[quote name=\'TheInquisitiveOne\' date=\'Jun 19 2003, 07:50 PM\'] (1) Bob Barker will go ahead and host The Price is Right until the contract expires.
[/quote]
Well, of course.
--- Quote ---(2) Another Game Show Week will take place on Hollywood Squares' final season. (I do not know if it has been confirmed, thus my reason for posting it here.)
--- End quote ---
I don't imagine we'll know when the final season is until they announce it's not being renewed.
--- Quote ---(3) With the success of Big Bucks: The Press Your Luck Scandal, GSN will produce more documentaries within the next year and a half.
--- End quote ---
Probably. A Thom McKee show wouldn't need to be more than an hour, but could be interesting...
--- Quote ---(4) If Allen Ludden were alive, he would have been tapped to host Super Password instead of Bert Convy.
--- End quote ---
Assuming he was coherent enough to do a good job, it would be no less than an insult to give the job to anyone else.
--- Quote ---(5) Jim Perry is still with us.
--- End quote ---
Unless there was a folding couch incident I didn't hear about...
--- Quote ---(6) Drew Carey was the right choice to host Pepsi's Play for a Billion.
--- End quote ---
Insofar as this ridulous show shouldn't even be on the air, Carey is as good a choice as anyone.
--- Quote ---(7) (I hope this is true) Should Rod Roddy be unable to continue his anouncing duties on TPiR, Randy West will be chosen as the permanent replacement.
--- End quote ---
I won't speculate for two reasons: 1) I have no idea, and 2) I wouldn't dream of jinxing Randy.
--- Quote ---(8) Another format alteration will be made on Wheel of Fortune this fall.
--- End quote ---
Who cares?
--- Quote ---(9) Within the next decade, Password will return in some form.
--- End quote ---
Nope. Too slow a game. Unless GSN tries it, and they don't seem to be too hot on the idea of resurrecting good games, when they can dump crap on people's heads, keep them awake, drop them through holes, or screw them out of money.
--- Quote ---(10) From Justin to Kelly will be the biggest movie bomb on this side of The Real Cancun.
--- End quote ---
Woof. I've seen smaller dogs in the Swiss Alps.

[quote name=\'Game Show Man\' date=\'Jun 19 2003, 11:13 PM\'] FACT This already looks like grade-A, number one, USDA Choice CRAP. I still can't believe these two nincompoops actually agreed to this slop. [/quote]
Oh, believe it, my friend. The second that Ruben Whatshisnutz won the second series, both of the 15-minute clocks on those two idiots went screaming right past 14:45 and right into the homestretch. Particularly Guarini, who is only avoiding asking people if they Would Like Fries With That because Clarkson is too nice to tell him to FOAD and take losing like a man.
dmota104:
(1) FACT. Hosting's still the highlight of his day.
(2) Mmm... unless they get Peter Marshall in the center square again, I'd say fiction.
(3) FACT! Love to see A&E Biography-like profiles of Tom Kennedy, Bill Cullen and Bert Convy. Which leads us to...
(4) 300% FACT! Folks like Tom, Bill and Bert did great in hosting \"Password\" (and IIRC, Betty White and Monty Hall have guest-hosted the ABC version). But, when you think \"Password\", you think of Allen.
(5) FACT. There was a thread a couple of years ago on The Daily Ping noting CS was one of the webmasters favorite shows. June Perry (\"Mrs. Jim\") dropped by for a few posts.
(6) No comment. The way I've read it, it's too reliant on luck -- much like a lottery game show. No matter what, PfaB is going to be a one-shot deal (unless they're daring to put *another* billion at stake).
(7) Again, no comment. Let's hope Rod's well. I'll agree with anyone Randy's doing great in his substitute stint.
(8) FACT. Can't predict what, though.
(9) Pyramid's successful return to the air provides some hope this will become FACT. While I hope \"the phoenix shall rise again\" (direct quote from Betty in the SP finale), \"Password\" seems low on the list of FreMantle's priorities.
(10) All I'l say is this... \"Dreadful\"

--- End quote ---
FACT Mr. Barker will be there most likely through another contract as well.
--- Quote ---(2) Another Game Show Week will take place on Hollywood Squares' final season.
--- End quote ---
FICTION as much as we love them the closest we might get would be a clasic HS stars week...
--- Quote ---(3) With the success of Big Bucks: The Press Your Luck Scandal, GSN will produce more documentaries within the next year and a half.
--- End quote ---
FACT this is a no brainer for GSN, if they don't they should change their name to Sony Play Station (rimshot)
--- Quote ---(4) If Allen Ludden were alive, he would have been tapped to host Super Password instead of Bert Convy.
--- End quote ---
FICTION as much as I think he would have been a great host, I don't think NBC would have seen it that way...
--- Quote ---(5) Jim Perry is still with us.
--- End quote ---
FACT
--- Quote ---(6) Drew Carey was the right choice to host Pepsi's Play for a Billion.
--- End quote ---
FACT for now, gotta give the host the benifit of the doubt...
--- Quote ---(7) Should Rod Roddy be unable to continue his anouncing duties on TPiR, Randy West will be chosen as the permanent replacement.
--- End quote ---
FACT for now, if they were sure in their choice of Burton why would they even give Randy a shot?
--- Quote ---(8) Another format alteration will be made on Wheel of Fortune this fall.
--- End quote ---
FACT it happens every year, something will change...
--- Quote ---(9) Within the next decade, Password will return in some form.
--- End quote ---
FACT heck I'll say it'll happen with in 3 years, with the baby boomers who grew up with it aging might as well go retro to try and catch the market.
--- Quote ---(10) From Justin to Kelly will be the biggest movie bomb on this side of The Real Cancun.
--- End quote ---
FICTION it'll have a good first weekend because of its American Idol tie in, enough to not be a total bomb.
And that's the way I see it...

PeterMarshallFan:
1) Fact, 'nuff said. He'll be 100 years old and still hosting.
2) Shaky FACT, although from what I've heard John Davidson might be our retro host the next time....I can't help but think Jm J. and Joan will be back if he does do it again....
3) FACT. Let's see our Cullen documentary already!
4) Likely fiction. To be honest, I think he would have looked a little out of place w/ the modern SP set.
5) FACT
6) FICTION. I would have picked Geoff personally, but that's just me....
7) FACT!!!!
8) I got a feeling that's a FACT.
9) No idea. We were supposed to get a new MG this year, and that didn't happen. Looks like Freemangle is gonna focus on Feud and AI (see below)
10) FACT FACT FACT!!!
