“Match Game” Panel Announced
The new edition of TBS's Match Game is generating a lot of press already, isn't it? We already announced the first two panelists are the incredibly funny Norm Macdonald and Sarah Silverman. Joining them are Super Dave Osborne (Fake stunt man), Rashida Jones (The Office), Niecy Nash (Reno 911!/Fall 2008 FOX sitcom), and Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall). Shockingly they managed to get a funny, relatively well known cast that will probably make game show fans complain but the comedy community pretty happy. Let's see if they can keep it up if and when the series starts.

GSN’s “Bingo America” Renewed for Second Season + Gas Promoion
GSN's hit original series, Bingo America has been renewed for a second season. The interactive quiz show will have its new season in the Fall, so be on the lookout for more information as time comes. And I'd like to especially note that producers of the show have been reading here for viewer's input, so be sure to voice off and hopefully we can see some changes next season. Honestly, I was fine with the game play. The focus of the game is the at-home Bingo aspect so I'm not expecting any unbelievably groundbreaking game play, though something a bit more interesting would be welcomed. The presentation could really use some work, though. We get the point, host Patrick Duffy. You mark off the number when it's called. It doesn't take

BuzzerVision: Sneak Peek at “Celebrity Family Feud”
Sorry about the promised Celebrity Family Feud pictures. We had a few interesting developments for the show. First, we were invited to a conference call that took place on Tuesday. We'll get that up soon. But also we were supplied with a lot of clips and more of the new NBC primetime game show which is a spinoff of the popular syndicated edition hosted by John O'Hurley. Below is a video preview with the show's introduction, one face off, and a behind the scenes look. The set's stereotypical game show atire: dark, black, and blue. The classic theme does not work on this set at all and I'm a bit shocked that people are so attached to the past that they can't get with a simple thing like keeping a central theme. From what I've seen, ho

Two Celebrities Announced for “Match Game”
Edit: This is long enough to be a full post by now. It's being reported in a few places that the host of Match Game is former Mad-TV cast member and panelist of Comedy Central's CrossBalls, Andy Daly, is the host. We're waiting for official confirmation because this comes from a post on this forum, but it looks to be pretty set. Andy's a very fun person and was one of the few (very few) spots of light on the Mad TV cast, so I think he can definitely handle this. Plus he's really funny. And that's, you know, kinda needed for a comedy show. An audience casting notice for either a pilot or a regular taping of Match Game has appeared, and two of the featured celebrities are listed on it. The first two are actors/comedians Sarah Silverm

Updated Site Debuting Next Week
We're going to roll out an updated version of this site next week. Our primary issue was that this site crashes way too much and is unbelievably slow. This new one is a lot faster. We're trying to get some new features in as well, such as you being able to edit your comments as well as a few other time savers. The site's look is basically staying the same. Same red color scheme, we are keeping the smaller news feed here, and others. We're just trying to improve the quality of it. It looks a lot more slick in this new version. If you want any other features please tell me and I can try to see what the people who know how to work this thing can do about it.

“Catch-21″ Set Photos and Rules
GSN hasn't had anything in a while. This show seems like it could be a big player for them. Was it? I believe it is, but judge for yourself from the information given. It's multi-player blackjack with questions thrown in basically. A question is given; buzz in to answer. If you're right, you get a card which you can either keep or pass to an opponent. You can freeze if you want, protecting your point total, before you hit 21. The goal is to, as the title suggests, catch 21 before your opponents do to win the round. Highest total at the end also wins. If you bust, you're out of the round. Lowest score at the end of two rounds leaves the game, but the winner of the third round plays the end game for $25,000. You're dealt three h

FOX TV Shops “Family Trust”
Back in April I told you about a show having a pilot shot in Chile (for production costs) that's a mix of Family Feud and Jeopardy! which you can read about by clicking here. We finally received more information about it this morning. The pilot is from FOX TV and called Family Trust, which is changed from the original title of Gene Pool. Stand up comic (and an awesome one at that) Greg Fitzsimmons hosts it. “It's almost like an interview show where there is a game going on,” Fitzsimmons said. “The interaction within the family is really the story. The money and the game are almost secondary to getting to know the family and watching me needle them about themselves and each other.” The basis of the show, from the original casting noti

Weekend Replay: Aussie “Deal or No Deal”
We've been featuring foreign editions of Deal or No Deal a lot because, well, they are just a lot better than ours. That is at least until the syndie version if it's as good as people say it is. But I digress. Here's a great clip from a recent edition of Australian Deal or No Deal.

“GSN Live” Expands to Six Hours on July 28th
Pretty exciting and fun news from the GSN camp today which is much better than a cat game show. GSN Live, the network's daily live talk/interactive show during the commercials of some of your favorite classics, will be expanding to six hours starting on the week of July 28th. The show, hosted by Fred Roggin and Heidi Bohay, currently airs from noon to 3:00PM ET; it will extend to 6:00PM ET, cutting off before Russian Roulette. The show's been growing in popularity since it started and has seen many special guests like Wink Martindale, Rip Taylor, Tom Kennedy, and many more. From my view, GSN Live has drastically improved. The first few weeks were a bit rough as they were trying to figure out the style. However, I've seen a few recen
