Anybody know what their taping schedule is like? I haven't been able to find one online, but I'd like to confirm my odds.

In all honesty, I can’t see Daytime Deal going the same route as Weakest Link (2 seasons and done). But it could happen. And with the TCA’s a month away and Pyramid is itching to come back, I would scramble and quick.

Adapting the British set (very dark, mood-setting, entire audience right behind the contestant), money tree ($250,000 is still quite a bit of money), Banker style (unseen whatsoever), and returning-contestant policy would definitely help the show.

One of the contentions I have with the American syndicated format is the fact that it has a separate "backup" contestant for all 22 on-stage ones, and the fact that each week is self-contained. The British version, by comparison, has had contestants there for weeks at a time before they're called to "take the walk of wealth" — and in the meantime have grown relationships with their fellow players, host Noel Edmonds, and even the Banker himself (and, in the two episodes I've seen in full, the group is very much like a family).

And that, instead of self-contained weeks, is what the American version needs. Now, I perfectly understand that despite these changes DOND may still end up canned — but none can deny that adopting the British style would let it walk onward toward Cancellation City with its head held high.

Hence, Season 2 feels exactly like Season 1. No set changes or anything makes the audience think that perhaps the show never moved at all….or, like Crosswords, went into endless repeats.

To me, it's not that big of a deal outside of those who live in the Waterbury, CT area and some game show buffs

About the format: I agree about the "it's been done". I just don't find myself interested in the show now. But what can DonD do to return interest in the show? How do you bring back the people who have been turned off?
