The Big Board / Re: New Season Of The Mole On Netflix June 28

VERY much looking forward to seeing Ari, rather than just hearing him. I'm not a huge MOLE fan, but I'll certainly try this.

It’s amusing when you recall that Alan Cumming and Ari Shapiro have just been out on tour together with their “Considered Cabaret” show that they’re now hosting similar shows.

I was going to say the success of The Traitors had to be a huge tick in The Mole's favor, but this renewal was first reported in February 2023, when The Traitors had just been out in America for a month. So perhaps not.

I honestly thought it would never happen, but...

New host is Ari Shapiro from NPR. AFAIK, it is three episodes a week for three weeks.

I’m almost certain the Times owned a station in Huntsville Alabama at one time.  Maybe that’s the one that did it. 
Do remember the same distributor not only had let’s make a deal but I believe they also offered Hollywood squares the previous year.
In the south many distributors were personal friends with management.  Even if they had done deals as reps for other companies in the past.  Sort of a code of the west, or at least the south.
Perhaps that’s what happened here.

Recently, Buzzr had been quietly airing "new" episodes of Press Your Luck on the weekends, which I had been enjoying. I didn't have GSN during its run there, so I haven't seen these later episodes since the USA Network days. I like seeing them intact and crystal clear, and I have no real interest in scouring YouTube for the VHS transfers and GSN'ed videos that have been uploaded.

I'm a little bummed that the show is taking a break, but this isn't the first time Buzzr has taken Press Your Luck off the schedule entirely, and I hope it'll be back soon enough.

I agree with that.  Brandon's right that there's enough of the show out there, but the final couple of months of the show have either never been repeated, or were shown just once on USA back in the early '90s.  It would be good to finally see them to close out the original series.

And with that, TIL that the NYT owned TV stations, all in the South for some reason

TIL that Scranton, Des Moines, and Quad Cities IA/IL are in the South.

I would understand were they Body Language and Double Dare or Treasure Hunt and The $20,000 Pyramid but honestly, that's a little excessive and over the top. Brandon is right. Ever since Fremantle started monetizing videos I imagine they've shown more leeway but I do know one channel got absolutely potatoed this week.

Has nothing to do with GT. He took the Sony gamble and lost. That's my final answer

If you're referring to The Game Show Channel, it's my understanding that uploading UK Millionaire was the straw that broke the camel's back.

They don't need any other reason than that.

I did not say that they did but only asked if they did have another reason.

By "get it", you mean allowing others to commit digital piracy for your own selfish reasons.

You're wrong.  By "get it", I mean realizing there's money to be made with the fans sharing your content through streaming.

When you complain that others come across as "condescending" in response to your posts, perhaps you should put a little stock into what you post.

Perhaps you should as well, as you're way too quick to use invective with people around here.  I asked a legitimate question, and your insulting me is out of line.
