I saw a promo for a Candid Camera show. They set up one of those things at a theater entrance like you see in department stores for catching shoplifters. But in this case it's a hidden candy detector. Then they trip it as people walk through. The clip I saw showed a girl pulling boxes of candy out of her purse. Looks like a hoot. You'd have to check local listings because it'll probably run at different times in different cities.

I watched a few shows about a year ago, its aired on PAX every Sunday night and is a great alternative to 60 Seconds. They still manage to come up with some funny stiff on occassion. Its now being done, and the show hosted by Alan Funt's son.

I still love and remember how funny the old classic Alan Funt shows were. The talking mailbox, the car that pulled into a gas station with only three tires out of four, The lady that wanted fresh air put in her tires etc.

Ther is a web site for the show at www.candidcamera.com

I have two favorites from the old shows. One where they push a car downhill without an engine, it pulls into a full service gas station at the bottom of the hill. The attendant lifts the hood to check the oil, tells the guy his engine is missing. The guy replies, "well it was in there when I pulled in".
The other is when they fitted a 100 gal gas tank into an old Volkswagon bug. Then did a bet with a gas station attendant as to how much gas the volkswagon could hold.
