Oh it was sarcasm.  Read this statement out loud: And apparently it's a hard role for him to play if his Wiki bio is any indicator...he is a dancer and has to fight the urge to get out of the wheelchair.  Really, read that out loud and try to not find something sarcastic to say about this fact.

I wouldn't find the need to in the first place. It was unnecessary and I didn't appreciate it.

That's a shame.

That's a shame.

For whatever you find it to be worth, I'm right there with you on every count.

In Philly, the game show lineup is pretty much the same as last year except for the addition of Celebrity Name Game Thursdays and Fridays from 8 to 9, Saturdays at 10:30 and Sundays from 9 to 10.

Oops, my fault.  It looks like Millionaire and a rerun of Jeopardy! will be on at 2PM on WPVI, up against Steve Harvey.

Some of the ABC O&Os are experimenting with putting those two syndie games in the 2PM slot and moving General Hospital back to its old 3PM slot. Interesting strategy.

Who else besides NYC and Philly are doing that?

I noticed that in LA KABC finally jumped on the Millionaire train.

Nice apology.

Now THAT'S sarcasm.

Is this really worth getting so offended over? I thought it was pretty clear Dave was just making a little jab, not a personal attack.

If I did the same thing I doubt the same consideration would've been given. That's part of why I was offended.

And I really don't want to discuss this any further.

WTVD in Raleigh Durham seems to be the only other one specifically putting Millionaire and Jeopardy in that slot, but several others are still delaying General Hospital by an hour and putting other shows in its former slot.

Everyone check off "Taking his ball and going home" on the Palmer Bingo card.

What part of "I don't want to discuss this any further" was in a language other than English?

KABC seems to be doing that as well, except leaving GH where it was and plugging Terry and Alex in place of Katie.

And WLS airs Jeopardy in first run in the afternoon still, right?

Good for you. Let me know when you become a moderator, and I'll start letting you dictate what I post. Till then, cry me a river.

Enough. Move on.

1PM:      Celebrity Name Game -- KGJT



Not bad when you have the potential to watch up to 31 hours of game shows live every week.  But can one really stomach 10 hours of shows with unnecessary penis answers a week?

Am I the only one who thinks that the dick joke excuse is getting way too overblown and largely misused?

[jjman920]

Am I the only one who thinks that the dick joke excuse is getting way too overblown and largely misused?

Yes. It's hardly as bad as it was two years ago. Most of the funny things that made me laugh last season were dumb contestants and Steve's reactions thereafter. His overdrawn reactions is a conversation for another place and time.

Those can get a little annoying but I find them all part of the charm. The reactions that is. Dumb answers are always going to be what makes Feud the most fun to watch and they definitely have been having those lately.

What bugs me is the random judging that's been going on as to where certain things are accepted as similar where they wouldn't be before. That plus Steve rushes through a lot of things (does this a lot in Fast Money).
