[quote name=\'uncamark\' date=\'May 20 2005, 03:21 PM\']WCIU in Chicago took it out of prime time at the beginning of the year. Both runs air back-to-back at 9 a.m. (they were running back-to-back at noon for a while). They're going to lose "CJ" at 7:30 p.m. (after that "Insider" show with what's-his-name) this fall, so there's a possibility "Feud" could come back, but I doubt it.
Karn seems like a nice guy, but I haven't seen any real growth in his performance over three years and I don't think they're doing anything to make him better. And the production decisions just seem to do him in--including that whole "DOUBLE THE POINTS!" silliness.
The bad thing is that no one really cares--since they're not trying to go for record numbers, they're satisified with that they're getting and there's no passion to make the show better. It's just perfunctory clock-punching from all concerned.

There's a lot of truth there. Kingworld and the ew producers wanted to make a better "Hollywood Squares" in '02 and they suceeded. There is so much untapped potential here to do something like that.
Still, being better than Louie's run and the games timeless formatt is enough to carry the day.
