inturnaround:
So, I'll be leaving the great United States for 10 days in about a week and I was wondering if anyone more knowledgeable in these things can suggest game shows I can catch while I'm there.

Last time I was there I caught WWTBAM and Weakest Link (I remember watching a little of Cilla Black's \"Blind Date\", too). I doubt there are any prime time games anymore, but I'm sure there are some shows that I shouldn't miss.

Any suggestions?

PeterMarshallFan:
Could you see for me if Blankety Blank is still on?

Brig Bother:
It isn't, currently.

I recommend The Vault on Saturday night on ITV1, you might catch the Final of Big Brother if you're over next Friday, Grand Slam is well worth a look on Friday evening on Channel 4. Um... other than that nothing exciting comes to mind.

 Didn't The Vault get a new host? How is he/she doing?

I would say if nothing else stay FAR, FAR away from the new version of Call My Bluff. Oh, and if you really want to see millionaire, ITV1 airs reruns at 5:30 in the afternoon.

...and not that you asked, but if you're in the UK and stuck for something to do  SEE We Will Rock You !!! It's the best show in the west end currently.

Melanie Sykes, taking over from Davina McCall (who's rather busy with hosting Big Brother and being pregnant at the mo). I don't think she's as good, certainly doesn't stamp any sort of personality over the show and somehow manages to make the show seem very complicated reading the autocue which it isn't really, and certainly not how Davina would have done it.

Incidentally, E4 (the cable offshoot of Channel 4) is going to be showing delayed streaming coverage of US Big Brother 20 hours a day when our one finishes next Friday. This might be interesting...

If you've got access to Challenge TV at all, I heartily recommend Fort Boyard and Crystal Maze as being lots of fun. They also show Family Fortunes (Family Feud, if you will), Bruce's Play Your Cards Right (Card Sharks) and Bruce's Price is Right (Wipeout. No not really.)

Oh! And Winning Lines is back on Saturdays now as well.
