Is the Chase returning for a new season? Their social page doesn't give any indication of if or when
Presumably when pyl is done Thursday, it'll be awhile before it's back. Pyramid? Maybe summer?

Password returns on March 12 at 10pm Eastern. From the press release:
“Password” season two includes even more celebrity guests, including Chance the Rapper, Laverne Cox, Nikki & Brie Garcia, Lauren Graham, Wiz Khalifa, Jimmy Kimmel, Johnny Knoxville, Liza Koshy, Howie Mandel, Joe Manganiello, Joel McHale, Meghan Trainor, Lindsey Vonn and Roy Wood Jr.
Changes in game play:
Season two of “Password” will continue to draw upon gameplay elements from past versions of the hit format but will also include new series additions. New this season, “Shoot the Moon!” can be played when a contestant first sees the password and is confident that they can get their teammate to guess it with just one clue; that player can then tell Palmer they want to “Shoot the Moon!”. If they correctly guess the password with one clue, they’ll get eight points instead of the usual six. But, if they get it wrong, their opponent will get a chance to steal.
New for tiebreakers, Palmer will take creative license to deliver clues in her own voice with the opportunity to “perform” the words until one contestant buzzes in with an answer, instead of the show presenting clues. In addition, the second round of games in each episode now includes a special category or theme that relates to all the passwords in that round.
Also new, “Password Prize of the Night” randomly selects a moment during the game where a special sound will play to signify that the next password is also worth a fabulous prize.

Pretty sure Weakest Link has about a half-dozen episodes left to air before they make any decision about a fourth season.

Reruns showed up in my new Tablo. Fun redoing season recordings when you get new devices

The Chase fb page seems to promote other ABC shows. Smells like cancelation

I am not sure I can think of two people I need to see play Password LESS than the Bella Twins.

I watched half an episode and Jimmy stunk up the place. Not impressed

And yet.. season one ratings were excellent by today’s modest standards.
Fallon is not a traditional game producer and it appears nbc is far
More interested in entertainment driven competitions—hence why it is so committed to moving as shiny floor a game as ever as DOND to a mud pile scrum.
So anyone who expects password to be played for anything more than the laughs that Jimmy’s skits have produced THIS century will have to be satisfied with BUZZR

I went out to dinner last night and the show was on one of the TVs. Even with it being on mute I found myself annoyed. Piggybacking off Steve’s point, why NBC feels its shows need to be so over-the-top and overproduced, I don’t know. There’s modern and then there’s NBC.

Well, something other than The Voice, Sunday Night Football, and Dick Wolf has to draw ratings, doesn’t it?

Peyton on the NBC Olympic ads. I'd say College Bowl will be one of their shows that leads up to the opening ceremony

I say the same thing about a lot of the FOX game/reality programming -- over-produced, over-the-top, etc...

Interesting to see them promote DOOL, after they moved it to Peacock

Randy West noted in his fb group that 100k is not renewed nor cancelled. Another poster replied no new shows were taped this year. Given Strahans nfl gig, I doubt we see anything new til at least mid 2025
