[TV orNotTV] Johnny's car in Jay Leno's Garage

2020-07-19 Thread 'David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV
The video is new, but I can't help feeling I've seen Jay do something about the 
car Johnny Carson drove in the 1982 Johnny Comes Home TV special.  (A 1939 
Chrysler Royal).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz5cJNpIso8
I believe Jay is doing his own camera setups in this one, as the shop/show is 
still operating under minimal staffing due to coronavirus and the 
cinematography is more static than usual.

I'm mostly with you, but I think the edit that aired did Banks a disservice
in regards to her hosting, even if watching her emotional reaction was
riveting. From what I hear, tapings of the current edition of Press Your
Luck are pretty linear but it's nowhere near the live-to-tape of days gone
by, and it felt to me like we were seeing a moment that the film actress in
her thought would end up on the cutting room floor.

I would have sworn that I heard at one point that Alex gets one card with
the clue and correct response and another card with the wagers and what
their score would be if they get the question right/wrong, so, if that was
the case, they really should have known that it could have happened.

It should be pointed out that in prime time television today, the star gets
an executive producer credit whether or not s/he is actively involved in
the show or just hitting their marks, saying their lines, taking the money
and running.  That is true for most of ABC's Summer Fun and Games block.
With the exception of "Celebrity Family Feud" (a decade hosting the show
and Steve Harvey hasn't asked for an EP credit), all of the hosts are what
I've called in the past "trophy producers."  On "Holey Moley," it's Steph
Curry, although Tassitore, Riggle and Mai may be asking for EP credit next
year.  And it seems to me Adam Scott doesn't have the credit on "Don't"
(but Ryan Reynolds does, and supposedly he's the show's creator).  In
addition, the hosts' production company gets its vanity card at the end of
the show (in Banks' case, that would be Brownstone Productions, the only
other card on "Press" besides the Fremantle logo).  Whether the hosts have
that much input into the individual shows is hard to say, although I've
always suspected that Anthony Anderson is the main reason "To Tell the
Truth" is not being done the way Bud Collyer or Garry Moore did it.

Q1: Does the host have to know?
A1: No, but if she doesn't know, she has to get it set up for the reveal.
When Ryan loses his mind because he thinks he's crossed the threshold, it's
Banks's job, as host, to get everyone wrangled and set up the first
million-dollar win or close-but-no-cigar. But that's not what Banks does.
She lets them go nuts while doing whatever she was doing. That's the flaw.

I go back to the first Jeopardy regular season tie, where the word was that
no one from the show appeared prepared for it. That's an *EPIC* fail. You
know what the wagers are. There are eight possible outcomes. A smart middle
schooler could design an Excel spreadsheet to show what could happen. How
the hell does a 30-plus-year-old show not know what to do?

(sidebar: I know the show knows the wagers going into the FJ clue. Does
anyone see, in real-time, what the contestants are writing? I'd have to
assume the control room does with a judge in there to confirm a curveball
answer)

The best equivalent off the top of my head is this: Prime Time TPIR, with a
pair of six-figure showcases. Contestant 1 overbids. Contestant 2 responds
by running over to the doors as if he's already won. Drew Carey doesn't
immediately wrangle him back to the lectern for the reveal. That's on Carey.

Q2: Is it different because they're playing against the house?
A2: It's not that they're playing against the house: it's that the big
selling point of the second half of the game is getting to $500K. If he's
at $150K, no one's thinking two Teslas are $350K. But people definitely
think two Teslas could be $190K ($95K each).

One of our local Gray stations (WQCW) has been simulcasting the Saturday 
premiere for several months now, which, I guess, is allowed. (Fwiw, Circle – 
3.3 on the WSAZ lineup – is on Suddenlink here in Charleston, but not on

Re: [TV orNotTV] Ratings: ‘Celebrity Family Feud’ Drops to Season Low, Still Leads ABC to Easy Win

2020-07-19 Thread Joe Hass
She did, but not because she was the host.

For those who didn't watch, here's the overly simple set up: in the end
game, Ryan had $310K with one spin to go. Avoid the whammy, and he goes
home with the cash. *But*, if he can get to or past $500K, he gets upgraded
to $1 million. The biggest cash value on the board was $100K, so Ryan
would've had to hit something with an additional spin to keep their shot at
a million alive. But sitting in the bottom left corner was "His & Hers
Teslas", which is what Ryan hit.

Let me take you back to the Tomarken-era PYL. When it came down to a final
spin to come from behind, Peter would tell the contestant beforehand if
there was no way they could win without an additional turn. The producers
knew how much each of the prizes was (I'm not 100% sure how Tomarken knew:
whether he had a list or if the producers communicated it to him). If there
were a prize with a higher value than the highest cash value on the board
that could win the game (usually a $6K car), Tomarken would identify it.

Back to modern-day: the producers knew that the Teslas wouldn't have done
it. They should've point-blank told Banks (I've read she wears an IFB,
which is the kind of shit that pisses me off) he needed something with an
additional spin. By not doing that, it was the television equivalent of a
bait and switch. They left Banks out to dry.

And who's one of the executive producers of the show? Who would be
responsible for how the show operates and should've ensured that having a
contestant think they won a million but didn't wasn't a possible outcome?
That'd be one Elizabeth Banks.

I appreciate people like drama. That wasn't drama: that was toying with
people's emotions. And that's bullshit.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Turner opts out of Champions League deal

2020-07-19 Thread Joe Hass
When Turner got the Champion and Euro leagues, they made the depressing
decision to put almost all of it on their BR Live OTT service. And I'm
reasonably confident that it not only didn't work out, but it didn't work
out to a level that they were willing to walk away rather than lose more
cash. And I'm sure Uefa, given the opportunity to put their product on a
wider platform, were more than happy to let Turner walk.

There's a legendary story about (IIRC) the 1997 World Series. NBC had the
rights to it. But the ratings hadn't hit the guarantees, despite it going
seven games. And whoever was in charge of NBC Sports then said something
along the lines of "If HGTV called me to offer to take Game 7, I'd take
that call."

[TV orNotTV] Re: Country music network Circle to launch with 16 shows, including ‘Opry Live’

2020-07-19 Thread 'Bob Jersey' via TVorNotTV
This network still haven't arrived on either system here, but I was able to 
catch the Opry on the 'toob last night.

Reba looked like a million bucks (as usual), Vince Gill looked like s__t 
warmed over (his partner Amy Grant just had heart surgery), no crowd (of 
course), a band of only three (no drummer), plus host Bobby Bones and 
Kelsea Ballerini vamping where TV would have commercials, shouting out to 
all the "socialites"...

Re: [TV orNotTV] Amazon and Roku in standoff with HBO Max and Peacock

2020-07-19 Thread 'Dave Sikula' via TVorNotTV
I'm glad the downloading worked for you. I've tried to install HBO Max onto 
my Fire Stick three times and come up empty each time.

Oh, well.
