Commentary on commentary

I've been pretty rough on Game Show Garbage, because the site tends to go ballistic, bonkers and bananas on game shows that were mediocre at worst.

They've got to live up to their name, after all. But once in a while, the site comments in a more evenhanded manner on game show developments. For instance, GSG has posted a fair-minded commentary on Buzzr's recent programming moves.

The site waxes very enthusiastic about the addition of Supermarket Sweep. It's a nice plus for the schedule, though I'm personally more interested in the refresh of the diginet's B&W offerings (original Password, original Beat the Clock and The Name's the Same). GSG also likes how Buzzr is taking some of the massive age off its schedule with more recent shows on Friday night.

The site dumps on Temptation, one of the more "modern" shows coming to the schedule. This seems a requirement for the game show Interwebs, though I'll maintain my heresy that Temptation was no worse (or better) than the original Sale of the Century. Game Show Garbage hopes that Buzzr will quickly replace Temptation with something like John O'Hurley's To Tell the Truth.

That's always a possibility, though I think the real test will come with Steve Harvey's Family Feud. Could Mr. Harvey be just around the corner for Buzzr? Stay tuned, oldies fans.
