Carrie Ann carried out

Alex Davis just posted revised GSN schedules at BuzzerBlog and they show Carrie Ann Inaba's 1 vs. 100 losing its weekday slots starting February 21. Richard Karn's Family Feud takes them over, resulting in an absurd six-a-day for the smiling Home Improvement guy. That's obviously a placeholder until Drew Carey arrives with his Whose Line remake on March 28.

1 vs. 100's numbers have steadily weakened, so this is no real surprise. I still think the show could get a second season, but only with a return of Bob Saget as host and a hundred-grand top prize.

Also, network Deal or No Deal takes over the 7:00 PM hour. Catch 21 moves up to 5:00 PM to accommodate Karn's 4:00 PM hour. Alfonso Ribeiro's card frolics have shown surprising strength at 4:30 PM, so maybe blackjack ain't dead yet. Syndie Deal or No Deal now only gets one run at 5:30 PM. Its numbers haven't been too swell, much like Carrie Ann's.

Personally, I like both 1 vs. 100 and syndie Deal. But in this business The Nielsen Company reigns.
