Debutante ball

Weekly game show blogger Aaron is a specialist in debut dates. He collects all the info so we don't have to. The faux tweets have already noted a few fall debuts for game shows, but Aaron offers a lot of dates in a convenient package:



September 3

The Game of Life

Scrabble Showdown

Hasbro, er, Hub network. Special previews before the "official" debuts on September 17.



September 5

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire

Meredith returns, of course. Lots of theme shows and a teensy-weensy tweak to gameplay, as Carrie Grosvenor recounts.



September 12

Family Feud

Now taped in Steve Harvey's Atlanta.



September 19

Wheel of Fortune

Jim Thornton takes over as announcer after the endless search due to Charlie O'Donnell's sad death.

The Price is Right

George Gray takes over as announcer after the endless search due to Rich Fields' sad firing.

Let's Make a Deal

Wayne Brady has kept the show going for three seasons now.

Jeopardy

Alex Trebek has kept the show going for centuries now.



One more fall debut that Aaron doesn't mention: Hub's Family Game Night kicks off its new season on September 2. Todd Newton is turning up all over the place. By Hub standards the show gets pretty good numbers, like 137K viewers for its August 5 episode.
