New family games

After supposedly surviving a near-death experience - though the source for those rumors was never identified - Hub's Family Game Night is taping its third season.

A poster on Matt Ottinger's board wrote a long report from the set. The rumors included drastic budget cuts for the show, but the poster didn't notice any major cheapening in production values. Well, Burton Richardson is gone as the announcer, replaced by a "really HOT" woman whose name escapes the poster.

The biggest change is that two families don't fight it out all hour long. Instead, up to eight different families are chosen from the studio audience to play in the various rounds. Some games have been dropped, others added. The poster generally likes the changes in the lineup of games, but personal opinions will vary, of course.

The poster also thinks Todd Newton is "feeling his oats" after the Daytime Emmy win. I think Todd always sensed his grains pretty strongly, but he may be enjoying life even more now.
