I'm sure their thought is that with their library of thousands of shows, nobody is going to miss one episode here and there. And while this group proves that "nobody" is an exaggeration, they're not wrong to think that.

Speaking of which, a contestant actually said the word "midget" in yesterday's episode and BUZZR forgot to bleep it.

Starting Monday, 2/22, Narz Concentration moves to weekdays at 9:00am ET, while Classic Concentration takes its slot at 8:00pm/11:00pm ET.

I'm kind of surprised this one didn't happen sooner. I think Trebek CC will have a wider appeal at that time slot.

I’m guessing they didn’t want, or may have been contractually prevented from, CC running against new episodes of Alex’s better-known show. And given time zone differences, that would have happened in at least a handful of markets, with pretty much any prime time slot they put it in. For obvious reasons, that’s no longer an issue.

I agree that Trebek CC will have wider appeal, though. But I hope Narz Concentration doesn’t get too shafted. There’s a lot of it we still haven’t seen. And I’m thinking it must not have done badly, for it to have gotten an upgrade from 7:30 to 8:00 not that long ago.
