TV Land, the place for TV hits or something or other now, greenlit a pilot for a new game show with some old school roots.  The show is called, for now, What’s in the Box?, and it’s literally as simple as it comes.  Something’s in a box.  Teams compete and ask up to 20 questions [...]

We normally don’t post schedule updates unless it’s something major.  This is major.  GSN is doing some extreme shuffling and pulling some shows out of their vault, including a newer one that I think I’m the only one that likes it.  Be prepared, it’s a lot.  All of these are effective March 31st at 9AM [...]

Not to be remotely jingoistic, but hopefully we’ll get some American news soon.  However, I’m sure some of you will enjoy some news and pictures about the new Australian revival of the hit show Gladiators.  Seems like they are going for an even more British route than we did.  However, a large amount of their [...]

Of all shows that could come back in recent times, for some reason this one I never figured.  There are talks that Channel 7, an Australian television station, is bringing back the hit quiz show Weakest Link.  While it’s still going strong in England, it fizzled out practically everywhere else.  A possible host is Gretel [...]

*FOX wasn’t lying about the Human Tetris Japanese show remake of Hole in the Wall, were they?  We’ve got a casting notice now.  It seems like, oddly enough, they are taping in Australia.  For [...]

Edit:  We’ve got a video of the set.  Click here.
An audience member who wishes to remain anonymous sent us a look into the rules of CBS’s new bastardization of a classic: Million Dollar Password. I’ve already started off negatively because they really, really screwed up the show. Not nearly as bad as something [...]

We had our second millionaire in the three episodes of Drew Carey’s $1,000,000 episodes of The Price is Right.  And by this point all I’m saying is, “I really don’t care anymore.”

Congratulations for him on winning.  But it’s getting a bit insane.  I really rarely watch The Price is Right when it’s on; I have [...]

Before I head out for roller derby, we have a return date for Duel.  ABC’s site suggests it’s coming back on Friday, April 4th, at 9PM ET for ten Fridays.  Did we finally ditch the tournament format.  I’d also love to know why ABC renewed a horribly low rated game show.  However, just fix some [...]
