Fox also announced its summer plans today ...

Of note ...

-- Season 2 of "Mental Samurai" has a two-hour premiere on May 25, then runs Tuesdays after "LEGO Masters"
-- Season 4 of "Beat Shazam," which has been in the Fox vault for more than a year (believe this was recorded pre-pandemic), premiers June 3.

Also, Joel McHale ("Card Sharks") pulls a Dick Clark and hosts two prime time shows on two networks at the same time with a cooking competition show that may ask the question -- what if Quibi's "Dishmantled" was an hour in length instead of five minutes?

They might have to use an MG2 setting for the panel, oddly enough.  (I commented the new, separate CFF podiums already looked kinda like Just Men! and its setup)

EDITS:

Maybe even go back to 1998 and have only five panelists? 

Does PYL separate the contestant podiums like Jeopardy! does?  Or extend it like Wheel?

And Pyramid....plexiglass between the main game desks and Winner's Circle?

Doesn't surprise me; while it was quite a goofy show, it was a tough pill to swallow.

To paraphrase Craig Ferguson from his former late night show, "It's a great day for game show fans in America."
