It happened again, but this time, a lot more skillfully.  See what I mean.

We really need one of those “We Called It!” signs that The Colbert Report has.  One of our good friends from England, David Howell, recently got back from a taping of the revival of the The Rich List.  This new edition was taping on the English version set so we thank him greatly for going.  A lot of really big shocking information was given [...]

We’ve known about these for a while, but just for safety we’ll talk about it again.  GSN is planning a whole series of Play it Back: Game Shows marathons, celebrating different games from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.  Each Sunday night in September involves a different decade’s shows followed by a special hour long documentary about the best and funniest [...]

Sorry for no updates yesterday.  I was really busy and if one of our many writers doesn’t write anything beyond me, nothing shows up.  I’ll try to fix that.  But it’s been extremely slow regardless.  Valleycrest Productions provided us with a pictures of Who Wants to be a Millionaire’s new “Millionaire Menu”, though.  It’s similar to a picture we posted a [...]

Quick little blurb from Hollywood Junket.  Still no idea who the show is for, but at least for the pilot, the new competition/variety show Let Me Entertain You, Rossi Moreale is the host.  If you enjoy ritualistic abuse, you may remember him as the host of the newly canceled Temptation.  Maybe I’m missing something, but is there any great talent in Rossi that I’m not [...]

Valleycrest Productions provided us with a glimpse at the new Who Wants to be a Millionaire? question graphics, but we still have no idea about the new money chain graphics or anything else.  The question screen looks extremely nice, though.  Much better than any other I’ve seen.  As always, click on the thumbnails to expand.

A press release for the second season of GSN’s Bingo America came out tonight.  I have to be honest, even though I do like some of the changes, portions of it leave me confused.  We’ll get to that in a minute.  First off, reitterating what we said before, Richard Karn is the new host.  I [...]

New “Deal” Season Starts Tonight

Tonight’s a very important and interesting night for NBC.  Basically their sole savior regular series at this point, Deal or No Deal, returns at 8:00PM ET.  There are some special things coming along with it for the premiere, like an updated set, new look for the models, a “new” text at home game, but most [...]

GSN’s Website Needs Work

You know, of all people to be an asshole about a website’s content, I should probably be the last. If Wordpress wasn’t simple, I’d be clueless. I can write and that’s about it. However, GSN’s website, especially the show pages, are in shambles. There’s pictures of the new British version of [...]

Continuing our Weekend Replay of a preview of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?’s new lifelines which will be coming up on September 8th (check your local listings).  Replacing Fifty/Fifty is “Double Dip,” which is taken from ABC’s revival Super Millionaire.  In Double Dip, you can answer the question twice.  If the first answer you give is incorrect, you get [...]

We’ve been writing about Who Wants to be a Millionaire? and a lot of its changes the past few weeks.  One thing we keep mentioning is the new set of lifelines, Double Dip and Ask the Expert from ABC’s short revival called Super Millionaire.  I’ve gotten quite a few emails and comments asking what exactly does the lifeline do, and I [...]

I’m about to give you a lot of opinions which conflict what I’ve written over and over in other articles during this post.  First off, let’s get the facts straight.  Bingo America, GSN’s hit interactive game show, is coming back.  People are reading way too much into its removal from the schedule.  GSN still gives away money to home viewers during the [...]

Pilot for “Let Me Entertain You” Taping

England recently had a daytime variety show called Let Me Entertain You.  Basically it was a modern Gong Show.  A person stands on stage and tries to entertain the audience.  Audience members can hit a button to kick the act off, and when at least half hits the button, the act is gone.  Lasting one minute gets £100, two minutes is £200, and lasting [...]

We don’t write enough about Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader? here.  Partially because I still am not a fan of the show.  Partially because nothing interesting ever happens on it.  However, FOX is attempting to change that by throwing in a lot of celebrities this season.  I mean a lot.  We have famed game show winners, supermodels, Nobel laureate, and [...]

BBC One Picks Up “Wipeout”

Good news for all our friends from England.  BBC One has picked up the rights to producer an original version of my favorite show of the year, Wipeout.  It’s said to debut sometime in 2009 from Endemol.  Unlike in America, though, this version will be taping in Argentina where many international versions seem to be taping.  We’ve been seeing a lot of game shows in [...]

    Rossi Morreale Hosts “Let Me Entertain You”

    Quick little blurb from Hollywood Junket.  Still no idea who the show is for, but at least for the pilot, the new competition/variety show Let Me Entertain You, Rossi Moreale is the host.  If you enjoy ritualistic abuse, you may remember him as the host of the newly canceled Temptation.  Maybe I’m missing something, but is there any great talent in Rossi that I’m not seeing.  All I’m getting with him right now is, “Eh he’s good looking.  Women will watch.  Let’s get him.”  Maybe I’m wrong.

    GSN’s Website Needs Work

    You know, of all people to be an asshole about a website’s content, I should probably be the last. If Wordpress wasn’t simple, I’d be clueless. I can write and that’s about it. However, GSN’s website, especially the show pages, are in shambles. There’s pictures of the new British version of Pyramid instead of our current version, wrong dates and times for shows, and then we get to Lingo. This one tickled me; here’s the show’s description from GSN’s site: “Chuck and his Lady Luck Stacey keep the Lingo balls-a-bouncing as 2-person teams compete to guess a hidden word hinted at from letter clues.”  Confused about Stacey?  She was the show’s co-host about five years ago.  Not even remotely current.  They could really use a bit more organization and, you know, factual information.  They seem to spend more time deciding on a new design for their logo than fixing the pages.

    Pilot for “Let Me Entertain You” Taping

    England recently had a daytime variety show called Let Me Entertain You.  Basically it was a modern Gong Show.  A person stands on stage and tries to entertain the audience.  Audience members can hit a button to kick the act off, and when at least half hits the button, the act is gone.  Lasting one minute gets £100, two minutes is £200, and lasting 3 minutes wins £1,000.  Winners of each daily show come back for a weekly final.  It seems America’s getting their own version, as a pilot is being taped on the Jimmy Kimmel Live.  It’s a very entertaining show and I’d love to see it come over here.
