And yet, somehow, it didn't work.

If indeed On The Cover was canned after only 2 shows, PAX has more serious finnancial problems than I reailized.  YIKES!

It did last twice as long as "You're in the Picture." Perhaps a lower-profile timeslot (say, early fringe) would have been better for the show.

Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

And if OTC doesn't come back, it would be the shortest-lived show of the present era (since 1999) of prime time games, surpassing the one-week run (five episodes) of Fox's It's Your Chance of a Lifetime in 2000.

Wasn't Billy Bush's "Let's Make A Deal" pulled after 2 weeks?

I did see where OTC will return, this time with "Balderdash" in July.

Where did you see that? I just checked PAX's schedule, and July is completely blank.

UPDATE: I perused GSN's message board and via Mark W thru Itiparanoid, OTC will "re-premiere" in July along with Balderdash. This more than likely means the show must've pulled terrible numbers during its first two airings.

 He does - my bowling buddy told me the same thing, and coming from the man who told me that Peter Marshall hosted the Match Game, I definitely believe him.

   It was axed after three weeks. It's Your CoaL lasted a week (but five episodes aired).

Mark didnt say what the ratings or anything were like.  All he told me was that it will be back in July.

OTC is taking a brief break from taping... just a week or 2... to enhance the look of the set and make some other changes we can discuss later. The show will re-debut in July.

So then this 2 episode shot was just a test drive, eh?

Eh, felt like a Saturn to me.  Good in it's own right, but not even CLOSE to drool-inspiring, as some models are.

 One wonders what "terrible" means when it comes to PAX ratings.  :-o

If what Randy says is true, that makes me feel better about On The Cover.

I wonder why they decided to show it NOW rather than wait untill July to pair it up with Balderdash?

 ENHANCE the set?! The set is the least of the show's problems.

I say make the set circular, have arena seating, and add a few trap doors. That should work :-)
