Still, three hours between J! and Wheel just feels wrong.
[/quote]
Try living in Chicago. J! at 3:30 and Wheel at 6:30. I've known it to be that way since as long as I've been around, and both shows were probably there long before I was born. Oddly enough,though, not too many game shows, if any, have been slotted in that 3 hour lull, even though Oprah airs at 9am.

Would be nice to get a new set this upcoming season.

In the J! press release for S25, they said they were building a "state-of-the-art set featuring the latest in electronic equipment" for the ToC. Maybe they'll use some of those set pieces back in CA.

/The checkerboard set still looks awesome 17 years later
White Men Can't Jump came on TV the other day, and after watching the Jeopardy! scene, I wonder if that set could easily be converted to being HD friendly.

When us Indianans in my area didn't observe DST, Wheel was at 6:30 when we were on Central, and J! lead-in TPIR at 10:30 (they tape-delayed Price and kept it at 11).  J! did eventually go to 3:30, paired with Hollywood Squares for the last couple of years.

Where I come from, three *minutes* between J! and Wheel feels wrong. :)

What about the Big Money wedge?  I thought they were tossing that as well.

Also, I found out yesterday that WREX is moving Jeopardy! back an hour to 3:30.  Presumably to give "The Doctors" a cleaner time slot (4-5) against Oprah, and it also completes the game show block they're building with Millionaire, TP, and Deal.
[/quote]
Yes, and yes. As I mentioned a while ago, a double run of Millionaire starts Monday. but since TP doesn't come until the 22nd, they're back-to-back in the 2:00 hour until then. Speaking of which...

Millionaire: Biggest changes. Graphics are slick. There's the clock, and the categories. 15 seconds a question on the first tier, with ATA, PAF, and DD given; 30 on tier 2 with ATE added. The expert shows up on Skype-sponsored videophone. For the phone-a-friend, when the player asks for it, they show on-screen their three PAFs along with a photo and town of residence, and we see the photo while the friend is on the line. Coming out of a commercial, they introduced the contestant waiting in the wings while the first player was still in the hot seat. A clock-runout is a walk, not a loss.

Small update on D.C. -- WJLA (for a week or so, I guess) will be exiling MGC to 2:35 a.m. next week once its rights to WWTBAM begin on Monday. After Sept. 11, I don't see Crosswords on at all.

When does TP begin? I don't see it on any DC or Balt schedule for the next 14 days.

At first when I heard of these changes I wasn't too thrilled.  Millionaire has worked for nearly a decade the way it was, why change it?  But now that the new season is almost on our doorstep, I'm actually looking forward to this.  If it ends up boosting the ratings (which I'm sure is one of the main reasons behind this), then that's a good thing.

At the eleventh hour the My Network affiliate here in St. Louis has added 'Feud' at 9AM in the morning. ABC-30 dropped it in favor of 'Deal' at 10PM. No 'Trivial Pursuit' though.

Thats nothing new. This may be of dubious distinction, but six years ago this market started the new season without 'Feud', 'Pyramid','Hollywood Squares' or 'Millionaire' on any station. Given the markets history I was truly surprised we got 'Crosswords' and 'Temptation' last year.

The 22nd. It should show up on future online lineups starting tomorrow.

With this being season 10 for Feud, anyone know if they're doing anything to commemorate the season?

They'll double the points?

Seriously, though.  I have my doubts.  The show doesn't get all that much promotion as it is.

Season ten. So it's now lasted longer than the original incarnation. Who'd a thunk it?

Oddity in Seattle:  KIRO (CBS-7) has a double run of Feud (previously on KMYQ (MyTV-22, 10 on cable)) listed for 9 - 10 AM starting tomorrow.  Since the TP:AP website lists their show @ 9 AM on KIRO, at least half of the Feud double run will presumably last just a couple of weeks.

Oddity 2: While Zap2It shows the double run of Millionaire on KONG (IND-16, 6 on cable) in last year's time slot of 6 - 7 PM, the Millionaire website still lists the previous time slot of 7 - 8 PM.  Or are they changing?  Guess I'll find out when I get home from work tomorrow and see I've taped an episode of "EXTRA." (>8={)

/2:30p is still too good for it.
