NBC Shuffles Their Fall Categories

[Ian Wallis]

My guess is that it will be off NBC completely by fall '08 and become a five-day-a-week syndication exclusive.

I just hope the syndie version will complete games within the half-hour, rather than dragging them out over mulitple episodes.

I don't want to be Rumor Control, but NBC is also thinking about reviving "American Gladiators".

In this case, since there was a credible source for the rumor (Advertising Age), you actually would have been fine mentioning it as long as you'd cited that source and provided a link.  But in general, yeah, you want to be very careful about rumors ...[/quote]
It's not a rumor anymore, Dave.  (After a quick search for "Gladiators", I was surprised to find nobody broke that news last week.)

NBC is casting over the next few weeks (See: http://www.nbc.com/Casting/#gladiators )...Maybe one of the board's own can make the cut and show us what they are made of.  ;-)

Well, at least the people who entered the American Ninja Challenge and lost won't be too bored.

I'm optimistic, less cautiously than usual, even.
