Turkey Weekend

Wow it's been a while. Here is some recent news. GSN will have some marathons Thanksgiving Weekend. On Thursday, Catch Howie and some gorgeous gals on NBC than Syndicated Deal or No Deal from 9am-6pm. I might check it out. If you manage to survive that great thanksgiving feast, you get an awesome treat. From 9am-3pm, catch Pat, Vanna, and Charlie on Wheel of Fortune. The episodes will be from November 2006, May 2007, and February 2006. I'll tune in for sure. Also great to hear Charlie seeing how he's been edited out of the show. Howie gets a marathon from 9am-9pm on Saturday. All NBC. That's all for this. Happy Holidays.

Enough Already

In a house with 12 and 10 year old brothers, they love Dragon Ball Z Kai. Now, I never really liked it, as a matter of fact, I hate it. It annoys me.

But does it need to be played 369372947377301716390925938 Times a day? That's what turned me away. No show needs to be played that much. Same with Avatar the Last Airbender, but at least I can stand it.

Splank You

I'm in a Jazz Band where I live. One of the songs we are playing is called Splanky. It's a cool song. The piano solos and the trumpet mutes are a great touch. Wonderful jazz song. Very complicated though.

Rollin on Back

This week, the 9:30am airings of Karn Feud will be going back to 2002. I've never been a fan of Karn Feud season 1. Just very dull. I think the premiere will air tomorrow. Oh well, it could be Louie.

November 15th Schedule Changes

Here is the new schedule

7:00pm - 1 vs. 100 (GSN)
7:30pm - Deal or No Deal (SYN)
8:00pm - Family Feud (O'Hurley)
8:30pm - Family Feud (Karn)
9:00pm - Newlywed Game
9:30pm - Baggage
10:00pm - 1 vs. 100 (GSN)
10:30pm - Lingo (Yes, Lingo)
11:00pm - Deal or No Deal
12:00am - Catch-21
12:30am - Family Feud (O'Hurley)
1:00am - Family Feud (Karn)
1:30am - The $25,000 Pyramid
2:00am - Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
3:00am - Card Sharks (Eubanks)
3:30am - Card Sharks (Perry)

Well, my biggest gripe is $100,000 Pyramid leaves. Glad to see O'Hurley getting another slot. Lingo is interesting. I wonder how long Catch-21 will last. Regis getting pushed to graveyard hours is interesting too.

New Season Review

I've never been a huge fan of The Newlywed Game, but I watched the Season 4 debut with Sherri Shepherd. Still don't like it that much, but at least I watches 20 minutes of it.

Goodbye to a Legend

I was saddened this afternoon to learn the passing of a marvelous game show announcer, Charlie O'Donnell. Charlie announced various shows such as:

Wheel of Fortune
Trivia Trap
The Joker's Wild
Tic Tac Dough
The $25,000 Pyramid
The $100,000 Pyramid
Press Your Luck
Card Sharks
The Cheap Show
Stumpers

R.I.P Charlie O. You will be missed. WoF will never sound the same. Also, you can hear Charlie tonight at 2:30am on The $25,000 Pyramid

A Halloween Weekend

I must say, I didn't crap my pants because of freight this weekend after watching some Halloween game shows. This weekend game shows such as Karn and O'Hurley Family Feud, and Deal or No Deal. I did find a tape from last year featuring Halloween episodes of Super Password, Ray Combs Family Feud, and Anne Robinson's Weakest Link. I enjoyed them, especially Weakest Link. Ha.

Richard and Richard in the Morning

One of the most recent controversial subjects on the GSN board is Richard Dawson and Richard Karn's Family Feud. On September 13th, GSN put Karn on Mondays and Fridays at 9:00am and 12:30pm. Dawson aired on Tuesdays-Thursdays at those spots. That pissed some people off. Didn't bother me though.



On September 27th, Karn aired Monday and Friday mornings at 9:00am (full hour) and Dawson the other weekdays. I found this good because we got through the late 1980 episodes faster.

On October 25th, it changed again. Dawson aired at 9:00am and Karn at 9:30am. That's fine with me too.

Happy Days are Here Again

The TV network The Hub launched on October 10, 2010. What tuned me in was Happy Days. I have been waiting a long time to see this again. I was very happy to see Richie, Potsie, Fonzie and many others. I really enjoy it and hope it sticks around.

I'm also glad it got to be seen again before Tom Bosley passed away on the 19th. God bless you Tom and your family.
