Re: [TV orNotTV] Mini review: The Wheel

A couple of other notes I have to pass along... - These shows were taped in October 2021. - Michael McIntyre, the host, often complained about having to repeatedly say "it's one in three, who's it gonna be," saying that NBC forced him to have a rhyming catchphrase. - McIntyre also pointed out

Re: [TV orNotTV] It’s Not HBO (It’s Max)

Meanwhile, HBO still has Cinemax. It confused me that HBO Max didn’t really roll in the Cinemax brand. After all, their streaming used to be called “Max Go”. Besides the valuable channel space I wonder why the linear Cinemax channels still exist. So after all that money that they spend, WBD

[TV orNotTV] Re: Looking For Paramount (Dot Com)

I don’t know if it was a paid promotion, but Howard Stern ranted about this very thing last week before his show went on year-end hiatus. Playing the average guy, he needed a couple of people to explain the difference between Paramount+ and Paramount Network. For the benefit of the rest of

[TV orNotTV] Emmys Try to Avoid Gang Nominations for Series, Redefine Variety Categories

The Television Academy has changed the policy allowing members to make unlimited nominations for a program in each category, making them limited to the number of nominations per categ(usually five), in an attempt to keep one show from dominating the acting categories as "White Lotus" and

[TV orNotTV] Re: Cecily Strong subtly leaves SNL

It's hard to call the departure 'subtle' when it was announced before the live show AND there were two full sketches about Cecily leaving. Wiig's departure was graceful compared to Cecily's. (Also, what was up with Jost?) On Sunday, December 18, 2022 at 9:11:24 AM UTC-5 Bob Jersey wrote: > It

Re: [TV orNotTV] Mini review: The Wheel

Nikki's fine until she opens her mouth and you remember that one of her major weaknesses in WWE was her total inability to cut a promo worth half a damn. You'd think the time she'd have picked SOMETHING up from John Cena for all the time they were together. On Tuesday, December 20, 2022 at

Re: [TV orNotTV] Mini review: The Wheel

I watched it and found it a harmless, dumb game. I don’t feel the need to record any more episodes, but if I were in a social situation and someone told me they enjoyed watching it, I wouldn’t think there was anything wrong with that. On Tue, Dec 20, 2022 at 11:24 AM Jon Delfin wrote: > On Tue,

Re: [TV orNotTV] Mini review: The Wheel

Barmageddon is also very honest about being stupid.  It's basically the same kind of games East Coast and British Jimmy do on their shows, but without the annoying Jimmys. I'll try The Wheel again, but what little I saw last night suggested it wasn't much more than "Millionaire" with a
