Amne$ia cancelled

First story, left-hand column. Apparently Dennis broke the news himself on Friday.

Too bad. The game seemed promising in its pre-debut promos, but it was just not executed well...based on the ratings, we all probably knew this was coming.

And "My Dad..." also seems to be cancelled, though that part seems tacked onto the article as an afterthought.

The finale of Amne$ia was supposed to be this coming Friday.  With just one show left to go anyway, I wish they'd go ahead and run it.  But they'll probably get antsy and substitute something else that won't do any better.

Another show I watched and enjoyed regularly, gone.

Yet Moment of Truth remains on the air. Rackem-frackem.

Dear Mark Burnett, please consider shopping this one for daytime syndication...it has a lot of potential.

Second!

And when you do...please work out a better system of revealing correct answers than Dennis Miller holding a stuffed animal slightly out of the camera shot and saying, "No, sorry, this isn't your mousie."

NBC's official online schedule (also on TVGuide.com) says that the Amne$ia finale is airing as scheduled tonight, as a lead-in to the Miss USA pageant.

It is a darn shame this isn't continuing.  There is gobs of potential.

Helluva note that NBC, instead of the usual "night of glamour and suspense" promos for Miss USA, is featuring a contestant falling and the wit and wisdom of Miss Teen South Carolina 2007--and that the selling point is seeing something embarrassing happen [Tom Bergeron] LIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVEEEE! [TB]

One would think that the producer wouldn't be happy--oh, it's Donald Trump.  Forget it.

No thanks.
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

You know a game show is good as dead when the last two aired episodes of this show, which featured the two highest winners ever on this show, both score series-low ratings. Again, as Monty Hall might say, "It's not how much money we give away, it's the way we do it".

How about you give us a break from your posts and offer some rebuttal to the well-deserved criticism that is handed to you?

You are absolutely the last person that should be saying this...telling Brandon to "give you a break" is absolutely ridiculous.
