‘Shifting Gears’ Schedule Shakeup: Upsetting Update for Fans of the ABC TV Show

ABC’s new comedy TV series Shifting Gears has quickly become a new fan favorite for many viewers.

In a piece of upsetting news, we learned that tonight, ABC will not be airing a new episode of the Tim Allen-led TV show. Instead, two repeats will be airing.

In addition, yubi, we know a little more about the episode count for the freshman series.

TV Line previously reported that the “penultimate” episode will air on March 12. That leads us to believe that the season 1 finale will be airing the next week on March 19, though ABC has not confirmed this just yet.

New episodes pick up next Wednesday on February 26 with episode 7.

If the March 19 date is really the season 1 finale, that means ABC only ordered 10 episodes for season 1. It’s not very unusual for new shows to have shortened episode counts.

Melissa Peterman Isn’t Ruling Out a Reba Reboot Just Yet

Walking the Emmys red carpet last month, Ayo Edebiri briefly lost her cool at the sight of two of her fellow actresses. “Oh my God! Literally, my legs are shaking,” a slack-jawed The Bear star told the duo. “I’ve truly spent so many hours of my life with the both of you.” The stars in question? Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman, whose work together on McEntire’s early-aughts sitcom Reba has lived on for decades in syndication and streaming — so much so that the series is arguably more popular today than when it first aired on the tiny WB Network. NBC is tapping into that lingering love by reuniting McEntire and Peterman for a new Friday-night sitcom, Happy’s Place, which yubi casts Nashville icon McEntire as a woman who inherits her father’s neighborhood bar and a half-sister (Belissa Escobedo) she never knew existed. In true sitcom fashion, the two end up running the bar together, with Peterman serving as friend and sometimes foil to both.

While it’s been more than 15 years since Reba signed off the air, Peterman never stopped working on sitcoms, spending six seasons and 100 episodes on the ABC Family (a.k.a. Freeform) comedy Baby Daddy before landing a recurring gig as Brenda Sparks in CBS’s Young Sheldon, which ended its run last spring. She and McEntire also remained tight friends, with Peterman, a stand-up comedian, opening for McEntire’s music tours multiple times, co-starring with her in the Lifetime movie The Hammer, and co-hosting the first season of McEntire’s podcast Living & Learning. Should recent history repeat itself — and if the strong ratings for last week’s premiere are any indication, it just might — Peterman and McEntire will be hanging out on the Happy’s Place set until at least 2030. That is when Peterman’s not playing 25 Words or Less, hosting Person, Place or Thing, or appearing in Hallmark’s latest Christmas venture. (Yes, she’s got a show with the network coming up, too.)

I was looking at your IMDb credits, and what stood out to me was that Reba wasn’t just your breakthrough role — it was your first regular role in a TV show, period. You sort of did a reverse George Clooney and got a big hit with your first at-bat.
It’s not an understatement to say that that show changed everything for me, professionally and personally. I’ve got lifelong friends from it. Reba and I were talking about this just the other day — I was so young. It was my first job as a series regular. I just wanted to do a good job and keep my head down. I had no idea that it was going to be this thing, or that it would still be this thing how many years later. At the time, it was just “I have a job, and I like these people, and it’s fun.” Everything felt very new and different, and I was really observing and watching how things worked.

Reba did very well by the standards of the WB circa 2001, but it wasn’t a massive hit back then because the WB was such a relatively small network. Then it went into syndication and onto streaming, and its legacy seems to grow every year. In some way, it’s now bigger than it was when it was on the air. Is that how you see it? 
Oh, absolutely. The WB was a great place to be, but people then had to look for us a little bit more. It did well for them, and people really liked it, but it was absolutely bigger in syndication. And now that we’re on Netflix, I see a whole other giant wave of it. Reba and I were lucky enough to be present at the Emmys not too long ago. There was a mom who loved the show who was probably in her 30s or maybe 40, and she had two of her little girls that were 8 or 9 and were just discovering Reba on Netflix. And they drove down to where we were doing the Emmys to wait outside to say hi to Barbra Jean and Reba. And the theme song is a giant thing on TikTok.

Is there an extended friends-of-Reba universe? She does music, she does reality TV, she does acting. I can see there being parties where it’s you, Kelly Clarkson, and who knows who else. 
Oh, yeah, Reba is a bridge that brings a lot of people together. It’s so fun because she knows Dolly and Snoop. I have been lucky enough to be at places because of Reba and you’re like, “How cool is it that I’m getting to meet…?” One time, I was with her in Nashville, and she’s like, “Hey, do you want to drop by the studio with me? I’ve got to do something.” So Vince Gill walked in and I was just losing it. I said, “You need to warn people! To you that’s no big deal, but it usually is a big deal.”

Let’s talk about Happy’s Place. How did you hear about the show and was there ever a question whether you’d say yes to joining it?
After the original show ended, Reba and I remained friends. We vacationed together. Even if she was in Nashville and I was in L.A., we made an effort to take care of the friendship part. We always knew we wanted to work together again. The dream was a multi-cam because we want that camaraderie and that collaboration with our cast. A few projects would come up, but they didn’t work out. Years go by and you think, Well, is it going to happen? Are we going to get another chance at this? Reba’s always been a believer of what’s supposed to happen will, and when the time is right, it will. So I didn’t allow myself to get disappointed.

At some point, Kevin Abbott, who was our showrunner back on Reba, and his wife Julie came to us with an idea. They pitched it and I thought it was a great concept. Reba did, too. Then they wrote the pilot, then NBC liked the pilot, then we were going to make the pilot. At every step, I’d get a little more like, “Oh my God, could it happen?” And that’s where we are now. Belissa, who plays Reba’s half-sister on the show, is 26, and she said something to Reba in an interview recently: “You guys just had to wait for me to grow up so I could be in the show.” And I think that’s right, because she’s perfect for it.

I’d imagine the writers of Happy’s Place are trying to capture the chemistry you and Reba had on the first show. But your new character, Gabby, is not just a carbon copy of Barbra Jean, right? 
Well, Barbra Jean was sort of forced on Reba because of a marriage, and Gabby works with her. It’s a different relationship. Gabby is a friend, but a friend who always wants to be closer. My character is definitely a little bit quirky, but she’s more savvy than Barbra Jean. We know the fans want what they loved about Reba, which is that chemistry, and we do maintain that. It’s almost like repertory theater, where we’re characters in a new play. We’re like eight episodes into taping, and I feel like I’m getting to know Gabby now. Ultimately, the show is about these three women that are in different places in their life — different ages, different backgrounds — who all have something to learn from each other.

Before Happy’s Place, were there any discussions about doing a proper reboot or continuation of Reba, like the current resurrection of Frasier?
There was always talk of whether a reboot was possible. Sometimes it was about who owned the show or what cast members were available. But it didn’t really pan out. I think that’s when the idea of, “Well, if that’s not going to work, let’s try to figure out a way that we can still do something together.” There’s always a possibility there could be some sort of a reunion movie or a reboot, and Reba and I are hopeful that the cast of the original show will come do something with us sometime on Happy’s Place.

With Reba and Baby Daddy, you’ve been a regular on two shows that lasted 100 or more episodes. Then you were in like three dozen episodes of Young Sheldon. That’s a lot of success for a TV actor, and certainly a rarity. But in all of those shows, you carved out a role as a No. 2 or a supporting player versus the lead. Was there a point where you decided that leaning into that role made more sense than, say, doing a dozen one-season shows where you’re a lead?
A lot of it is not in your control. There’s a superpower in being the supporting person, and it’s a skill. There’s no ego in it, because the reality is if she looks good, I look better; if I look good, she looks better. That’s the secret. In an ensemble cast, if somebody has a great moment and they get the longest laugh ever, no one should be jealous. They should be like, “Oh, we all got the longest laugh ever.” No one’s counting the laughs.

Also, I’m drawn to that kind of supporting character. When you’re not the lead, you get to be a little crazier. At least that’s what I tell myself. [Laughs.]

And if you think about something like The Mary Tyler Moore Show, where one person’s name was in the title, every actor in that ensemble was just as crucial to the success as the other. They were all huge in their own way. 
Exactly. When you have great writing and you have a great cast, everyone is a star at some point.

You also got super lucky with your first movie role, and I know this because I’ve heard you talk about it on 25 Words or Less: You played Hooker No. 2 in Fargo. How did that happen?
A casting director out of Chicago, Jane Brody, had come to my college to teach a semester of auditions and cold reading. I was a senior with a theater major, and I took her class, and she remembered me when she started casting for Fargo. She brought me in to audition for the Coen brothers. I believe I went in for a different role first — I think the other lady of the evening. I got called back in weeks later and they started pairing me with other actors. I got it from taking a class in college, really.

That must have been insane for someone just starting out.
The audition was very surreal. I remember I asked Joel Coen for change for the vending machine. I didn’t know who he was when he walked in right before the audition. Obviously, I knew who the Coen brothers were, but it wasn’t like now with social media. You didn’t know people’s faces very well, so I didn’t recognize them. He gave me change for a dollar so I could get a Mountain Dew before my audition.

On the unscripted side, I started watching you regularly on Meredith Vieira’s syndicated game show 25 Words or Less during the pandemic. It has become one of my favorite things on TV. I know the pay isn’t great in daytime TV, so what’s made you do so many episodes of it?
I love watching game shows, and I love playing them. I got asked to do the first season of 25 Words in 2019, and I just clicked with Meredith. We had such a fun time. When they came back for season two, which filmed during the start of the pandemic, they said, “We want to have you on more. We think you’re a great player.” I’m so grateful they did because that show saved my brain during COVID. Just getting out of the house and getting to use my mind was wonderful. And then to watch somebody win money made me feel better during that awful time. And Meredith’s like my big sister. She gives me great advice all the time.

The relationship you built on 25 Words led to you hosting Person, Place or Thing, which is from the same syndicator. What’s the difference between hosting versus being a regular player?
What I love about hosting is that I just get to be myself. I genuinely enjoy the contestants, and my job is to make them comfortable, make them shine, and to listen. A lot of it is improv. If you let the players talk and you’re in the moment and present, something funny will just happen. The other part is, I love giving away other people’s money. That’s joyful to me. As a player, I’m probably not as enjoyable because I’m very competitive. But I don’t have to compete as a host.

The other fun thing you’ve done recently is appear in the Haul Out the Holly Christmas movies for Hallmark. Is there a third one in the works?
I believe there is a desire for Haul Out the Holly 3. It obviously won’t be this Christmas season. But that was a magical cast. I got to improvise a line with Stephen Tobolowsky, which was a dream come true. He’s the funniest human ever. But next I am a judge on Finding Mr. Christmas, which is on Hallmark+. Jonathan Bennett is the host, and it’s ten guys competing to be the next Hallmark leading man. It’s really, really fun.

What about the Melissa Peterman Hallmark Christmas movie? When are we getting your Christmas romance?
I’m thinking about that. I’m probably not the typical romantic lead, but it would be fun. I am always thinking about what I want to do with them.

Travis and Allen, 71, Always Believed There Were Two Versions of Mike and Vanessa’s Story

For years, Last Man Standing fans have debated the complexities of Mike and Vanessa Baxter’s relationship. But according to Travis and Allen, both longtime followers of the show and sitcom enthusiasts at 71, there has always been two versions of their story—one that played out on-screen and another that remained subtly woven into the background.

The Two Sides of Mike and Vanessa’s Relationship

While Last Man Standing primarily portrayed Mike (played by Tim Allen) and Vanessa (Nancy Travis) as a strong, loving couple balancing work, family, and their evolving roles as parents and grandparents, some fans believe there were deeper, untold layers to their story.

The On-Screen Version: The series showed them as a lighthearted, witty couple with differing views on politics and parenting but ultimately a rock-solid foundation.
The Unseen Struggles: Some fans, including Travis and Allen, speculate that off-camera moments hinted at unspoken challenges—differences in ambition, personal sacrifices, and the emotional toll of raising independent daughters while managing their careers.

A Fan Perspective on Their Journey

Travis and Allen, both avid TV buffs, have long discussed how the show’s writing left subtle clues about a hidden version of their relationship—one that audiences could infer through character interactions, nostalgia, and occasional dramatic moments.

“Mike and Vanessa were always meant to be together,” Travis noted, “but there were hints that their journey wasn’t as seamless as it appeared.”

Allen added, “The humor and love were real, but if you really look at the writing, you can see moments where there was more under the surface.”

Did the Show Hint at an Alternate Perspective?

Throughout Last Man Standing, the dynamic between Mike and Vanessa evolved, reflecting real-life relationships that go through phases of adaptation. While the show leaned heavily on comedy, occasional heartfelt moments suggested that behind the jokes, there was another version of their marriage—one with deeper struggles and triumphs that fans could only imagine.

The Legacy of Mike and Vanessa’s Story

Whether fans view their relationship as straightforward or layered with hidden complexities, one thing remains clear—Mike and Vanessa’s journey resonated with audiences, including longtime fans like Travis and Allen. Their dynamic remains one of the most memorable sitcom marriages, proving that great storytelling often leaves room for multiple interpretations.

What do you think? Was there more to Mike and Vanessa’s story than what we saw on Last Man Standing?

Happy’s Place showrunner Kevin Abbott confirms that season 2 will have a BIG CHANGE

Happy’s Place Season 2 Will Feature Bigger Role For That Conners Guest Star, EP Confirms: “We Get To Branch Out A Little More”

Happy’s Place showrunner Kevin Abbott confirms that season 2 will expand its cast, with certain guest stars from season 1 returning in more significant roles. The NBC sitcom follows the life of Bobbie (Reba McEntire) as she runs her late father’s tavern, the titular Happy’s Place. The show balances heartfelt moments with sharp humor, creating a rich environment in which the ensemble cast shines. With Happy’s Place season 1 focusing on establishing the show and its characters, season 2 will bring back some key guest stars in more prominent roles.

In a recent interview with ScreenRant, Abbott shared that he intentionally limited the guest cast in season 1 to prioritize the main characters’ development. However, season 2 will bring back key figures like Maritza and Gracie, allowing the show to delve more into Bobbie’s personal life. Abbott also teased that more guest stars could appear, expanding the world of Happy’s Place. Read his full comments below:

Yeah, absolutely. Season 1, I wanted to keep the guest cast small. There’s only so much real estate for our characters, and I wanted our characters to have all the dialogue and whatnot, so I wanted the audience to get to know them. Season 2, we get to branch out a little bit more, and we saw Maritza, we saw Isabelle’s mom, we saw Gracie, Bobbie’s daughter, we saw Steve, we saw Chris.

Those two, especially Maritza and Gracie, are going to come back because I love the actresses. They were phenomenal. Their chemistry with our cast was marvelous, and the backstory behind them is going to be really interesting. I think there are stories to be told between Maritza and Bobbie and Gracie and Isabella. We plan on having them back. We plan on having a couple of other guest cast hopefully too, if they pan out. Some fun people to explore other areas of our characters’ lives.

What This Means for Happy’s Place Season 2

Expanding The World Beyond The Bar

Abbott’s confirmation of the returning guest stars suggests that Happy’s Place season 2 will go deeper into the personal lives of its main characters. With Maritza and Gracie set to have bigger roles, their storylines could provide more insight into Bobbie’s relationships with those outside her core circle. Bobbie’s dynamic with her daughter Gracie (Emma Kenney), who was deployed overseas and later returns to Knoxville to surprise her mother, only to be surprised to discover that she now has an aunt, could bring new emotional depth to the show, especially as Bobbie continues to adjust to her new responsibilities.

The mention of Maritza (Justina Machado) is also exciting. Her connection with Bobbie may introduce new layers of character development and drama. Maritza is the mother of Isabella, whom Bobbie discovers is her half-sister after learning her father had an affair with Maritza. Abbott’s enthusiasm for expanding the world of Happy’s Place also leaves the door open for even more guest appearances, possibly featuring familiar faces from The Conners or other sitcoms. By bringing in new characters while still focusing on the established relationships, season 2 has the potential to elevate the show while maintaining its humor.

Our Take On The Growing Happy’s Place Cast

A Promising Sign For Season 2

One of the biggest challenges for sitcoms is finding the correct balance between core character development and introducing new faces. Happy’s Place took a smart approach in season 1 by ensuring the audience had time to connect with Bobbie and the main cast before expanding its world. Now, with season 2 on the horizon, Abbott’s plan to bring back fan-favorite guest stars indicates that the show is evolving naturally while keeping its heart intact.

By expanding Bobbie’s relationships outside the bar, Happy’s Place can explore new storylines that keep the show fresh and engaging. Whether it’s diving into Bobbie’s role as a mother, showcasing new dynamics with Maritza, or introducing additional guest stars, season 2 is shaping up to be a compelling next chapter.

‘Happy’s Place’: ‘Reba’ Reunions & More Season 2 Plans Revealed by Showrunner Kevin Abbott (Exclusive)

‘Happy’s Place’ Showrunner Reveals Season 2 Plans for a ‘Reba’ Reunion, Romance & More

Preview

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Happy’s Place Season 1 Episode 18, “Alarm Bells.”]

Happy’s Place may have wrapped its Season 1 run, but showrunner Kevin Abbott already has big plans for Season 2 which was previously announced by yubi NBC.

“The network told us that we were picked up for Season 2 the night of our last taping,” Abbott recalls. “So just before we started taping at six o’clock that Tuesday night, they called us into the room and told us.” While the opportunity to continue telling these characters’ stories certainly excites Abbott, the pick-up shifts some of the planning.

“I’ll lay out arcs to see where we can get the characters to,” he notes of his process, and while they’re “not set in stone,” he says, “we generally land around those areas [that are mapped out]. And this season, because we didn’t find out we were getting a back order and how many [episodes that would include] until after we’d shot the original 13, I didn’t really have a chance to lay all the groundwork to get to where I wanted these characters to go.”

Casey Durkin / NBC

So, where will they go next? Abbott’s already begun planting the seeds that people have seen so far this season, but they’ll go even further in Season 2.

For those less acquainted with Happy’s Place, it tells the story of Bobbie (Reba McEntire), a woman who discovers she has a secret younger sister, Isabella (Belissa Escobedo) when their father’s will is read, bequeathing them with the titular bar he once oversaw. In addition to following Bobbie and Isabella, the fabric of this show also includes bartender Gabby (Melissa Peterman), cook Emmett (Rex Linn), worker Takoda (Tokala Black Elk), and regular patron Steve (Pablo Castelblanco).

As Abbott looks ahead to the future, he teases that Season 2 will further explore arcs like “Gabby’s motherhood [journey], the Bobbie-Emmett relationship, Isabella and her backstory… Steve’s becoming a really interesting character to me. We want to find out more about Takoda’s home life.”

“We wanted to spend a lot of time in Season 1 letting the audience get to know the characters,” Abbott says, “Then we’ll get to branch out a little bit more in Season 2 now.” Some ideas have been percolating for so long that Abbott reveals, “I’ve had in my head where I want these characters to go since before we actually wrote the pilot. So we’re getting there.”

After welcoming several Reba favorites into the mix with guest roles in Season 1 for Steve Howey and Christopher Rich, Abbott promises more reunions are on the horizon if it’s up to him. “We definitely want to bring Joanna [Garcia Swisher] in. We’ve been talking to her. It’s a matter of timing for her.”

What do you think of Abbott’s plans for Bobbie, Isabella, and the rest of the gang? Let us know in the comments section, below, and stay tuned for any possible updates as Happy’s Place Season 2 takes shape.

‘The Price Is Right’ Fans Accuse Drew Carey Of Rigging The Game

Fans of The Price Is Right are slamming the show’s host and production team for “rigging” the games. Following a perfect spin, many viewers are wondering if there’s someone in the famous wheel controlling everything or if there is some other way production is rigging the whole thing. Continue reading to see why people are accusing The Price Is Right team.

The Price Is Right Contestant Wins Big On The Wheel

Normally, viewers are ecstatic when they see a contestant win. However, a recent player’s surprising win has fans asking questions about the show’s production.

In the game Showcase Showdown, contestants get to spin the big wheel. The objective is to get the highest cumulative amount closest to 100 on the wheel without going over. Each contestant gets two spins to achieve the goal of 100 (or less).

A recent contestant who appeared on The Price Is Right was able to do just that, but the perfect spin had some fans raising their eyebrows.
YouTube/The Price Is Right
“Boom!” Drew Carey yelled after the contestant, Zamone, spun the wheel and got two 50s. She raked in $1,000 and Drew was astounded, but her good luck didn’t stop there.

Zamone then got to approach the wheel for her bonus spin. The Price Is Right host explained that if she landed on 5 or 15, she’d win another $10,000. If she spun the wheel and it landed on 100, she’d get an additional $25,000.

Her spin got heartbreakingly close to 100, but it wound up stopping on 15, which was still good news for Zamone. “$10,000! $10,000!” Drew screamed as he high-fived the contestant.

Fans Question If The Game Is Rigged After Zamone’s Win

Many viewers at home were thrilled to see someone win big on the wheel, but others weren’t so sure that it was luck that got her the win.

One fan commented on Instagram, writing, “Either this entire show is rigged or just the wheel is rigged. They pointed to the frequency of “1.00 spinners on the show” as their proof for making such a claim. Another person exclaimed, “She had the PERFECT spin.” Several other commenters suggested that the wheel is being “controlled” by someone in the background.

This isn’t the first time viewers have accused the game of being rigged either. In the past, people have pointed out inconsistencies in the outcomes.

Others were excited to see someone win. “That was truly something,” one person wrote. A few viewers thought that the spin was “So fun to watch.” The Price Is Right host shared those sentiments, visibly excited by Zamone’s big win.

“Everybody wants to see people win,” he has said in the past. “People eventually started cheering for each other. It’s not my money — it’s CBS’s money, and we’re all trying to take it together.”

The Price Is Right airs weekdays on CBS. Check your local listings for details.

Drew Carey Opens Up About Last Texts With Ex-Fiancée Amie Harwick Before Her Murder

Michael Bezjian/WireImage
Drew Carey finds that talking about ex-fiancée Amie Harwick is the best way to deal with the pain of losing her.

Harwick, a famed sex therapist, died on February 15, 2020, at 38 years old. She was tragically killed after ex-boyfriend Gareth Pursehouse threw her from a third-floor balcony. He was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison in 2023.

Harwick’s relationship with Pursehouse came years before her relationship with Carey, but everyone in her life knew she feared him. She suspected he was behind online trolling she experienced during her year-long relationship with Carey.

In an interview for 48 Hours: The Final Hours of Amie Harwick, Carey recalled talking to contestants on The Price Is Right during Kids Week about Harwick’s death and forgiving Pursehouse for her murder.

“I really wanted to do it because it was high school kids and I talked to them about how I forgave the guy who murdered Amie,” he shared.

“I did it practically as soon as I could, right away,” Carey continued.

“He was mentally ill. The guy was abused as a kid and you have to be able to forgive people like that … doesn’t mean you have to hang out with them or be their friend.”

Though they’d split two years before Harwick’s death, Carey shared that he’d recently gotten back in touch with her.

“I got a text from her [that read], ‘I would love to get together with you and talk,’” he recalled.

“And I said, ‘Yeah, I would love to do that. I love you.’”

Those messages were just days before Harwick’s tragic death, leaving Carey with a feeling that there were words left unsaid.

“I never got it,” he sadly continued.

“I never had a chance to do it.”

Reporter Erin Moriarty said that Harwick did love Carey.

“That’s the big solace I get from it, is that she loved me,” he shared.

“And I’m glad I could get that message to her before she died.”

‘Jeopardy!’ Has Cringeworthy Start To New Season

Jeopardy! just began its new season and it is already off to a cringeworthy start. There was a clue that had both contestants, viewers, and even Ken Jennings in shock after learning what the correct answer was. So, what had everyone baffled and crawling in their skin? Keep reading for more details.

Jeopardy! Has Cringeworthy Start To New Season

Season 41 of Jeopardy! just kicked off and it is already raising some eyebrows. This tends to happen as some clues can be a tad controversial. Or, contestants can make them more dramatic than they are and that very well may be what going on after the season premiere. Ken Jennings is back after a brief hiatus and fans are undoubtedly excited for this. The premiere occurred right before Ryan Seacrest took over as the new host of Wheel of Fortune so it was a big night for game shows.
Ken Jennings-YouTube
In the premiere, there was a clue that had the contestants stuck. According to The Sun, the clue fell under the “Parenting” category and read as this:

“Is this OK in front of your kids? Ali Wentworth & Heidi Klum have publicly said it is for them & theirs.”

It was worth $600 and one contestant guessed “swearing” which was incorrect. The next contestant tried, “going to the bathroom” but that was also wrong. After hearing the two wrong guesses, Ken Jennings joked:

“I think I am happy not to hear a third guess on this one.”

So, what was the correct answer? It was being naked in front of children. After hearing that was the answer, fans immediately headed to social media to express their disdain for it:

• Cringe start to #Jeopardy in the Parenting category
• Nudity!!! Tonight’s first scream! #Jeopardy
• Bribing, swearing, and going to the bathroom. Perhaps CPS should check with these families

This is not the first time and it will likely not be the last where answers were so wrong that they were almost comical. The Jeopardy! Instagram has a whole compilation of them.

Months Of Fun Ahead

The new season of Jeopardy! is set for nearly a year of fun ahead. It will last for eleven months which means even more cringeworthy answers from contestants. Furthermore, there will be no more dueling hosts as it is solely Ken Jennings as Mayim Bialik is officially out. She exited last year during the strikes to stand in solidarity with the writers and actors and then was let go when it was realized they just needed one host. So, that should lend to some consistency for Season 41.

What did you think of the answer and di you find it cringeworthy or funny? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

‘Price Is Right’ Fans Want Show To Stop ‘Living In The Past’

The Price is Right fans still love the long-running game show, but many fans feel it is time for a change. Many blame Drew Carey, even through he is only the series host. However, as far as these fans are concerned, the game show is living in the past and needs to be updated for modern-day audiences.

Here is what these fans had to say about the popular game show.

Price Is Right Fans Want Show Updated

The Price is Right is still one of the most popular game shows on daytime television. However, many fans are getting tired of the same old games. They are also tired of a format that hasn’t changed in decades, and some blame host Drew Carey. These fans want change.
Instagram/The Price Is Right
A TV insider said that The Price is Right is falling behind other popular game shows because it isn’t changing enough for modern-day audiences (via U.S. Sun). The insider said that many people are starting to look at the game show as “throwback television” rather than something that fits in with today’s modern game shows.

There have been some changes in the format since its revival in 1972, but mostly it is the same show with the same games. The source said that the show relies “on mini-games and format quirks that have hardly changed in a half-century.” There are many viewers who agree, saying some games are “too tough,” “unlucky,” or otherwise “unfair.”

This includes games like Lucky Seven and 3 Strikes. Other fans hate Rat Race, and many wonder why the show has been unwilling to update the games and bring in new options.

Drew Carey Loves The Price Is Right Format

The source says part of the problem is host Drew Carey. When he took over the hosting duties from Bob Barker, it was a dream come true for him. “I do think Drew is living in the past a bit by holding onto this gig for so many years, but he loves the format and has since he was a kid,” the source said.

However, this goes against what Carey said in the past. Carey said that he watched the show growing up, although he wasn’t a huge fan at first (via TODAY). “I kind of looked down on it, honestly.” With that said, he has fallen in love with game show hosting. He has now been on the show for 18 seasons and counting.

“Drew says he wants to keep this job for the rest of his career, and when you just look at the ratings, he’s still one of the biggest draws on daytime TV in the entire country,” the source said. As a result, things might not be changing anytime soon.
