ABC ANNOUNCES SUMMER SHOWS (KNOCK, KNOCK ANYBODY HOME AT ABC)

"Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader" might be considered high brow when compared to
some of these ABC shows. Who is green-lighting all these DUMB shows????

the regulars
Wipeout
Bachelorette
Bachelor Pad

the un-regulars
Extreme Makeover: WEIGHT LOSS EDITION
America's Karaoke Challenge
Take The Money And Run (from the Amazing Race producers)
101 Ways To Leave A Game Show (from Wipeout & Fear Factor producers)
Expedition Impossible (13 teams of 3........another Amazing Race clone)

the unusuals
Rookie Blues (5 rookie cops.......hasn't this been done before before)
Hot Zone (military hospital in Afghanistan)
 
Rookie Blue is a second season show, having performed well last summer. Likewise, some of the other returnees have proven track records in the summer.

America's Karaoke Challenge?!? Now that there is some must see TV!
;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D

What a stupid idea! Exactly why I listed ABC in that "channels you hardly watch anymore" thread. ::)
 
As a die hard game show fan I do have to give some of the gameshow/reality shows a chance first, but I wonder if ANYTHING will bring in lower ratings than Duel.
(I liked Duel...good game show in it's first run)
 
I saw the original "101 Ways To Leave a Gameshow" from the UK. It's actually quite entertaining and should get a chance.
 
There must be 101 ways to leave a gameshow
101 ways to leave a gameshow
Just slap Pat Sajak, Jack
Punch Chuck Woolery, Lee
Rip off the wheel, Neil...

::)
 
What, no Tony Orlando and Dawn?
No Mac Davis?
No Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour? ::) ???
 
I thought the second part of that list was a joke. But some of those are returning shows. I liked "The Unusuals" and it's good to see it's coming back.
 
One way to look at Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition: It's a partial return to that show's original roots in messing with folks' physical self-esteem.

And yes, grumpy gregg75--Rookie Blue has been done before. It was a hit show in Canada that made a few waves during its summer 2010 run on ABC, reminiscent of the way Flashpoint has worked for CBS. Maybe next time, you'll post the actual links you got these tidbits from so people can decide for themselves what's 'dumb'.
 
Sorry to ruffle your feathers about a show I've never heard of and which the source hadn't heard of either. That's the purpose of the thread.......you either agree or disagree. And you sound like the grumpy one to me.

I personally hate the threads that only say....... NEWS AT 11

I hear there's some goofy-sounding way to find out facts really quick-like. Goomie? Gogurt? No, Google. Yeah, that's it. ;) ;) ;)
 
If you think Google is a website devoted to bouncy eyes... you might be a redneck. (Possible quote by now-former "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth-Grader" host Jeff Foxworthy) ::)
