, formerly of the Love Connection, who has remarkably well-highlighted hair. According to the Web site, Lingo contestants solve word puzzles to earn money and balls. The more balls, the more points you get. If you get a red ball, you lose your turn. I always thought it was blue balls that were bad, but I'm a girl, so what do I care? If you want to get money and balls, auditions for Lingo are from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. this Saturday at the Foley’s in Stonebriar Centre, 2601 Preston Road in Frisco. Visit gsn.com/lingo.
Sat., May 13, 2-5 p.m.
