New “Family Feud” Logo For 2007-2008 Season
The new logo for Family Feud's 2007-2008 season was released, and I have to say, it's really awesome. Much better than whatever the hell they had last season. This retro-looking logo looks back to the wonderful Richard Dawson days which practically everything on the show does currently. Not only that, but this season we're hearing the furniture in the family portrait area has a new 70s look to it. Also, apparently John O'Hurley is doing even better. I don't see how he could get that much better since he was incredible last season (except for the damn jumping at the buzzer, which thankfully ended). O'Hurley just might be the best host since Richard Dawson if he keeps this up. I've never been a big fan of Ray Combs, so that gap

Early Look at “Without Prejudice?”
I was looking forward to the DVD of GSN's new original game show Without Prejudice? for a very long time. When it finally came yesterday, I popped that thing in, sat down on the couch, and readied myself for an hour of drama and thought provoking action. My anticipation of this show was furthered by the constant commercials on GSN for its debut on July 17th at 9PM ET. Did the actual show live up to the hype? I can firmly say yes. In fact, this is quite possibly one of the best, if not the best, show GSN has ever done. Read on after the break for the rules and my opinions.

“Camouflage” Online Game Launches
Sorry for the lack of updates recently. I'm going on vacation tomorrow and I've been really busy. If you want a small look at how Camouflage plays, you can enjoy the new Camouflage mini game recently launched on GSN.com. The game plays nearly identically to the show. I will note that the writing on the show is much much much better, so don't be alarmed by the clues. Give it a whirl and see how you

Price is Right to be Streamed Online
Variety is reporting that Price is Right will soon be streamed on CBS's awful Innertube service. The service is not avaliable yet, but the similar soap operas are being posted after 6pm ET in case you're curious of when they will be posted. CBS only plans to keep these episodes up for a week after they air, so you'll have to watch

Many GSN Schedule Changes
Normally, this would be in Mini Buzz, but there's too many changes and opinions to bother.I don't think I've ever seen a cable network pull an acquired show after such a short run. After two, maybe three, episodes, GSN has pulled Show Me the Money from their lineup. It's not even on their show list anymore. A representative from GSN told BuzzerBlog, "[It's] just a schedule change for the moment." It's being replaced by Dog Eat Dog. I'd honestly like to know if GSN thought that picking up a rather large failure would be smart. Did they actually think a show that hardly got over 5,000,000 people after people finally saw the show and was practically universally panned would be a big hit. The awful Richard Karn episodes

“Who Wants to be a Millionaire” Releases New Online Game
About time Who Wants to be a Millionaire gets a new game, isn't it? They've been stuck with that old piece of crap game since the original ABC days. This new game is video based and lets you play against former contestants using their exact question stack. The game tests if you are as good as the people that have made it on the show; you also get the benefit of using all the lifelines at the point they did. The game does include videos straight from the show as well. I've played it a bit today, and it's quite a bit of fun. Check it out here. In addition, hot off of the success of GSN's original Paris Hilton pop culture-infused game The Prison Life, GSN has launched a sequel, The Prison Life 2: Full Release. Really,

AP: Rosie’s Out of “Price is Right” Job Hunt
I ever tell you how sick I am of Rosie O'Donnell and The Price is Right news? Rosie said that she had a nice lunch with producers on Friday, but has suddenly changed her mind and stated "Well, here's the thing: I really don't need a job. I'm in a weird position. I don't need the money. So to get my entire family uprooted from their lives and move them across the country so that I can have a fantasy childhood indulgence, you know, job ... it just doesn't seem fair." Rosie hails from New York.

Joey Fatone to Host “The Singing Bee”
None of the writers decided to update today, so sorry for delays. According to TVWeek, NBC has supposedly chosen Joey Fatone, a former N'Snyc member, to host their karaoke game show The Singing Bee. In the show, contestants will have to sing to songs as the lyrics and music disappear. This news comes days after NBC rushed the show to July 10th after FOX announced their clear ripoff show, Don't Forget the Lyrics, was also rushed to air on July 11th. Whose Line is it Anyway? cast member Wayne Brady will host FOX's edition. Any thoughts on this host casting? I've stated my opinions about Wayne Brady, but I will admit he seems to have boat loads more

Ratings Update: 6/23/2007
The ratings have been updated for 1 VS 100, Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, and the probably series finale of National Bingo Night (what a shame......). NBC should look at how reruns of 1 VS 100 is winning its time slot, especially if Singing Bee fails. The ratings page can be found at the top right section of our new

Tim Vincent Hosts “Millionaire” Next Week
The co-hosts aren't done just yet. One of our favorite stat sites, WWTBAM.Biz, has announced that Tim Vincent, an Access Hollywood correspondent, will host the final week of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? for the season, starting June 25th. Don't know who he is? Don't worry, not many do. I'm worried and here's the main reason: He was the original host for GSN's Chain Reaction. If they passed on him for Dylan Lane, that scares me a
