Only PSAs and Promos so far on The Wheel...
-
NBC has a lot of weird timing tonight because they are repeating their Law and Order crossover event from earlier in the season. This is why The Wheel is shortened.
-
Thanks for the explanation. It was a very odd thing to see live without knowing what was going on. Best I can tell, there were no network breaks at all, just a local one.

45 minute show tonight
-
We have kind of been enjoying it in my household but are fully aware it does have shortcomings. We like Michael McIntyre a lot after seeing him here.
It's only been averaging a 0.26/1.6 Mil Viewers.
I personally don't see it coming back. It's being beaten by Celebrity Jeopardy reruns nearly x2.
-
Even weirder all of the NBC lineup is local spots only, all of the L&Os are running 45 minutes as well. Are we returning to the era of "sustaining" programs?
-
I'd say the worse sign is the fact that NBC chose to schedule The Wheel for the same Christmastime burn-off that it gave to Who's Still Standing? and Take It All roughly a decade ago.

Watched the first 10 minutes of last night's episode before switching to football. The first "commercial break," with McIntyre sending it to break, only for the show to come right back without a single ad, got a chuckle. I half-expected something out of a "Garfield" comic strip I remember seeing when I was 8-9 years old ...
"We'll be back after a word from our sponsor."
"Sasquatch."
"Welcome back!"
