Yes, we’ve finally updating the ratings page. Honestly, a few weeks ago, there turned out to be so many shows and ratings coming in, and I was always gone and so busy, that it was impossible for me to keep up. But we seem to have slowed down a bit and we’ll try to keep it up to date. We restarted to trim the page down, and right now showing is the sadly low rated (because of competition) debut of American Gladiators along with a lot of syndicated ratings.

The Ratings are Updated!
There’s a very small schedule change on GSN soon. Starting on May 27th, a Tuesday, Card Sharks (Perry) will air at 1:00PM ET daily and Match Game will be at 1:30PM ET. It was the other way around before.
The lack of news had me wondering if NBC’s celebrity primetime series of Family Feud was going to happen, but apparently it’s going ahead. Tickets to see the show are available for May 31st, June 1st, and June 7th. This is part of NBC’s All American Summer. Click here to get tickets. Speaking of the All American Summer, American Gladiators is on its last legs. It only got a 2.9/5 in its highly publicized debut last night.
Quick update on the show Opportunity Knocks that was discussed a little bit ago. ABC announced it will officially be part of their Fall 2008 schedule. It will air Tuesdays at 8:00PM ET.
If you’re a fan of Shokus Internet Radio and the Shu Shostak show, you might know he often has famous classic game show personalities. On Wednesday, May 14th, Tom Kennedy, host of Split Second, Name That Tune, and You Don’t Say among others, will be stopping by at 4:00PM PT. Stu will be talking with Tom about his career as well as taking questions from callers and emails. Click here to listen.
Good news on the Bingo America front: the at-home contest is truly legit. I just got my $50 check in the mail today (I won on the premiere episode, 3/31. If only I won the next day…). If you won, too, it’s time to start looking for an envelope labeled “Promotional Consideration.”
ABC has updated their The Mole website to actually have some content and videos. Take a look by clicking here. Can you spot any clues yet? Always be on the lookout. We’ll be having more Mole coverage, plus a little finding-the-Mole game, when the time comes.

“Gong Show” Debut Date
As we already know, Comedy Central has been casting for the revival of The Gong Show hosted by Dave Attell. The show now has a debut date of July 17th and is being produced by Adam Sandler’s production company Happy Madison as well as Identity’s executive producer Andrew Golder.
This one went by us somehow. The syndicated version of Deal or No Deal is going to start taping for its September 2008 debut at the end of May. The first taping will be on May 29th at 2:00PM ET. Click here to get your tickets. If you can go there, be sure to tell us because we’d love to know how it goes.
We may have stumbled upon the debut date for GSN’s “alleged” new original Catch-21, which is indeed taking the name from an online game on GSN.com. We are being told that it comes out Monday, July 21st, but we don’t have a time slot yet. Also, we made a minor mistake in describing the end game. It seems you only need three 21s to win $25,000; not four as originally told. Whoops.
