Title: Not Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?
Post by: DoItRockapella on February 11, 2011, 08:43:43 PM
So Buzzerblog is reporting on the upcoming syndicated show "On The Spot" and states that two syndicated shows have already been canceled. A commenter then goes on to say that these two shows are Fifth Grader and Don't Forget The Lyrics.

Anyone got any firm answer to this? I will admit that if it is true, it isn't a surprise. I suppose if you want to discuss On The Spot, this is the place for that too...

No official announcement, but I believe the assumption that Lyrics and 5th Grader won't return comes from 1) low ratings, and 2) they were no-shows at NATPE (mentioned at the end of this post (http://\"http://buzzerblog.flashgameshows.com/ratings-report-season-highs-for-syndication/\")).
