Translation: When asked to commit to hosting this infamous mockery of the Jeopardy concept, Bialik replied, "despite appearances to the contrary if you've ever seen an episode of Call me Kat, I have one tiny modicum of dignity and absolutely refuse to participate. Perhaps Alec Baldwin is available if you wish to begin shooting immediately."When asked for clarification, as in if it should not be gathered from this omission that Bialik is not hosting, Erwich responded: “Correct.”

Re: Primetime Celebrity Jeopardy!
I think I parsed it correctly. Though omission makes it a triple-negative, in a sense. They want it for the fall. They need to prepare now, since taping will begin soon and everything takes longer with the celebrities. They want her to host and she hasn't committed. I used some poetic license on the rest.seaborgium wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 2:36 pmTranslation: Anachronism had (understandable) trouble parsing the double negative in the excerpt quoted.Anachronism wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 2:34 pmTranslation: When asked to commit to hosting this infamous mockery of the Jeopardy concept, Bialik replied, "despite appearances to the contrary if you've ever seen an episode of Call me Kat, I have one tiny modicum of dignity and absolutely refuse to participate.

Re: Primetime Celebrity Jeopardy!
will only be a death spiral of prime time J, syndicated J will be just fine.
One thing I haven't seen in the places I bothered to look, and I didn't look at the links above, is how many episodes? I don't see this being on all season.
Total game show career losings = $171,522

WoF was 8 in S1 and 13 in S2. S1 was Jan - Mar. and S2 was Sept. into end of Jan. the following year.triviawayne wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 3:47 pmwill only be a death spiral of prime time J, syndicated J will be just fine.

Celeb. J! may go in the middle with 10 eps. since ABC can't be sure how it will go over. Right, it will not go from Sept. 2022 - May 2023.

Just because you don't like a show, doesn't make it bad.

And it's been renewed for another season, so I guess enough others do, too.Armandillo wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 9:25 pmJust because you don't like a show, doesn't make it bad.

Also, good that this Celebrity version is on Sunday at 8. That makes it very easy to hard-pass on.

Re: Primetime Celebrity Jeopardy!
Sure, It averages less than two million viewers per new episode and scores a 0.3 in the demo. I guess that's enough these days - it's been a while, so what seems like all-time bad ratings could be the norm these days. Blossom averaged about 12 million viewers per episode during its run and was in the coveted top 30 for the season only once.econgator wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 10:25 pmAnd it's been renewed for another season, so I guess enough others do, too.Armandillo wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 9:25 pmJust because you don't like a show, doesn't make it bad.

My intent wasn't to say it was a bad show, though I didn't enjoy the episode I watched enough to try it again. To me, I felt it was undignified. But, again, just an opinion. Give me that kind of money, and I'd certainly play undignified, too. Mostly, I was just expressing my feelings about Mike Davies and the direction of the show. Which probably no one wants to hear right now. I feel like writing an item like TPH's, but I haven't contributed enough to the discussion over the years to warrant that, and I still watch because it's a habit with my wife and I.

ABC needs something to counter-program against football, and this is relatively inexpensive to produce.triviawayne wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 8:55 pm A really bad omen is it is going up against Sunday night football.

Re: Primetime Celebrity Jeopardy!
Just because ABC needs to counter-program, doesn't make it good for Jeopardy. No matter what is put in there, it's a lamb meet slaughter situation; and since I have a feeling everyone here likes Jeopardy, that is not a good thing for those reading this.OntarioQuizzer wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 11:19 pmABC needs something to counter-program against football, and this is relatively inexpensive to produce.triviawayne wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 8:55 pm A really bad omen is it is going up against Sunday night football.
Network executives love to beat any popular thing like a piñata until it is dead, and this Sunday night in the fall slot for primetime Jeopardy is a perfect example.

The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Before I found the old Sony board, I wouldn’t watch celebrity games. Then I had a place to mock them so I resumed watching.

Re: Primetime Celebrity Jeopardy!
This site calls it Jeopardy’s first spin-off. I guess SuperJeopardy, GOAT, and the NCC don’t count.
