We might be on the road to our second one-and-gone game show of the season. National Bingo Night scored a 3.7/7 on its debut. That’s about a point to a point and a half worse than Show Me the Money’s final episode. If the show survives another episode or two I will be amazed. They will do better with a rerun of Grey’s Anatomy reruns, and I can’t even stand the show. You know, I won’t gloat about how I and others were right about this show’s failure, but did ABC actually think Bingo would be popular? We expect a cancelation notice within the next few days. If not, I’ll be utterly shocked.

I know people have to get angry with me constantly mentioning this, but I will just never understand why they won’t bring back Super Millionaire. They apparently want a game show. Every single Deal or No Deal clone has bombed. Millionaire wasn’t blowing the socks off of the ratings when it came back three years ago, but it easily helds its own and would probably do better before 10PM ET. There’s a reason 1 VS 100 and Fifth Grader have been successful: they are rather different from each other. If TV executives haven’t realized it yet, I’ll say it loudly: THE CLONES AREN’T WORKING. They should have learned during the Millionaire era. If they need a game show, bring back the most reliably high rated game show around. You’ll get more praise than hell from people, trust me.
