No one can censor us with this one: according to Broadcasting & Cable, Roger King’s two new shows, “The Joker’s Wild” and The Other One are not being taken to NATPE 2007.  Reasons?  He says the lack of right time periods.  This is a bit confusing counting that three shows were just announced recently.  What I’m going to believe is that they don’t feel that the two shows can compare or that it’s just not worth the cost.  Either one, so who knows.  Roger King says they are reassessing “The Joker’s Wild” and The Other One.  He says we may see them in January of next year, but we’ll have to see about that.

Now what I’ve wanted to type for a bit: there’s a reason we aren’t using “The Joker’s Wild”’s companion by name.  Recently “people close to the show” tried to get us to change and/or pull the original article saying that the shows were dead from our site.  We refused.  The reason we refused is that this is not the first time this is happened.  The creator of The Other One wanted us to pull an article nearly a year ago where we said hiring Todd Newton to host “The Price is Right” would be one of the worst decisions possible.  Again, this was OUR opinion.  He wanted us to pull the article because it might hurt his feelings.  We were just forming and didn’t want any bad blood, so we agreed.  We thought that the most recent attempt was just plain pathetic and an attempt to stroke the ego of someone’s show which did not make it.  This is the honest to whatever god you believe in truth of what happened, and we were a bit hurt, upset, and angered by the situation.  We felt we needed to state this publicly.
But hey, look at the great shows we have for 2007!  “Temptation(s)” is coming, and I know you all will love it.  We might see either “Catch Phrase” or “Connections” plus another three were just announced.  And we’re so confused about “Deal or No Deal” right now we don’t know what’s going to happen.  Be on the lookout as this week is NATPE, and everything will be announced right here on BuzzerBlog!
