Alrighty, I'm gonna ask for a slight favor.

Can someone put up some highlights of the shows tonight? I just tried with three different antennas on three different tvs to attempt to get my MyNetwork affiliate with zero luck.

Someone probably will, but I can probably give screenshots easily, since I have a TV card (though I know I'm not the only one)

The genre hasn't looked this optimistic in a LONG time.

I dunno, a few months ago when we were first talking about daytime Deal and Joker's Wild along with these felt more optimistic, although it was probably optimism in the sense that there were so many shows, at least one of them had to be good.

When I say "optimistic", I mean in terms of quantity AND quality. From the previews I've seen, and reports I've read, the producers of both new shows GET IT, and that's all I ask.

Even the primetime shows are starting to look good. The shows that shouldn't make it get canceled ("Show Me the Money", "Set For Life"), and the ones that deserve timeslots get them ("Singing Bee", "Power of 10"). There's some that are okay, but I still have problems with ("Are You Smarter...", "Don't Forget..."), but with a little fine-tuning, could be watchable IMODO.

I'm just happy to see some balance with the genre. Endemol's efforts from 2005-07 (except for "1 vs. 100") really scared me, in terms of the future of game shows. With the recent primetime efforts not called "Set for Life", and the syndicated stuff (even "Feud"), the genre looks its best in a long time.

Quick question....is Feud starting its new season on 9/10? I was just double-checking Zap2It and it doesn't have a "NEW" tag on either run.

EDIT: I have no friggin' idea why this is here...it should be in the "Fall Skeds" topic.
