Primetime TV Review: “Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune”

TV Review!

“Celebrity Wheel of Fortune” on ABC Review by Eva 1/11/2021

Pat Sajak and Vanna White have finally made it to prime time with Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.

The game works the same as the daytime version, except they give away a lot more money, since the celebrities are playing for charity. The show is more relaxed with the celebrities, and Pat Sajak and Vanna White get to show their personalities more. The audience at home also has a chance to win ten thousand dollars by solving a puzzle.

I think this show will be a strong addition to the ABC game show lineup because it is very funny and fun to watch. I give this show 5 out of 5 stars.

Primetime TV Review: “Remedy”

TV Review!

“Remedy” on Ovation Review by Eva 1/11/2021

I wanted to watch Remedy because I like medical shows. Ovation offers a variety of shows on TV because they buy the rights to programming from Canada. The latest Canadian show they’re airing is called Remedy.

The show centers around Griffin Connor (Dillon Casey), who returns home after two years of having no contact with his family. Griffin dropped out of medical school because he was a drug addict who was accused of writing prescriptions for himself, using his father’s prescription pad. The charges were never proven, so they were dropped.  When he returned home, he was working as a bouncer at a strip club. Griffin tried to keep a customer from touching one of the strippers, and he accidentally stabbed the guy while trying to take it away from him. Griffin and the man were taken to the hospital, where his father, Allen Connor (Enrico Colantoni) is the chief of staff. Griffin’s sisters Sandy Conner (Sarah Allen) work there as a doctor, and his other sister, Melisa Connor (Sarah Canning) works as a nurse. The family decided to get Griffin a job as an orderly at the hospital to help his court case.

I enjoyed this show because it’s different to see how a family’s life is affected by working together. I like how the show lets people see both the work and personal lives of this family. The show is serious but can be very funny at times. My favorite part of the episode was the scene of the family eating together at the hospital cafeteria and discussing family problems with each other, as well as joking and laughing with each other. The show airs on Ovation on Friday at midnight Eastern time.

I really think that if you like medical shows, or family shows, you’ll enjoy this show very much. You should watch it if you have Ovation as part of your channel lineup. I give this show a 5 out of 5 stars.

Primetime TV Review: “Name That Tune” (2021)

TV Review!

“Name That Tune (2021)” on Fox Review by Eva 1/9/2021

I was excited to learn that the game show Name that Tune was getting an update and would air on Fox. Broadway, film, and television star Jane Krakowski hosts the show and musician and former American Idol judge Randy Jackson directs the band and singers.

In the first round of the game, two contestants play against each other guessing songs from topics they choose from a list. The second round is called Bd A Note where contestants bid against each other to see in how many notes they can guess a song. If the contestant who wins the bet can guess the song, he wins money. If the contestant is unable to guess the song the other contestant gets ten notes to guess the song and if they are correct they win the money. The person who has the most money at the end of the two rounds goes to the Golden Medley round where they can win $ 100,000 if they guess seven songs correctly. Jane and Randy have great chemistry together and are truly rooting for the contestants to win the game.

I think the show is fun to watch and you will have fun playing along with the game to see if you can guess the songs along with the contestants. I think this will be a big hit and one of the strongest games in the Fox game show line up. I give the show a 5 out of 5 stars you will really enjoy this show.

Primetime TV Review: “The Chase”

TV Review!

“The Chase” on ABC Review by Eva 1/9/2021

I was very excited when I saw the commercial for the game show The Chase because I am a big fan of the previous version of the show which still airs in reruns on the Game Show Network (GSN) and is also streaming on Hulu.

Three contestants take on a trivia genius who is The Chaser. One at a time each contestant builds up cash in the cash builder round. Once the cash builder round is complete, then the contestant takes on the Chaser. The Chaser offers the contestant a low offer for the contestant to start the Chase closer to the bank or the contestant could start the Chase in the middle of the board and take the money they earned toward the bank or if he takes the chasers high offer the contestant risks giving the Chaser an easier way to catch them. The contestant and the Chaser answer trivia questions head to head and if the contestant gets the question right they take their money closer to the bank. If the Chaser also gets the question right he also moves down the board. If the contestant is caught by the Chaser the contestant is eliminated from the game and he loses his money. The other two contestants continue the game and whichever contestants beat the Chaser they bank their money and go to the Final Chase where they take on the Chaser one more time for the chance to take home the money in the bank.

This new version of the game is hosted by Sarah Haines and the Chasers are Jeopardy! champions Ken Jennings, James Holzhauer, and Brad Rutter I enjoyed the show very much, but I would have enjoyed it more if the show had a better host because Sarah Haines is too serious to host a game show. She doesn’t appear to care if the contestants win or not because she doesn’t cheer them on or support them. I hope that in future episodes she loosens up and starts to be more supportive of the contestants. I advise you to watch the previous version of The Chase and you will notice the difference between the two shows. I give this show 4 out of 5 stars

Primetime TV Review: “The Hustler”

TV Review!

“The Hustler” Review by Eva 1/7/2021

The Hustler is the latest game show on ABC, but it is a bit different than other game shows because it mixes trivia questions with some detective work.

There are five contestants but one of the five knows all the answers to the trivia questions because the questions are based on that contestant’s personal likes, dislikes, and habits. The contestant that has all the answers and controls the game is known as the Hustler. The Hustler must hide the fact that they are the Hustler from the other contestants in the game. The five contestants answer trivia questions to build up cash and the Hustler eliminates two of the contestants and then the final three contestants must decide the identity of the Hustler if the identity of the Hustler is guessed correctly then the contestants that figures out the identity of the Hustler they split the money between them if only one contestant figures out the identity of the Hustler then they go home with all the money. If neither of the contestants guess the identity of the Hustler then the Hustler goes home with all the money.

I enjoy watching game shows and I thought this one was interesting and different because it is a mystery mixed with trivia and I had fun trying to figure out who the Hustler was but, as game show fans know, the people watching mist want to play along and secondly they must want a particular contestant to win in order to keep watching the game. I had fun playing along with the game, but I wasn’t rooting for any particular contestant to win the game. I think this is a big problem for this show because I don’t want to keep watching the show. I think I will watch this show and hope that it gets better but I think this is the weakest of the games in the ABC lineup. and I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

MORE INFORMATION:

NEW CRAIG FERGUSON-HOSTED GAME SHOW, ABC’S ‘THE HUSTLER,’
CHALLENGES VIEWERS TO HONE THEIR DETECTIVE SKILLS
ABC announced today the network has picked up the mind-bending, new game show series, “The Hustler.” Hosted by Emmy® Award-winning game show host, actor, writer, comedian and ABC alum Craig Ferguson, “The Hustler” breaks the game show mold by featuring one player who secretly already knows the answers. Don’t be fooled. Just because they have a leg up doesn’t mean they’ll be taking home the prize. “The Hustler” is set to begin production later this fall, with an airdate to be announced at a later date.
Each episode of “The Hustler” will follow five contestants as they collaborate to answer a series of trivia questions, with the goal of building a collective prize pot that increases with each correct answer. The catch? One of the five contestants, the Hustler, already knows the answers but must keep their identity a secret in order to have a shot at winning the grand prize. Throughout each episode, two contestants are anonymously eliminated by the Hustler, leaving three remaining contestants – the Hustler and two others, who must collectively decide who they think the Hustler is. If they are right, they share the prize pot. If the two contestants are wrong, the Hustler goes home with the full cash reward.
“It’s rare and exciting to have a mystery-based game show that employs viewers and contestants to tap into their sleuth skills,” said Rob Mills, senior vice president, Alternative Series, Specials and Late Night, ABC Entertainment. “This fun, new format is the perfect addition to our dynamic game show lineup, and Craig’s unmatched wit and humor make him the ideal host. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome him back to ABC.”
“Studio Lambert and format creator Richard Bacon are incredibly excited to partner with ABC on ‘The Hustler,’” said Studio Lambert CEO Stephen Lambert. “With Craig in the driver’s seat, the comedic beats of this game are very much to the fore. We think ABC viewers will laugh a lot but also be shocked and surprised by the twists of this game, which invites contestants and viewers to play detective, solving a whodunit or, in this case, a whoisit.”
“The Hustler,” which is produced by All3Media-backed production company Studio Lambert, is an original format created by British TV and radio host Richard Bacon, who serves as an executive producer along with Studio Lambert company founder Stephen Lambert, executive vice president of Studio Lambert USA Jack Burgess, creative director Tim Harcourt and Susan House.

Kevin makes the mistake of telling Phyllis that he persuaded Gloria not to blackmail the man who was embezzling money from Newman Enterprises. Kevin also tells Phyllis that he thinks Victoria found out what was happening because the man suddenly retired and the money was put back into the Newman Enterprises account a few days later. Phyllis promises Kevin a lot of money if he will help her blackmail Victoria so she can get the money she needs to pay back the loan Nick gave her. Adam argues with Nate because Nate doesn’t think it’s a good idea to take Chelsea home. Adam gets Victor to hire a nurse and get equipment to convert the den of the penthouse into a hospital room for Chelsea.
