The Law Firm Nixed: DoND Sooner Than Expected?

According to my friend Steve Beverly from TVGameshows.net, The Law Firm, yet another "The Apprentice" ripoff from The Practice producer David E. Kelly set in the law realm, has been taken off the network. The rest of the episodes will be shown on NBC's sister network Bravo after achieving low ratings. No air date has been set. While this is off NBC now, no filler has been announced. If they choose to put a rerun or a double first episode run of a currently existing show in there, they may be needing Deal or No Deal sooner than expected. Buzzer originally reported that DoND was rumored to begin in September (probably around the middle-end), but could it be even sooner? We'll keep you posted.

Rumor Has It: Game Show Moments Gone Bananas

If Cory can remember that image, hopefully he'll put it up. I totally forgot what it was.

There was originally a bit of a commotion with GSN about VH1 airing these, but after the shows got high ratings, GSN gave in and is apparently in negotiations. If it's official, we'll post it ASAP.

Peter Jennings: 1938-2005

As with all other news websites, I have the deep regret to inform you that Peter Jennings died yesterday, August 7th, at the age of 67. As a reporter and journalist, I looked up to Mr. Jennings as the archetype of what a good and thourough journalist should be. It is extremely sad to lose one of the best if not the best journalist around today. You are in our thoughts.

Flame War: The Amazing Race

We have a new segment with the 5th episode of the podcast: Flame War (Name could very well change). What we are looking for is a few strongly opinionated people to email us their opinion of the subject we give them.

We really would love to hear what you say and you will be in the podcast if

FINALLY: A new Podcast

OK, I took it up and redid the format of the podcast to make it seem like a real chat show, and for my first try, it didn't turn out too badly. It's semi-long (around 30 minutes like a real show), but you get some nice information there. An interview with Gordon Pepper of Game Show NewsNet, Rapidfire Reviews of Lingo, Extreme Dodgeball, and BallBreakers, Mailbag, Newsdesk, music, all kinds of stuff. Be sure to check it out right here May contain some swearing.

Distraction Time Slot Moved

DISTRACTION RENEWED

In a non-surprising move, Fremantle's hit game show Distraction has been renewed for a 2nd season. At least in my opinion this is Fremantle's best game show besides The Price is Right. This is the first game show that the network tried since the 2nd season of Beat the Geeks aired. The hit game show has been renewed after it finished airing in March/April. The date of Jimmy Carr's return has not been set, but keep checking here for up to the minute news on Distraction and other shows. Below is a link of where you can be a contestant. NOTE: You must be 21. Become a contestant on Distraction

Updates soon

We've all been away on vacation, but I'm here and I'll be doing MAJOR updates soon, including a non-opinion based account of the new Lingo season. I apparently am not allowed to voice my opinion or else I get emails saying that it's wrong. I'll also be setting up a podcast involving the new Ken Jennings game show, GSN's new shows and maybe ratings, GSC, and more. Stay tuned!
