[quote name=\'brianhenke\' post=\'235426\' date=\'Feb 4 2010, 02:42 PM\']With such a downgrade in time slots in a market like Cincinnati, it looks more and more like DonD will not be back in any form (network or syndie) come this fall.[/quote]I don't think it was getting renewed, even if Cincinnati was putting it up against and crushing Jeopardy.
For my money, the show was never able to hit the sweet spot. The primetime show had awful pacing and way out of whack money. The daytime show had an excellent game board, but they dragged at the beginning and went way too fast at the end, not allowing the viewer to savor what should be the good parts.
I will not need a drink to cry into when Deal or No Deal is no longer in first-run episodes.
