Merriam-Webster's online dictionary defines flippancy as "unbecoming levity or pertness especially in respect to grave or sacred matters." Sounds like a pretty good description of this humble blog. Speaking of which, this blog looks ever more humble in the voting for About.com's Readers' Choice awards. You'll notice my shameless begging for votes in the sidebar. Sadly, to this point the begging hasn't gotten me anywhere except last place. Halfway seriously, it was a genuine honor just to be nominated. This blog's only been around for little over a year, after all. So thanks to everybody who nominated me and voted for me so far. Hey, you can still vote until March 8! (Begging, begging.) And congratulations to the other nominees, even if they're trouncing me. That's probably what I deserve, anyway.
Minute To Win It also got trounced in the latest ratings. Just a couple weeks ago the show hit its best ever numbers. But the competition has toughened and now the stunts and silliness are crashing. Meanwhile, Jeopardy is basking in its Watson glow. It may even edge ahead of Wheel of Fortune for top syndie household ratings this week.
GSN has put out the official press release about its (supposed) April schedule changes. The weekday lineup starting at 6:30 PM on April 11 will be Newlywed Game, Love Triangle, Baggage and Improv-a-Ganza. Wendy Williams gets the cushy hammock between Sherri and Jerry. We'll see if this schedule holds up or if there are more of those famous last-minute changes.
Another change on GSN concerns that poker show which used to be a network darling. Now High Stakes Poker is looking like a network orphan, and a forlorn one at that. Even new host Norm Macdonald can't understand why Gabe Kaplan got the heave-ho. Haven't seen any comments from Gabe himself, unlike the loud squawking from AJ Benza when he was shown the door.
