Re: [TV orNotTV] TBS having trouble getting Full Frontal

Recent events have made me extra vigilant about new episodes. Between basketball overage and what was probably a faulty DVR listing, it's not been clear whether or not a new episode was really a new episode. No idea what happened tonight.  If the Twitter feed is accurate, it seems like it

[TV orNotTV] TBS having trouble getting Full Frontal

Tonight's new episode was not aired on the East Coast (there was a repeat instead), but the show Twitter feed promises it will be on at the normal time in the West.  There's a crawl during Conan's monologue indicating Ms. Bee will be on with the new episode right after Conan. David -- --

Re: [TV orNotTV] Reality competitors to play TPIR in primetime

Correct - each CMD paired a "Survivor" superfan (but otherwise normal, non-celebrity) contestant with a previous castaway (there were a bunch of alumni present, but only 9 played - two others modeled one of the showcases). But aside from an increased prize budget, slightly redressed set and

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: WGN in Chi Dropping CW

The thing I noticed from the comments of Feder's full-length post on the affiliation switch is that certain Chicago expats are hoping that this means that WGN America will go back to being a superstation and that sports and Tom Skilling will be back (one even hoped that Bozo would come back). You

Re: [TV orNotTV] Reality competitors to play TPIR in primetime

I believe that like past celeb shows in the Carey years, the reality show contestants are teamed up with civilians from the audience. Considering that tonight they're up against the performance finales of "The Voice" and "DWTS," it may all be academic anyway. Mark Jeffries Saints Spotlight

Re: [TV orNotTV] Reality competitors to play TPIR in primetime

There's a long-standing theory when it comes to game shows that when you're resorting to celebrities playing the game in civilian* spots, you're in a world of hurt because viewers may say they want to watch celebrities, but you've eliminated the personal investment and risk that comes with regular

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: WGN in Chi Dropping CW

It's worth noting that Chicago is an extreme outlier when it comes to TV OTA baseball. Last time I checked, somewhere in the range of 70 games each for both the Sox and the Cubs are on some OTA channel (WGN, WLS, or WPWR). I don't think any other team comes even close (PIX takes 21 Yankees games

A 50+ year-old to play a guy who barely made it to 33?I'd call Yuri Sardarov ("Otis" on Chicago Fire) a better option.  Basically the same age, strong resemblance, and he's often called on to play comic relief on the show, so he seems like he ought to have *some* comedy chops.Doug FieldsTampa, FL
