2022 Television Predictions

here's my TV predictions for 2022 for both National and DFW (my local TV market).

The Goldberg's current season will be the last, after recent news of Jeff Garlin quitting the show earlier this week.
Murray Goldberg was young when he died. The show might address this. I hope not, since that would be sad. Pops was old so it was sad but not that unexpected.

On the other hand, the 80s should be over by now. The show has made no effort to relive the 80s in chronological order. Any event from the 80s has happened whenever they wanted to do it.
 
We rarely sit through commercials

While some "on-demand" programs forbid using fast forward at least during commercial breaks, much of the programming will allow you to forward through everything.
With TiVo I can do this. I like commercials so I will watch each one once, then skip over it once I've seen it. I don't use the TiVo feature that skips commercials entirely and I'd miss a bunch of TV specials if I didn't find out about them ahead of time.

That is true and some things they mentioned actually happens in the 90's and not the 80's. And Adam is a senior but he graduated in 1994 in reality.
 
Ken Jennings edges out Mayim Bialik as permanent daytime "Jeopardy!" host--but Bialik will be guest host of the daytime version several times a year. And "Celebrity Jeopardy" will return as a short-term summer run on CBS (with Bialik as host of CJ). One of the Celebrity Jeopardy specials will have all three contestants be Bialik's former "Blossom" co-stars (e.g., Jenna Van Oy).

CBS and Litton will also team up to revive a kids' version of J!, with Bialik as host, to air as part of CBS's Saturday morning "Dream Team" E/I lineup.

White Castle's NFT/Doodle Labs/"Sliderverse" campaign to commemorate its centennial will include a Super Bowl ad mocking the longtime McDonalds/Burger King fast food wars (including knocking both Ronald McDonald and the BK King in a single spot).

"Primetime Celebrity Jeopardy" might happen and probably on ABC, but I think it should be on NBC so that we get a special "Best of Celebrity Jeopardy" with clips from all those SNL bits before the pilot episode of "Primetime Celebrity Jeopardy". Daytime Jeopardy already has teen and kids tourneys every now and then, so there's no need to bring back the debacle known as Jep!, and if somehow Jep! happens, the debacle known as Wheel 2000 would have to come back with it as Wheel 2100 or Wheel 3000. If Jep! comes back, I think Miranda Cosgrove from CBS's Mission Unstoppable would host, and the new Wheel kids version would have Liza Koshy from (probably the last incarnation of) Double Dare host and turn the letters.
 
I wouldn‘t bet a penny on CBS running Jeopardy in prime time. ABC as the owner of the biggest station group for Jeopardy has the inside track (yeah, I know, corporate synergy and such, but business is business and there’s a reason ABC has shelled out for the GOAT, upcoming college special, etc).

None of this is happening.😆
 
Even in the latest negotiations of renewing Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, ABC wants a say in who becomes the permanent host of J!. That alone will likely play into if and when ABC wants to do more primetime J! specials going forward.

So Ken gets the week and Mayim gets the weekend plus a few extra episodes, sounds like a good compromise!
 
it’s reading the tea leaves, but so far this season only Mayim has been introduced as “the host” of Jeopardy. Ken has been “hosting Jeopardy.” That could be a not so subtle hint.

That said…there is no “weekend” Jeopardy for either to host.

True. There is also no weekend Wheel of Fortune or Family Feud, but there is the celebrity versions, which air Sunday Nights (WOF in Winter, Feud in Summer). So what I meant to say by weekend Jeopardy is the celebrity version.
 
Okay, my turn:

Tyra Banks is out as host/executive producer of Dancing With The Stars and Chris Harrison and Maria Menounos are in (Harrison back on ABC, Menounos a DWTS alum herself)

The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon will start having guest hosts for the first time since the Johnny Carson era

After decades of resistance, Family Feud will finally go from $5/point if no winning family reaches 200 points in Fast Money to $10/point

Penalties will return to the current Supermarket Sweep reboot, including for cart collisions and knocking over the cameramen (and it has happened a couple of times)

Natalie Morales will occasionally sub for Norah O’Donnell on the CBS Evening News

Maria Sansone returns to national television as she joins People (The TV Show)

HERE IN ATLANTA: Continuing cutbacks at WSB-TV will force veteran reporters Richard Belcher and Mark Winne into retirement after many decades

And not television-related: Stacy Keibler (formerly of WWE and one-time girlfriend of George Clooney) returns to the spotlight by joining Cameo
 

Here is one leading into 2022

Wendy McMahon, president and co-head of ViacomCBS’s CBS News and Stations unit, has sent a letter to Nielsen objecting to the audience measurement firm’s plan to include broadband-only homes in its local ratings.



The complaint adds to a chorus of criticism for Nielsen, which is already under fire for undercounting viewers and under pressure from an industry that is accelerating the search for alternatives to Nielsen, which has long dominated the ratings business.


Also: In New Error, Nielsen Admits It Left Out Some Out-Of-Home Viewing


As more consumers turn to streaming, Nielsen has been forced to make adjustments in the ways it measures viewing. One change is to include homes that have broadband internet service only, instead of TV households.

I kind of forgot Jeopardy runs during the day in the Central and Mountain zones. Of course in the Eastern time zone it's Prime Time Access Jeopardy, paired with Wheel of Fortune. I think Bialik has the gig IF Call Me Kat doesn't renew. The original plan was for her to do prime-time specials with Richards hosting the main show. Otherwise it may be Jennings with Bialik doing tournaments (she hosted the Professors tournament) and whatever prime time stuff happens.
 
It’s an interesting 🧐 one. Guests (and encores)!seem to have worked for Kimmel. Encores seem to have worked just fine for Fallon. Two approaches that both seem to satisfy their respective networks.
