In the non-amazing department, a post of mine from the GSN Originals board...Absolutely no surprise given the ratings and demos, but Sherri Shepherd's Newlywed Game has been renewed for a whopping 130 episodes. A big commitment for GSN, but they seem to have lots of coin lately.
The new season debuts in April along with Love Triangle, GSN's new talk-game-whatever show with Wendy Williams. The shows will form a block of programming with Baggage, Jerry Springer's top-rated dating circus. Could Catch 21 and 1 vs. 100 lose out? With Drew debuting on March 28, the schedule is due for a major shakeup.
Sherri isn't my favorite cuppa tea, but she hasn't been as annoying as I feared. She'll occasionally dial it back and doesn't try to dominate the show completely. The press release lists GSN's hosts in this interesting order: "Sherri Shepherd is part of a GSN talent roster that includes Drew Carey, Wendy Williams, Bill Engvall, Jerry Springer and Carrie Ann Inaba."
You'll notice Drew is number one, 1 vs. 100's Carrie Ann trails the field, and Catch 21's Alfonso Ribeiro is nowhere to be found.
