The Big Board / Re: "Pop Culture Jeopardy" and "Wish List Games" coming to Amazon Prime

Applications for Pop Culture Jeopardy appear to be officially open now:

I would totally apply for this if it were individual contestants, but I could never find two other people who would want to be on a team with me.

The Big Board / CNN Greenlights US Version Of "Have I Got News For You"

No host named yet.

Yes, this news comes on the same day CNN announced they will run a Presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump on June 27. Make your own joke up.

Wasn't a US version of "Mock The Week" supposed to be on Amazon Freevee this year (2024)? Anybody know what happened to that one? Did the Hollywood strikes kill it?

The keywords here being "to us". There's an older set of viewers out there who know how to access Buzzr, whether it be OTA or with their cable/satellite, but wouldn't know Hulu from Netflix. THESE are the people who will benefit from it.

This right here. My mom would LOVE Pluto. I tried getting them a Roku box and a year of Hulu one year for Christmas. COMPLETE non-starter. She's got a smart TV in the living room now, and I promise you she has not one damn clue how to use the apps. :)
I got my mom into game shows as a kid, and before she cut the cord a few weeks ago she watched GSN every day. A couple years ago I bought her a smart TV for her birthday. She almost made me take it back but I managed to teach her how to use the thing. She’d probably love the various game channels on Pluto, but when we explained how the app works she got even more confused and said forget it.

And for that reason that I refused to get her a Firestick. :P

Next time I’ll tell the story of how she almost gave back her then-new 2015 car because it had a USB instead of a CD player.

Today, I would think the reason we haven't seen Davidson's version is the same reason no one has bothered to reair Chuck Henry's Now You See It or Michael Burger's Match Game: why bother when there's a better version that can be viewed instead?
I'll politely disagree that the 70s NYSI is better, host notwithstanding.  The first round format was tidier, the championship round was a nice diversion, and (IMO), the set was quite glitzy for daytime.

I've tried to show Mom how to cast/stream a few times, but she seems content with whatever Mediacom offers.  Unfortunately, I don't know of any OTA BUZZR affiliates in Iowa.  She does watch quite a few of the ABC/NBC primetime game show offerings.

It might not actually be ready for applications yet. Seems like it might be some sort of testing site. It came up high in a Google search for Pop Culture Jeopardy though.

Anyone having trouble logging in? It says my email/password are invalid, it won't let me log in using Facebook, and I have yet to receive a reset password email. Wonder if the site isn't as ready as they thought?

I experienced the same things. I made a new account and  that seemed to work.
Damn...now the site is down altogether. I guess they didn't expect as much of a response. I'll try again later tonight.
