Other poster: However, Engvall's garbage Lingo replacing [GSN Pyramid]? Are you serious? That show sucks!
Disagree completely. I thought Engvall Lingo was a nice change from what had become a pretty stale version with Chuck and Shandi. Yeah, people whined about the slightly off-color humor, but Engvall was funny and pleasant as the host. People also whined about the clues but they gave an interesting extra dimension to the gameplay. The clues could be both distracting and helpful to the contestants. A clever touch.
Anyway, the show did generally decent ratings, so somebody out there liked it. But Engvall Lingo was a change from a long-established traditional version, so it was bound to take its lumps on the largely traditionalist game show Internet boards.
Another poster: Correct, this isn't the first time that the Pyramids got mixed up on [Zap2it's] schedules. Before it actually did say "The Pyramid" as in GSN's version, and now it does show Donnymid for this weekend and next...... hmmmm guess we'll just have to wait and see.
The blog has GSN pdf schedules well into January now. In fact, I previously noted the replacement of GSN's Pyramid (and Deal or No Deal) on another thread.
You can't trust the pdfs, of course, but I tend to think they're more reliable than Zap2it's revival of Donnymid. Though I certainly wouldn't mind seeing Donnymid back on the schedule somewhere. Just as with Engvall Lingo, Donnymid got trashed on the game show Internets because it dared to tinker with a traditional format. But I liked the tighter time limit.
UPDATE: Zap2it was just wrong again. It's GSN Pyramid on today.
