If there are affiliates running "Wheel of Fortune" at 7:30, they may complain that it's not a 10 p.m. show (and that's still a thing, although its stablemate "Jeopardy!" seems to have taken over its ratings position). However, "Password" is doing surprisingly well at 10 p.m., although that could be more its "AGT" lead-in (or, as much as many of us may not to admit, the presence of Fallon).
