CBS picks up Lingo

[rjaguar3]

Based on internet reaction of late to the NYT version, me thinks CBS needs to get this show on ASAP... I think the buzz on Wordle is going to be completely gone if they wait too long.

I'm still waiting for CBS' Draw Something pilot.  Any day now.

Hopefully it will make it to air before OK Boomer premieres on Fox.

I just keep thinking about how Chuck Woolery and Michael Reagan are spinning in their graves right now knowing they were replaced by RuPaul.

And yes, before you correct me...I know. That's the joke.

Anyone else hearing crickets around here, all of a sudden?

I assume the joke was that their careers are dead?

How many episodes in until we get a contestant named Shante?

Yes, basically that they're irrelevant to me. I wish both Chuck and Mr. Reagan well in their personal lives, but professionally...eh.

Well, RuPaul was on The Graham Norton Show last week, so we at least know the host was in the right country to tape the show...

Bumping this thread. CBS just aired a promo for Lingo on today's LMAD. Starts January 11, the same day as NTT on FOX. I'm hoping they're not airing at the same time.

If only there were a way for you to watch one when it airs, and the other at another time.

"And at number 9 in the countdown this week, moving up three places, it's Lingo."

/someone get Don on the phone and tell him I want a goddamn concerted effort to come out of a record that isn't a fucking up-tempo record every time I do a goddamn DEATH dedication!

The following link is an online press release for the show:

https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/cbs-entertainment/shows/lingo/

Click on the "Storyline," link and you'll notice that under the "About LINGO," paragraph, they mention about the show having "a boardgame, Facebook game, and app available."  It would be nice if a U.S. version board game will be available in 2023, and if the ratings of the series are good, I wouldn't be surprised if it all happens.  It would also be neat if it is 100% faithful to the show.

There are nice photos and video clips at the site, too!
