“Crosswords” Changes from Chicago Auditions
Thanks to reader Tom Jetland who informed us of a few changes coming in some newer episodes of Crosswords taken from the Chicago auditions. First off, the cheap Crosswords Getaways are gone. So I'm sorry to depress you, but no more trips to the Holiday Inn, you know, the one down the street. Second, there are five Crosswords Extras involved, s

Playmania Cancelled
Following the October 31st edition of Playmania/Quiznation, the show will be no more as GSN has cancelled what used to be a really good show. The show really started to slip when they decided that doing pretty much 3 games a show was better than 10 games a show. This transition happened after the Goddess Mel Peachey left the show back in April.

Ratings Update
The ratings page has been updated for the past week. Sorry for the lack of Fifth Grader ratings; we've been having issues finding them. There has been good news for Deal, though. The ratings have been steadily increasing and if it can keep this up, it looks like we'll see a fourth primetime series. Singing Bee is on its last legs, though. It

“Nothing But the Truth” Canceled in Columbia
Just remember as you read this: FOX wouldn't pick up Without Prejudice? because they thought asking people questions and getting their opinions on things was too racy. The home country of FOX's new game show The Moment of Truth, Columbia, has canceled the shows after a contestant wanted $25,000 so badly that she admitted to putting a hit on her h

CBS Posts “Price is Right” Clip on YouTube
We're really getting you excited for the Drew Carey edition of The Price is Right hopefully. Today we're giving you a clip CBS provided us and placed on YouTube. It shows the set, Drew, and the game in action. Watching it will give the more, uh, "traditional" fans a bit of relief. I don't think there has been this much excitement about a new

CBS Brings Back “Password” in Million Dollar Form
I'm not a big classics fan. I really enjoy the more modern shows to the old rusty ones. However, there are three shows which I really adore from the old days: Pyramid (Not Donny Osmond's version), Match Game, and Password. A long time ago we first reported that a remake of Password was in the works, which excited us. However, we just got thre

Syndie “Deal or No Deal” to Have 22 Cases
Short update, but we just got word that the syndicated edition of Deal or No Deal, debuting across the nation in Fall 2008, will have 22 cases. Could we potentially go UK route, especially since we have some future contestants holding cases? We might actually be able to save this show after all.

USA Today Talks to Carey about “Price is Right”
Have I ever told you how excited I am, as a person who's not really that much of a fan of The Price is Right, to have Drew Carey hosting it (who I am a fan of)? I have? William Keck of USA Today published an interview with Mr. Carey today, and it made me even more excited. You can read it here. The spark notes version: Power of 10 is sticki

“Power of 10″ in the Running for Syndication
Has anyone else been extremely disappointed with this year's syndicated offerings? They are both severely lacking, especially Temptation, and if we see any last a season, let alone past January, I'll be amazed. Luckily next season we might have a very interesting syndication front. Three popular game shows are being worked out for syndication,

Endemol/NBC Cherry-Picks Episodes of “Deal or No Deal” to Air
I went to a message board a bit ago and stumbled upon this. In short, some poor lady only won $50,000 after having horrible luck, and she was informed that they would not air her show because it wasn't exciting or good enough to kick off a new season with. This is probably the most idiotic thing I've ever heard in my life. How in the hell can
