Disappointments

<< < (7/10) > >>

beatlefreak84:
I think a lot of you took the ones that were going to be mine, but I'll echo some of them while adding two of my own:

I second the disappointments of:

Temptation US (so excited to have some form of Sale back on the air only to be so underwhelmed by what we got)
TTD GSN (first bona fide revival in over 30 years, but playing for points?  Playing a solo speed round?)
Card Sharks ABC (so...slow...must every game end in sudden death?  Joel McHale also looked so bored to be there)
Deal or No Deal NBC (enjoyed the temptations being made at first and still think Howie was an excellent host of the show, but too many sob stories/gimmicks taking away from the game got me to stop watching this shortly after the initial run)

I'll then add the following two disappointments:

Family Feud w/Steve Harvey (loved the breath of fresh air he brought the show when he started compared to Karn and O'Hurley, but the jokes are now predictable and I absolutely loathe that the third question's value will be changed to ensure that a fourth question must be played and pretty much will determine the winner)
Name That Tune FOX (first bona fide revival since Lange, but no Melody Roulette?  Even less songs per half-hour?  Beat Shazam seems to be the better iteration, honestly)

Stackertosh:
Hollywood Squares 2025— The show is slow-paced, the jokes are lame, and the "laughter" is so artificial that it's laughable.

Card Sharks, the show moves so slowly, and I thought the set was too large, and Joel McHale looked like he was bored hosting the show.

The Chase ABC—I wasn't a fan of Sara Haines hosting. (Chaser, did you know this answer?) after every question, and the show was just too over the top, and the suspenseful pauses and the theme music were terrible.

Weakest Link 2020—I thought the show was going to be fantastic with Jane Lynch hosting. The questions are way too long, the writing is terrible, and the contestants come off as actors. The updated music is fantastic.

Lingo with Bill Engvall as host.  I liked Bill well enough but disliked that now they were giving Scrabble like clues to the contestants. 

Wasn't crazy about the giant balls either behind the players...much more fun when they'd reach into the hopper and pull them out instead.

The best Lingo was with Chuck and Shandi, $5,000 for Bonus Lingo and a growing jackpot if a Lingo was made on one pull.

I wish they could have had returning champions and also dollars instead of points during the front games.

Card Shark:
Card Sharks 2019. For me, it was Joel McHale himself. Zero energy or excitement.

Card Shark:
I was thrilled that Card Sharks was revived in 1986....only to see it hosted by Bob Eubanks. I realize that Jim Perry was engaged in several projects, but Bob's attitude came off as too obnoxious at a contestant's expense all too often, and just rather obnoxious in general--especially in the last year and change. There's my 1.5 cents.
