WEAKEST LINK - NEW VERSION - 9/29/20

Anyone going to watch?  I will give it a try.  Not a big fan of Jane Lynch though.  I liked the original w/Anne Robinson. I just Googled Anne Robinson and she basically looks the same but older.  Of course who doesn't except me?  LOL.

I will give it a try. I liked the old shows with the male host better. I can't remember his name. Anne spoke too fast but overall I enjoyed the show. Thank you for letting me know that it will be back on.

Don't remember the other host at all.  It must have been after Anne Robinson.  Just Googled and it was George Gray (syndicated).

Thank you. I was wracking my brain trying to remember his name.

I had to google a video to remember how this show worked.  I remembered the name, but that was all.

 

It was all about Anne and the insults.

I never cared for this show, I also have had my fill of Jane Lynch, so I won't be watching.

I agree w/you.  I thought The Weakest Link sounded familiar.  As I recall the show, I remember the female host who always wore a long frock, had a very short haircut and seemed very serious, and the panelists all stood at their podiums in a circle, but other than that, I really don't remember what the show was about. 

 

So I too may give this a shot, even though, like most others, not a Jane Lynch fan.  I'm tired of all this Zoom stuff and seeing people in their living rooms.

The lady who hosted the earlier version of Weakest Link was just great - with her British accent and condescending demeanor.  I don't know if Jane Lynch will live up to her predecessor, but am sure she'll try.

I watched the first episode and enjoyed it as much as I did when Anne was the host. I think they have kept it very near what the original game show was. I also think Jane Lynch is a good replacement for Anne Robinson. She does the sarcastic remarks very well, can have that dead-pan look on her face, and even though she is probably fed the comments/cracks to make, is very quick witted, even on other shows I have seen her.

 

I first got to know about Jane when she was the psychologist for Two and a Half Men with Charlie Sheen. She was so dead-pan in her looks at Charlie and her comments. Perfect for that part. She carried that over into Glee and other programs she has been on.

 

I will continue to watch. Not a must-see, but definitely something I will watch if I can.
