Cue the fanbo.....excuse me, superfans proclaiming this as the end of the world as we know it.
(pushes glasses up nose) Actually, "superfans" is the term the current version of
TPIR uses to refer to its most ardent fans -- Barker's "loyal friends and true" wouldn't have made sense in the Carey era -- so by that definition, the superfans should be very pleased with this announcement. (derisively snort-laughs, pushes glasses up nose again)
So they
are just pulling from the FAST channels, except instead of Barker episodes from the '70s, it's episodes from the Carey
Price channel.
I wish them luck... the fact that their own promo acknowledges they've tried
Celebrity Name Game on Buzzr before would seem to indicate that they should be aware no shows from the 21st century have had any real impact on the channel (with the exceptions of
Temptation, which is a weekend morning throwaway, and PAX-era
Supermarket Sweep, which feels exactly the same as the '90s version of the show). But this scheduling change doesn't require them to spend any extra money, so that's a plus, I suppose.
