WXYZ found an even lamer show than "The List" to air at 7:30 weeknights

[MWmetalhead]

Does 7 make programming decisions locally, or does corporate dictate daytime programming decisions?

The new Pictionary game show is brutally awful. Makes "The List" look compelling by comparison!

Perhaps 7 is trying to set a new ratings low point for itself in the 7:30 time slot!

Scripps does the programming for their syndication if I'm not mistaken.

I'm going to stick with Jeopardy at 7:30.

It's as if 7 isn't even trying to be successful in that time slot.

As a game show fan who hasn't actually seen Pictionary yet, what's awful about it?

[MWmetalhead]

Watch and see. They probably could use the viewers!

The format of the game sucks, the host sucks, the set sucks, and there is no studio audience.

[radioandtventhusiast]

I looked at some of the reviews on IMDB, many people don't like host Jerry O'Connell's dance he does throughout the show and also find him annoying at times.

With no studio audience, it might be due to Covid, but then again, most shows by last fall went back to studio audiences anyway.

I can think of one worse, back in 2007 at or around that time slot there was a game show that lasted maybe 5 episodes called National bingo night,
it was hosted by the bald guy from Extreme makeover home edition.

Was super boring.

Pictionary is on WOTV 9AM to 10AM replaced The Real in West Michigan. ICrime is now a full hour at 2PM to 3PM which replaced The List on Fox17 The List didn't go 5 days week until fall of 2021 at 12PM then this year at 2PM. Scripps is going to give TV stations Scripps News segments in the fall either for 30 minutes or a full hour there testing it in some markets this summer that started on Mon from TV News Check article. I only watched The List a couple of times I didn't like it was glad that it got canceled now only if TEGNA would cancel that dreaded show DBL which sucks as well on WZZM at 7:30PM.

Seems that The Fox O&O test run the game shows in Detroit then the rivals pick it up when they go national, why doesn't Fox pick up the game shows seems that 2PM hour is just a repeat of Extra & Access Hollywood in that hour why didn't pick up Pictionary or 25 Words Or Less from a few years ago in that 2PM to 3PM timeslot?

Guess what? Access Hollywood will be on 7 this fall in September @ 7:30pm. Don't know on what Monday in September, though.

Wise move on WXYZ's part!

Starting with iCarly, Jerry O'Connell always came across like an odd fit on everything I seen him in. Like who ran the casting call?

Are you getting him confused with Jerry Trainor?

Yes apparently. I thought it was the same person.

Scrrips is also picking up Access Hollywood on Fox17 I saw a promo for it on Sunday while watching USA VS Spain Men's Basketball didn't say what time, guessing 7:30PM replacing You Bet Your Life which gets moved back to the afternoon first airing or late night as they aired the second airing at 1AM this year last year was 7:30PM.

Access Hollywood ends a 19-year run on LIN/Media General/Nexstar Wood TV/WOTV was largely at 7:30PM fall 2001 to 2016 as WZZM had Access Hollywood from 2000 to 2004 was on the mornings in 2000 lead out for Access Hollywood for 3 years was ET which WZZM took ET's sister show The Inside in fall of 2004. How LIN got Access Hollywood back as WOTV aired Access Hollywood in fall of 99 the first time I think was cleared in West Michigan was fall of 99. Maybe it was on in 97 or 98 I could be wrong.

I had a feeling that Access Hollywood would move as WOTV moved Access Hollywood from 5:30PM 2019 to 2022 to 4PM this past year. Nexstar wanted a 2-hour block for Family Fued first hour on WXSP the second hour on WOTV 6PM to 8PM. Never understood why Access Hollywood was on a 1 day delay on WOTV when it was at 5:30PM.
