LET'S MAKE A DEAL, a new take on the classic game show where audience members dress in outlandish costumes to win cash and prizes by making deals with the host, will begin production Tuesday, September 15 at the Tropicana Las Vegas. The new, one-hour series will premiere Monday, October 5, (check local listings) on the CBS Television Network. Emmy Award-winner Wayne Brady will host the new one-hour daytime series produced by FremantleMedia North America (AMERICAN IDOL, THE PRICE IS RIGHT).
Free tickets for the show are available at CBS.com with details about tape dates also available at the site.
Between September 18, GUIDING LIGHT's last airdate, and October 5, CBS will air repeats of THE PRICE IS RIGHT in GL's timeslot.
Who the hell cares! Just what the world needs...a remake of a washed up game show. UGH. After the last episode of Guiding Light airs, CBS is dead to me.
ReplyDeleteFUCBS.
ReplyDeleteCBS could have at least aired GL reruns for those 10 days, or kept GL on the air two more weeks. I can't believe the end is only 15 days away. :(
ReplyDeleteyes why are we getting reruns of the price is right and not GL? I wonder if CBS is already trying to get viewers to accept a game show in that position, but who wants to watch old episodes of a game show? It really boggles the mind what CBS is doing its not even smart business sure it might be a quick fix you get a game show, don't have to deal with contracts or writers but how long will that game show last until they have to replace it with something else? Its not smart in the long run.
ReplyDeleteAn hour of my life back.
ReplyDeleteWith all due respect to Wayne Brady and the rest of the LMAD's cast and crew, this show needs to fail miserably in the ratings to teach CBS not to screw with our soaps.
Again, why didn't P&G and CBS team up with ABC to go after NYC tax credits that are available to film and nighttime TV productions. If each show employs 100 to 300 people directly and indirectly year-round, why shouldn't the production companies try to get the same tax benefits TV shows that film 6 or 9 months get (especially since the soaps have multi-decade history of being NYC employers)?
