Title: Scrabble Showdown?
Post by: Jimmy Owen on May 03, 2018, 07:26:24 AM

As I was leaving the house at 4am, a show called "Scrabble Showdown" was on Discovery Family.  Never heard of it, but the program guide said it was from 2012.  Looked good, but didn't have time to watch it.  Anybody familiar with it?

I remember one show where the kid's mom couldn't spell to save her life. The kid didn't stand a chance of winning.

I've also seen repeats of The Game of Life scheduled around that time, too. Not sure whether Discovery Family has placed any of its other early-2010s game shows in the overnight slots, but I also haven't been actively searching them out.
