But we're supposed to recycle, right? Saves the planet or something. Anyway, folks got to talking about Chuck Woolery's Lingo returning to the schedule after a brief hiatus. I had some not so hot news from the Nielsen Company. And I also had a few good words for Chuck's successor...
Other poster: Smart move for GSN, Woolery Lingo has always performed relatively well, even in infinite reruns. Besides, Woolery is the far superior host, both pre-cohost and during. It's a shame there was something getting in the way of his return to the 2011 revival.
I like Woolery's Lingo, but he got mediocre ratings at best in his return, compared to far better numbers for Engvall. Chuck averaged 176K viewers, compared to Engvall's 341K just three hours later. Okay, Chuck was up against The Price is Right, but the ratings were still underwhelming.
By the way, I like Engvall's Lingo, too. He's always produced pretty good numbers, so I never understood why GSN canned his show after only one season. But then Chain Reaction has also gotten consistently good ratings - 350K for the 3:00PM hour in the February 25-March 3 week - and GSN dumped that show after two seasons.
