I have to tell you, for the most part, this season’s Deal or No Deal gimmicks have been fantastic.  They really change the game into something new and exciting, like Winner Takes All.  Of course not all are hits, like the Million Dollar Mission.  However, I think this one’s going to be a hit: Deal’s [...]

Has anyone else been extremely disappointed with this year’s syndicated offerings? They are both severely lacking, especially Temptation, and if we see any last a season, let alone past January, I’ll be amazed. Luckily next season we might have a very interesting syndication front. Three popular game shows are being worked out [...]

I went to a message board a bit ago and stumbled upon this.  In short, some poor lady only won $50,000 after having horrible luck, and she was informed that they would not air her show because it wasn’t exciting or good enough to kick off a new season with.  This is probably the most [...]
