Now that the Big 4 networks have made their decisions as to what shows are renewed and what shows are either outright cancelled or what *may* return mid-season.
On the syndicated side:
We all know the New Wheel Era with Ryan Secrest is beginning in the fall...
Feud and J! show no signs of stopping...
What are the futures of the other offerings (Pictionary, 25WoL, PPoT, etc...)?
-
The three Fox shows were renewed awhile back.
25 Words or Less has already finished taping.
Person Place or Thing is in the process of taping now. I believe they have another month or so to go.
Unsure on when Pictionary is taping. It's the only of the three that didn't move to Atlanta.
-
I believe People Puzzler reruns were renewed as well.
Is Who the Bleep is That? still in production?

Nope.

You Bet Your Life is apparently canceled also.
Anybody know about Funny You Should Ask? (Yes, I realize the correct answer for FYSA is "They'll keep running the same ~300 episodes forever").
Let us also not forget that "The Flip Side", hosted by Jaleel White, is launching in syndication this fall.

With Byron Allen swinging the employment ax just a few weeks back, letting dozens (if not a few hundred) of AMG employees go across the board, I doubt.he will pony up the money to add more FYSA shows to its library anytime soon...
..But again, this is Byron Allen we're talking about.

Allen Media Group did sign the show's host, Jon Kelley, to a new deal back in February. He does other work for AMG, including commentary on HBCU sports, and the new deal also gives him the option to executive produce new programming. I could see AMG produce some more episodes for next season with Kelley still in the fold.
I don't think Who the Bleep got much clearance on stations.
As for YBYL -- Leno did say he did not want to cross the picket line, but there was also some talk that he refused to take a pay cut to keep the show going.

Guess he didn't cozy up to that crew the same way he did when he took an allegedly sizable pay cut to avoid a mass layoff on The Tonight Show on his watch.

I just saw an ad on Instagram casting for Pictionary that they're taping in Atlanta in July-August.
