Did anyone catch the 2am EST Who Wants To Be a Millionaire today 2/12. They aired the third to last segment twice and completley skipped over the second to last segment.
Instead of making a new thread, I thought I would make a general one. Anyone else notice any major screw-ups lately?
That show with that unfunny Latin comedienne.
That memory show with Wink Martindale
The Puppet Show
The New 1 vs 100
I may add Carnie to that list as well, mayn't I???Originally Posted by espnews26
I've said it before in another topic, but Instant Recall was a good idea in principle, just very poorly executed, and showed less than 2 minutes of Wink at the very end of the program, which is why I stopped watching. If the entire show was based on memory recall, and had several game elements to it, with bonus rounds and special prizes, and other types of questions besides memory based. I'm sure it could have been a success, even though the demo would have been higher, they would have still had the chance to pull in decent numbers. The way they had it, younger people thought the show was skewed too old (Quiz element, retro Host), and older people thought the show was skewed too young. (Reality, Pranks, etc...)
I agree exactly with the other posts. Also, game shows like "Instant Recall", "Carnie Wilson: Unstapled", etc. are made out like they're gonna become some big hit, yet just go off the air after 10 episodes or so. Barely any, except for the major ones, really ever stay around. I've basically learned to never really get attached to a show, because like I said, they're gone too fast.
GSN appeals to the audience of trash now. Go figure.

GREAT DAY FOR HOCKEY! PENGUINS!!
There's another thread that was posted today that certainly alludes to this, too. We're not all fans of Jerry and Sherri, despite what the numbers might say. Give them a few months of rerun abuse, and things will change - they always do. TV is a very fickle business, to say the least.
Yeah, I'd say there's a possibility that Instant Recall could have been a decent show. Maybe if it resembled more of an actual game show instead of a cheesy parody of one/hidden camera show.
As far as actual technical problems go which I think is what this thread was meant to be for, they still sometimes have aspect ratio problems (stuff airing in 16:9 instead of 4:3). Mostly with original shows. I notice this during the 3-6 pm block when I would check for Oodles questions. Stuff like that should be fixed by now.
I noticed some funky resolution stuff during Perry CS last night (white balance issues)...not sure if it was a technical glitch, or something from the tape.
It actually could have been a tape issue, since I remember a similar problem last summer. I didn't see which episode it was, but I remember this happening during a CS episode before.
I don't remember the episode number, but Becky was the contestant who played the Money Cards twice during the show.
If I can remember right, that episode when it aired back last May (I have all of October 1978) it was fine. That was probably a screw up. But I will double check just to make sure.
How about that video quality on the 8:30 MG74 this morning?I'm watching it right now, and it almost looks like an .AVI file or something, because it's very choppy. I don't remember this happening the last time they showed this episode.
BTW - Lingo just came on, and the video quality hasn't gotten any better. (Oddly enough, the commercials are playing just fine.) Fail, fail, fail....
SEE what happens when you play something to death!!!!How about that video quality on the 8:30 MG74 this morning?
