Smile away

ABC's game show reboots kicked off their new summer season last night, and Kanye West is getting lots of love on the Interwebs for his smiling appearance on Celebrity Family Feud. Smile and the whole world smiles with you, right? Some people on Twitter were impressed, anyway. Kanye West has the cutest smile was a typical tweet.

Steve Harvey and friends had plenty to grin about from the Nielsen company, too. The Feud ep drew 7.4M viewers and a 1.7 18-49 rating. The demo number was the best of the night for any broadcast show. ABC execs have probably decided on another season for CFF already.

The follow-up shows, 100K Pyramid and To Tell the Truth, also performed respectably, though not quite at the same levels. ABC seems to have more or less lucked into a solid summer night with the retro game shows. Our little genre can still hold its own on the broadcast dinosaurs, er, networks after all these decades. At least in the summer time.
