FF will continue. Both Variety and Broadcasting & Cable have stories on the renewal today. It had been previously announced that a different distributor (Debmar-Mercury) would be handling syndication sales for the new season.

A posting on BuzzerBlog? PLEASE do not smear my site. We've built up a large fanbase, I don't need you destroying it. Some person left a comment and misunderstood the idea when Feud was sold. It was left in a tiny comment. It was not a post. Not a post. No writer put it up.

I am begging you, comments are there for the people to talk back and converse about news. They are not fact. We'll post news/rumors as actual posts and that is it. It was a comment and nothing more and I cannot stress that enough. I don't know how else to say it besides unless it's a major posting, it's not anything really. I just got back a few minutes ago and saw an IM about this. Apparently I got here at the right time and have some deletion to do.

Here's the comment from the main site in full...

"Name: Adam | E-mail: adamjk2005@yahoo.com | IP: XX.XX.XXX.XXX

Someone mentioned Fremantle losing Feud next year, does that mean it’s being canned?"

It's gone now and a little post to stop the people from what Paul up there just did for some bizarre reason is going up shortly.

Wow, just wow, Paul.

I wasn't involved in this forum really when he was around, so I have no idea who he is, but I've heard bad things. I didn't know if this was his email address or not, I should have checked.

Adam Kleist in a nutshell: "I believe everything I'm told unless it's from a legitimate source, I should be allowed to post anything I want even if it's irrelevant or incorrect, I don't have to pay attention to anything except my own posts, and it's always someone else's fault."

If you feel a compelling need to see the evidence for yourself, just go through the posts from "adamjk."

Please don't think I'm blaming you for not knowing him -- having dealt with him far too many times, it's probably better that you don't.

I didn't think you were blaming me at all, but I always feel bad when things happen like this. I've done all I can to keep stuff like this from happening while keeping the non-censored comment option, which I am still keeping, and I hate to think that anything can tarnish what is a pretty good record Buzzer has after about a year. However, it's been taken care of, he's banned from the site by IP.

Once NATPE is over, I'll tell you all why this has been just about the worst hour I've ever had on Buzzer.

Wow. In the world of TV News, that's a helluva tease.

Not to get all weird about this, but I'm not sure I'm all that thrilled with the tone of YOUR post about this back on Buzzer:

Quote

someone on a popular message boards thought that whenever something is posted as a COMMENT, it’s the truth.

I really don't think that's what happened here at all. The OP simply saw a comment which someone posted (a fair word) on your site. He told us where he saw it, which is something we always like people to do, and rather than considering it "truth", he asked whether it was true.

Paul's already apologized for an imprecise choice of words, but the difference between a posted comment and a posting (as well as the difference between attributing something to a site as opposed to the site's operators) seems in my mind to fall quite a bit short of the indignity indicated by your comments.

Meanwhile, even outside our borders, Adam continues to haunt us all...

itiparanoid13 · « **Reply #9 on:** January 11, 2007, 09:44:56 PM »

I think the main reason I got excited was for

A- A situation we had before

B- This has happened before. Not on these boards, but at other places. I've just been getting sick of it.

I do see what you mean and agree. Again, emotions at the time. If Paul reads this, I do apologize for my tone.

Holy friggin moly. Jumping jahorsafat...

To Alex: I think one of my comments started this mess. If it did, good lord, I didn't mean it as whoever took it. When I made the comment, in the TJW/CL basically dead story, that Fremantle was losing FF next year, I didn't mean it was going off the air. I knew Debnar-Mercury acquired the rights to it, I just meant that FF will not be associated with Fremantle anymore. Lordsy, however could my comment be taken so wrong...

BTW, I just noticed an Adam posted a remark in the comment about FF not being cancelled. I have no idea who this Adam is, but apparently, he's not a popular guy around these parts. I can understand why now...

Again, my apologies, somebody didn't read what I said correctly...

Jimmy Owen · « **Reply #11 on:** January 11, 2007, 10:16:48 PM »

Wait a sec. Fremantle is still the production company for FF. They just assigned the syndication rights to Debmar-Mercury from Tribune.

Just a little background on Debmar-Mercury. One of the execs. is Mort Marcus, who had previously been with such syndicators as Buena Vista, Colex and Samuel Goldwyn. So while the company is relatively new, stations are familiar with Mr. Marcus.

Well, I wouldn't say lost. It's been reported a few times (on this board) that Feud's renewed to 2008.
