I cannot take one second of Drew Barrymore.

I watched Murders in the Building for the first time because it won awards. I was not excited enough to watch it again. As you said, maybe you have had to watch it from the beginning to enjoy it.

Is there anyone here who really loves it and can tell us why you like it and why it would win awards. I like Steve and Martin, but they can't pull the whole show. Wish Tiny Fey would go away.

"No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public".

 

Honestly, you just don't know what new game shows will end up being a decades-long hit.

 

I love a smidge of Jeopardy every single night, but they only film 5 shows a week and I never see re-runs beyond the weeknights.

 

As a result, I am testing Celebrity Jeopardy and hoping it's at least mediocre ... and watchable.

Yes, going back isn't always good.  The first of those old originals, had funny people on, and the general public had a sense of humor.  It was fun and funny, nothing personal.

I have no interest in watching this new version, not a fan of Drew Barrymore, can't compare with the classic original telecast with Paul Lynde, George Gobel, Rose Marie and Totie Fields.

I watched it. Nothing is ever as good as the original.

 

Things will settle down with Drew. The original version also gave the center square a lot of attention.  

 

But it was something different from what we usually see on tv.

Re: The new Hollywood Squares Game show.

Watched a couple episodes. Don’t care for it. Won’t be watching it again. Doesn’t have the same vibe as the original, which I know can not be recreated. I also watched the new Match Game. Another fail imo. I stick to watching the original on GSN.

Re: The new Hollywood Squares Game show.

I watched 1 episode and that was enough for me. It was so scripted and fake. It won't last.
