Evening everyone!
So I'm looking around the web and such, and read an article from Broadcasting and Cable (http://\"http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6503816.html?industryid=47173\").
Crosswords will be available for the PS2 (trademarks be damned), Nintendo DS, and (as you know) XBOX Live arcade, the former two in the fall of 2009. A DVD board game will also be available.
The same magazine has stated that MGC will see a second year on syndication. Broken as the format is, I am cool with this. I can deal (pun noted, not intended) with an hour strip of this show and a more sedate format of DoND next fall. I am sure my NBC affiliate in the Chicagoland area will do just that.
Thoughts?

I don't see where the article says a second year in syndication is happening. I just read a board game is coming in the fall.

A board game version of MGC? It's already been done -- called "Scrabble".

I am quite surprised that it's not on the web, but I actually read the article while at my TV station.
Also, I think the last sentence from the article I linked implied it...(paraphrased) In it's first year in syndication, Crossowrds has been cleared in 90% of all markets.
As always, I can be wrong.

All that says is it got a lot of clearance in its first year. Says nothing whatsoever about a second.
