Cardboard is a game show producer's friend, even if it's not as flashy as
computerized graphics.

The “Price Is Right” taping I went to back in September took quite a bit longer
than that, mostly thanks to two extended stopdowns due to issues with the
pricing games (the monitor wasn’t working on “Card Game,” and they’d forgotten
to attach the sign to “Rat Race”).

I worked on the very short lived Dick Clark hosted (but not produced) game
show “Winning Lines”. It took over 12 hours to produce a single episode.
“Challenge Of The Child Geniuses” took longer than that… the second place
contestant literally collapsed from exhaustion after the winner was
And even with the edits they do nowadays, I believe that Fremantle can
still finish a "Price is Right" in 90 minutes. Of course, back in the Bob
Barker days, Phil and Rog took exactly an hour unless there were really bad
screwups.

I found myself in Hollywood on Saturday for the first time since pre-Covid.
I was walking in the rain from the Farmers Market to Canters Deli for
lunch, and was inundated outside CBS TV City by people wanting me to
participate in “the Trials.” The kicker? They wanted me to pay to play. I
told them
It's interesting that Australia seems to be the only country that runs land
acknowledgement statements in their TV show credits. Even the U.S. reality
comp "Come Dance With Me," which was taped in Melbourne and aired on CBS,
ran a land acknowledgement statement. And the pubcaster ABC now runs the
It's not so much the call time itself as it is the fact that the call time is
so early because 1) there are 100 contestants, and 2) they're taking a full day
to produce one hour's worth of game show.

Barris would probably have been fine with a 6:30am call time if it meant he
had stayed awake the previous night on a cocaine fueled bender

A 6:30 a.m. call time for contestants for a game show.
Mark Goodson, Merrill Heatter, Bob Quigley, Stefan Hatos, Monty Hall and
Chuck Barris are all doing the Lambada in their graves.

I’ve always wanted to like the directing style of Baz Luhrman, but I never
have. Allowing him to take six episodes to retell the same story he told in
a two hour movie makes me like him less.
Note to Hulu: Putting a note at the start of the series about how much you
appreciate and respect
The BBC's airings - or lack of airings - of the episode are pretty clear,
and I think well known amongst British Trek fans. If you search old usenet
posts, you'll see plenty of discussion about it from the time. The BBC's
Genome site is easily searchable to find all episode airings.
TNG first

To be clear the state of the BBC, Sky, and RTE archives is so bad that
nobody can confirm it didn’t eventually air. And there doesn’t seem to be
any suppression of streaming the episode in the UK or Ireland.
The more egregious statement is saying Mexican independence is an example

So it sounds like it's going to cost $50 a month according to Lachlan
Murdoch.
