The podium of Art Flemming is vacant, the CBS daytime shows have distanced themselves while they can and Televised Insanity is reaching the finish line of his podcast. Game Shows are adapting to the pandemic in their own ways (or have slowly burnt off their episodes over several months). Like the rest of television, I seems like a few shows have restarted, but there is not much new episodes out there at this moment. Syndication:

We all seem to have caught the game show bug early and the previous general thread has been archived. I'll update the OP as I can. Scroll through for various ephemera and rare episodes. Goon Run Podcast: Game Shows, I suppose is run by TelevisedInsanity, who is completing his 110-part series on every TPiR pricing game.

Today in whatever you want to call these Shows crossovers, Matt and Ackbar from American Ninja Warrior went on Lip Sync Battle. https://twitter.com/lsb/status/1139358001394049025 Matt figured out that the easiest way for a guy to win is to cross-dress. He performed Cher's Believe.

Yeah, talk about whatever game show you want. The summer schedule OP was more of a starting point, and I think the former General Game Show Megathread has been archived. The podcast has also been added to the OP.

I tried watching Holey Moley and Family Food Fight last night and woof. I'm going to try and give both a second chance, but they left a mini golf on the cutting room floor. As for FFF, I hope it's from watching too many Food Network edited game shows, but the food seemed like an afterthought to the family Dynamics, causing one team to get eliminated because they didn't work together and the daughter led. Anyone try Spin the Wheel?

Gonz posted:They used goddamn Kenny G last week as a psych-out tactic from Baseketball, too. I watched the series premier again, and it seems like they want to do too much or maybe were originally going to have a two hour show. They managed to get all the crazy stuff in (and remind you that this is Steph Curry's) baby, but I feel bad the contestants who got the "during the commercial break..." Treatment. Tomorrow on BUZZR, they continue their fourth birthday celebration with a tribute to pride... Within the limits of mid-century game shows. They've found an episode of What's My Line? where Judy Garland is the mystery guest, and the subtle styles of Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly. They've also collected every Whammy they could find from the original Press Your Luck and put it into one video: https://facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2261918557358260&id=1594990200717769&__tn__=%2As%2As-R

I do wonder sometimes what makes someone "good enough" to be invited on to a game show. I get there's a certain amount of telegenic presence you need, but my example is "The King of the Walk On Line" from Ninja Warrior, Dave Cavanagh. The dude spent a total of 77 days in walk on lines over the past five years, making it to Vegas at least twice. I'm surprised NBC took their time to finally get him out of the Walk on category (unless he hated submitting tapes every year). Replacing the line with a lottery was probably inevitable, as I'm sure cities loved having a crowd of people occupying public parks for weeks at a time.

That strategy always rubbed me the wrong way like the Forrest Bounce in Jeopardy; even though a ton has changed in terms of acting crazy, what people wear, length of the show and spay and neuter your pets, it's strangely comforting to see that strategy. Bob Barker also put on a drat Master Class. I've updated the op with a few shows I left off, and depending on if I have free time/energy I might make an effort post of cable game shows. Look at that list nearly made me cross eyed, so who knows.

In between getting my rear end kicked at work and binging WOW: The CatholicTV challenge I need to take a break and tilt at the windmill that is Cable TV gameshows. I'm using wikipedia's list for active game shows; they'll advertise a premiere like mad, but finding out a show is cancelled basically involves finding Ben Gleib and asking him when Idiotest is coming back. Game Show Network Does what it says on the tin. Over the past year they've tried to do the every weekday afternoon schedule for new episodes. Currently the only two Classic game shows on their schedule are Match Game '7X and 2000's era Wheel of Fortune.
Food Network Wikipedia doesn't list any of the competitive cooking shows but gently caress you there's a winner who sometimes gets cash at the end of the episode/season, they're game shows to me, dammit. The format on all of them is essentially the same: receive ingredients, make food that judges like better, collect prize. The editing on every show tries to make it seem like the judges votes are closer than they really are. This is a majority of Food Network programming--The Cooking Channel has more of the actual cooking shows.
Nickelodeon
The Rest of Cable Considering 80's cable was full of repeats, I'm not surprised that there's not more first run game shows.

The latest game show to be green lit by ABC is called Don't, where tasks like successfully not blinking could be rewarded up to $1,000,000: https://abc.go.com/news/insider/dont-new-game-show-ryan-reynolds-coming-to-abc Elsewhere, NBC is now advertising someone has achieved Total Victory on Ninja Warrior. It ruins some of the suspense for me, but I get that they are trying to get as many eyeballs as they can. I hope Matt and Ackbar actually get excited, unlike in 2014 where it got the "That's all the time we have on Nitro, we'll see you Thursday for Thu..." treatment.

blast0rama posted:I'm guessing this was the idea behind the Speed Pass/Safety Pass concept introduced this season. Up the odds of someone completing the whole thing by giving people less work on the way there/a do-over if they fail. The do-over should help at least one of the six to get to stage 3, but all bets are off after that. I'm curious if it will backfire on anyone because they've been gassed out by running an extra stage. EDIT: The National Finals is now a 4 week event. They're better not be any edits!

Victorkm posted:God I hate how they edit out so many of my favorite ninjas in favor of lovely new guys with sob stories. Jamie Rahn really got screwed over for TV time this year. If you get married, wife gets diagnosed with MS, etc. they'll let you have a second puff piece. I'm digging that Grant is trying to be serious for a season after what he did to himself last year. I feel real bad for two categories of Ninjas: the ones who have now run all 11 seasons and those who have been overshadowed by their girlfriends while still being strong competitors themselves. I thought Crhis DiGangi or James MCGraff filled both, but they might have both missed a season.

Here's the 28th cast of Dancing With the Stars:code:Elsewhere, I started watching Supermarket Stakeout with my wife on Food Network. The premise is surprisingly complex for food network: Alex Guarnascheli hands you $500 and gives you the themes for each of the three rounds. You then have to accost people coming out of a grocery store to buy their food so you can make the dishes, budgeting your money on the assumption you make it to the final round. One of the constants last night was a total blockhead and may have given away the bit by saying "These shoppers looked staged!  " I have to agree with him-- I can't imagine selling some of my grocery orders for only $120.

hexwren posted:It could be so much worse, though, so I appreciate them not totally breaking one of my favorite games of my childhood. I've got pretty thick rose colored glasses for this revival, but I agree with you about the flow. I think it's the bonus round that screws up the editing and timing of the first round. I can only imagine someone crashing out or quitting in the first round that would totally blow the show up. Reviving daytime gameshows and maybe pairing it with Match Game would be my fantasy; I'll keep praying to Wink Martindale that this comes true.

For some reason I was thinking ABC and FOX's budget were pooled together with the rest of the Disney money in a literal Scrooge McDuck vault. I'm bored, trying to watch Nashville Squares and woof. Two more celebrities playing for the contestants, dragging though the game (in the first episode, X won after $4000 which took all of seven questions?), Bill Engvall seems to be the recurring celebirty but isn't the center square. They're trying to be Match Game '16 without the speed and half the charm. If I need my Squares fix I'll stick with that bonkers Match Game Hollywood Squares hour that was finally allowed out of the Vault.

American Ninja Warrior is back with its USA vs the world special Sunday, with almost zero advertising. They've also been officially renewed for their ninth season on NBC, but will only tape in three cities for qualifying. I don't know if this is more for cost saving or time saving (the Tokyo Olympics sucking all the oxygen out in August).

I completely missed the boat on "watching eSports" as a thing; I never minded using spectator mode in a game, but the traditional sports broadcast style that say TBS does is lacking. More power to Will if he can figure out how to make a reality contest out of it. Elsewhere, Chopped spun off Sweets specials into its own series. The crew is completely different it seems in addition to Scott Conant being both host and judge. The camera work is much different and the flow from watching God knows how many of the main Chopped is all off. Though after last night's Chopped Champions Grand final where they left the producer's instructions in at random points, I don't know what Food Network is doing.

Doggles posted:On the other side of that coin, I was hugely disappointed with The Titan Games' first season and I'm surprised it's getting a second. The final round's obstacle course was phenomenal, but the first 55 minutes of each episode was an absolute waste of time. Why would you spend 5 minutes on the backstory of every contestant along with footage of them getting the call to be a contestant, only for them to be immediately eliminated in their first round lasting less than a minute?! I think American Ninja Warrior gets the sad sack story ratio right, even if it means my favorite Ninjas get shunted to the commercial breaks. I'm hoping they figure out some crazy marathon taping in St. Louis' dome to salvage the season. quote:Only got into ABC's lineup of game shows last year because of the return of Press Your Luck. They've been doing a fantastic job of updating classic game shows. Before then I had no idea modern versions of Match Game, To Tell the Truth, and Pyramid had been running for years! Not seeing Pyramid on the schedule I looked it up and apparently it also got delayed because of COVID-19. I'm impressed we're getting any of these shows this summer. All my assumptions about production location and schedule are blow up by at least one New York (Match Game) and Los Angeles (Press Your Luck) show airing this summer. Holey Moley I think is shot way in advance, but Card Sharks being in Las Vegas probably hurt it.
