WTF?

Not only did I see the first of those Game Show Moments specials on VH-1 last night (Thursday) in the wee hours. Now I see an episode from the repurposed NBC show will be repurposed back onto NBC... tonight (Friday). Can ratings for these specials be THAT good? Certainly there's no cheaper hour of TV to re-run except for the old Indian Head test pattern. Still, I don't get it.

But let's hope a bunch of new network game shows go into production, even if for no other reason than to create clips for future "Moments" specials.

You may have an outdated TV listing. TitanTV.com shows that NBC is reairing the final episode of FRASIER followed by a 1:55 DATELINE tonight (USA TODAY's TV grid also reflects such).

Doug -- and the countdown to 500 continues

To borrow a line once said about ABC by the late great Alan King, the schedule changes so much "they are listed in TV Guide in pencil!"

These days, they're outsourcing and teaching the 5 and 6 year olds overseas to write "Various programs".....

I guess we'll find out at 8ET/PT.

Nice use of the ® symbol, though.

Go to NBC.com . It sounds like a spur of the moment decision to re-run the series finale of Fraiser instead of MOGSM.
