Omigod, All New 3's a Crowd is back? Well, it could be worse. Extreme Gong and Love Buffet could awaken from the dead. By far the worst move from my point of view.
Not surprising to see KvS go. When it lost the prime time slot, the clock was ticking. No regrets from me. I thought the two frozen northerners were just boring.
I've heard good things about Hollywood Showdown but never seen the show. I'll try to catch it. Mr. Sajak will be happy that WoF's exposure is cut back.
Dodgeball's added exposure is no surprise after GSN gurgled about its ratings performance in the TCA press release. Hey, Mr. Steve, I like a lot of traditional shows but I like Dodgeball, too! Just wish I was one of those "younger viewers" you're always grousing about. Lordy, the Prof can do a real convincing imitation of a grumpy old man sometimes.
People will complain about LMAD, but this has always been one of my least favorite classics. Pure dumb luck has never been my idea of an engrossing show, no matter how many costumes and zonks they used to disguise the essential randomness of the gameplay. I am not sorry at all to see it go, and I realize this is heresy.
Do not like Card Sharks at all. I've caught untold grief for this, but the much more interesting gameplay on the Blackjack shows makes the higher-lower proceedings look brainless. But at least the Jim Perry fans, so vocal around the Internet, will be happy.
Street Smarts, with the huge number of eps in the library, looks like the all-round timeslot-holder for GSN right now. I like the show so it's nice to see the added exposure, though I think it will only be temporary.
MG 90? An okay version. No strong feelings one way or the other.
Star Search keeps getting shoved to earlier and earlier timeslots. The TCA press releases didn't breathe a word about the show, so my guess is its days are numbered. When a show gets infomercials for a lead-in, the prognosis ain't great. Unless it's Perry CS, maybe.
