Game Show Promos: Family Feud, Temptation, Crosswords

[Hondo20132]

At 5:30, you might as well take a 30-minute break.

@Hondo20132

I'd take a 60-minute break at 5:30, but that's just me. ;)

I am comparing "Merv Griffin's Crosswords" to "Double Dare" by way of the "spoilers." The number they both have in common is 3. There are 3 regular spoilers and 3 PhD spoilers.

[Jnelson09Returns]

All three of these shows air on one station in Raleigh... owned by Sleazeclair, so I'm not watching them.

[huggyface]

WRDC, of course...WLFL is also owned by "Sleazeclair." Thankfully, they haven't pervaded (invaded) South Florida yet...but I feel your Sinclair pain, as I used to be there too. ;-)

[Jnelson09Returns]

Thanks. There's always YouTube. Or, if I'm feeling desperate, I could intercept a signal from Greenville or Wilmington.

[huggyface]

What signals do you get from the Eastern NC areas? I used to get 7/9 from Greenville and sometimes 6 Wilmington when I lived in NC.

[barber747]

I've never heard of Temptation. What is that?

[mrmatchgame]

Be glad you did!

[barber747]

What? So basically you're saying "Be glad you never heard of it because it sucked?"

[mrmatchgame]

Think about the Matrix, 2 & 3 Combined together, and that is Temptation

[barber747]

So you're saying it sucked. Am I right?

[mrmatchgame]

*sigh* yes

[huggyface]

Just a shitty, dullish remake of an old classic show called, "Sale of the Century"...which was insanely poplular in the 80's. Temptation is just "insane." ;-)

[animfan1]

The set of Merv Griffin's Crosswords is similar to the 1984 version of Scrabble.

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

temptation is absolutely pathetic! not only is the budget cheap as hell, i'm beginning to think that it may be fixed.

[huggyface]

Since the game show scandal of the 50's, there are laws that ban fixing...but you're right, Temptation is a shitty attempt (and cheap-budgeted too) at remaking a GREAT classic show, Sale of the Century. SOTC was worth the effort and time to watch, but not this shit. Jim Perry (SOTC host) wouldn't be caught dead with "Temptation", I hope...

[ianjensen]

It's doesn't suck so much when you win a Mini Cooper like I did.

[huggyface]

Congrats on your win but I still think the show is crap compared to old-school Sale..it may not be the worst show ever but it still isn't like watching the classic. I wish the new show would let you play for the whole lot of prizes and offer a cash jackpot and also the questions could be of a more varying nature not mainly pop-culture. Do they not think people still care about things not pop-related? And Perry had more personality than Rossi.

[prausch65]

These promos will be priceless years from now when the station that carries it is defunct and these games are long forgotten.

[namk19]

is that like nbc?

[crinos43]

I like what I saw.

Is that Todd Newton hosting Crosswords?

[nlyons162]

No, the host of Crosswords is Ty Treadway.

[dalabaso428]

Oh, I get it! That promo I've just discovered came from MyTV New England a.k.a. WZMY-TV 50 in Derry, New Hampshire. Isn't that ironic?
