More Crossword Extras...

[TheInquisitiveOne]

Evening everyone!

So I'm looking around the web and such, and read an article from Broadcasting and Cable.

Crosswords will be available for the PS2 (trademarks be damned), Nintendo DS, and (as you know) XBOX Live arcade, the former two in the fall of 2009. A DVD board game will also be available.

The same magazine has stated that MGC will see a second year on syndication. Broken as the format is, I am cool with this. I can deal (pun noted, not intended) with an hour strip of this show and a more sedate format of DoND next fall. I am sure my NBC affiliate in the Chicagoland area will do just that.

Thoughts?

/I used the search to make sure this was not mentioned before. Advanced apologies if it has.
//for more on the console aspect, go to the Program Partners website.

I don't see where the article says a second year in syndication is happening.  I just read a board game is coming in the fall.

A board game version of MGC? It's already been done -- called "Scrabble".

I am quite surprised that it's not on the web, but I actually read the article while at my TV station.

Also, I think the last sentence from the article I linked implied it...(paraphrased) In it's first year in syndication, Crossowrds has been cleared in 90% of all markets.

As always, I can be wrong.

All that says is it got a lot of clearance in its first year. Says nothing whatsoever about a second.
