“Wheel of Fortune” Fans Sent into a Spin! The Long-Dreaded Change Has Arrived, Leaving Viewers “Dizzy and Overwhelmed.” The Fear They Held Just Became Reality!

Wheel of Fortune fans feel ‘dizzy and overwhelmed’ by new change they were ‘afraid would happen after Pat retired’

FANS of the popular game show aren’t impressed by the new season, with many sharing their complaints online.

The Wheel of Fortune made a triumphant comeback earlier this month, with veteran WoF host Vanna White joined by new host Ryan Seacrest.

Ryan took over from Pat Sajak, who retired from the show recently, with the shakeup leaving fans excited for a new era.

But now it seems that the new era isn’t living up to the expectations of longtime viewers and fans, with complaints appearing on social media as fans discuss their controversial opinions.

On September 9, Ryan took over from Pat when season 42 of the hit game show made a comeback on television screens up and down the country.

But just a few days into the new series airing, fans have shared several major complaints, including how they feel the new season is “too over the top”.

“Does anyone besides me feel like the entire new WoF is just over the top?” asked one fan on Reddit who started up a new discussion in the Wheel of Fortune forum.

They continued, “From the set, to the contestants outfits, and even the contestants’ behavior. Especially the male contestant tonight. To me, it’s almost like they are actors. It feels unnaturally ‘extra’.”

Fellow WoF fans were quick to weigh in, with one writing, “Yes for sure.

“I was afraid this would happen after Pat retired. Wheel of Fortune is following the trend of overproduction and fake emotion.

“Tonight’s episode especially, you feel dizzy and overwhelmed from all the cuts and noises from contestants. You can barely follow the puzzle.”

Ryan Seacrest called out for ‘annoying’ habit as Wheel of Fortune fans say he’s ‘trying too hard to seem relaxed’
The commenter concluded, “Maybe the ratings don’t support this, but I’ve always preferred authentic emotions. You don’t want snoozefest contestants, but authenticity is nice.”

A second person then added, “I was just thinking the same thing. Seems like they are Family Feuding the show up.

“Used to love Family Feud, but now the show is just set up for people to answer with a dumb answer so Steve Harvey can react and make a joke with an over-the-top contestant.”

‘IT FEELS LIKE AN ’80S GAME SHOW’

“It feels like an 80’s game show. So cheesy,” added a third.

Wheel of Fortune must-know staff

Wheel of Fortune’s universe is more vast than fans realize. Here’s a look at the key staffmembers of America’s most iconic puzzle-based game show:

Ryan Seacrest: host, 2024-present

Vanna White: co-host, 1982-present

Maggie Sajak: social media correspondent, 2021-present

Steve Schwartz, supervising producer of over 30 years and now co-executive producer

“I wanted to love it but the contestants do feel like actors and after 2 nights of it, I’m done. And I was a huge Wheel fan,” said a fourth.

TRYING TOO HARD?

This comes as fans accused new host Ryan of “trying too hard” when fans noticed that as he got to know the players, he kept his hands in his suit pockets.

Fans took to X calling out the tendency, some saying he was “trying too hard” to seem “relaxed.”

“Get your hands out of your pockets, Ryan,” one X user wrote during tonight’s episode.

“The set sucks. And what’s this with his hands in his pockets???” wrote another.

‘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’ makes a VERY SAD announcement and fans criticizes it.

‘The Price is Right’ Fans Notice Games Being Pushed Out

Is ‘The Price is Right’ Phasing Out These Games?

The Price is Right via YouTube

Is The Price is Right starting to phase out certain games? Some fans certainly suspect as much.

It has been months since we’ve seen certain games. For example, one Reddit user noticed that TPIR doesn’t use the game Safe Crackers very anymore. In Safe Crackers, two prizes are shown to the contestant inside a huge safe on set. One of the prizes has three digits for its price. The three numbers are shown to the contestant in the form of a combination on the safe. The player must put the numbers in the correct order to guess to price and win the prizes in the safe. After picking the numbers, they have to turn the handle to see if the safe opens. If it does, they win.

“First thing I want to say is that it’s been two months since Safe Crackers was played and something is telling me that they plan to retire it,” the Reddit user said.

“I recall seeing it in use this season, so who knows if they’re winding down its use?” a fan replied.

“Most likely a props storage issue. They have very limited storage space, and Safe Crackers is a massive set to have to transport from the storage facility 2 miles away,” another said.

However, one fan wrote that Safe Cracker was “definitely on recently.”

The second thing that the original Reddit poster pointed out was that the train and tugboat aren’t used anymore when it is time to make a bid. The tugboat and train were added to the game show in May 1984 when Bob Barker hosted. The models would simply ride out on a train and show off the item up for bid as the other one drove the vehicle. Sometimes it was a boat, sometimes it was a train.

Since Drew Carey has taken over as host, the apparatuses do not seem to be used as much. Instead, the models will show off the products behind curtains or simply on the stage. But, they have been used a few times during the Carey era.

“They should have gotten rid of the train a long time ago, to be honest,” a Reddit user said.

“The tugboat is really old. I have seen the train reappear a few times recently, which found me surprised,” said another.

“If you ever watch old episodes with Bob, it’s amazing how frequently they used the train. Seems like it was used two or three times during a week’s worth of episodes,” another wrote.

The reason for the train and tugboat being discontinued could be due to an error that happened earlier in February. The contestants bid on an espresso machine, a thermal programmable coffee maker, and a coffee bean grinder by Cuisinart that were being pulled out on a flatbed by The Price is Right train.

The train flew onto the stage and came to a sudden stop. As announcer George Grey revealed the prizes, one of the models showed them off. As the camera panned back to Carey and the contestants to start bidding, off-screen a loud crash happened. All of the prizes had fallen off the train and broke into little pieces.

“Won’t be seeing the train again,” Carey quipped.

The Price is Right has had over 75 games since its inception in 1972. Some of the most popular ones are Plinko, Dice Game, Cliff Hangers, and Hole in One.

Rex Linn Says He and GF Reba McEntire Were ‘a Little Nervous’ About Working Together on ‘Happy’s Place’

Omar Vega/WireImage

Reba McEntire planned to enjoy some much deserved downtime when she received a call about starring in Happy’s Place. This new sitcom about a woman who inherits a restaurant — and with it discovers some long-lost family — is scheduled to debut on October 18 on NBC. “I said, ‘I think I’ll take next year off,’” Reba tells Closer. “The angels were going, ‘Oh, not yet. We’ve got something for you to do.’”

Even if it wasn’t literally divine intervention, Happy’s Place was the opportunity that Reba had been looking for since the end of her first sitcom, Reba, which ran for six seasons from 2001 to 2007. “It’s my favorite thing to do,” says the country music star, who spoke with Closer at the recent Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour. She confides that she prefers the stability and set schedule of a television show over the unpredictable rigors of a cross country music tour. “Consistency is not something I’ve had the first 20-30 years of my career,” Reba explains. “With TV, you’re in the same parking spot. Same stage. Same craft services. There’s your family that you get to work with and play with. The hours are great, the weekends are off.”

Inside Reba McEntire’s New Sitcom With Rex Linn

Reba’s chosen family for her new sitcom includes two familiar faces: Melissa Peterman, who costarred as Barbra Jean on Reba; and Rex Linn, Reba’s real-life love interest, who also appeared with her in the 2020 drama Big Sky and Lifetime’s 2023 film The Hammer. “We were both a little nervous about it at first. I mean, you just never know,” Rex confides to Closer about working together. “But it ended up being wonderful.” Reba agrees. “Our chemistry on the camera is great. He’s also my coach. He helps me with my dialogue. I love that he’s always got my back and I’ve got his.”

The pair began dating during the 2020 pandemic and aren’t married yet, but they might as well be. The new TV series guarantees that they will be seeing each other day and night — and neither is complaining. “We love getting up in the morning together,” said Rex. “We like going to bed together and talking about our day. We also love going to work together.”

There have been challenges. While filming Big Sky, Reba was also flying out to perform concerts every weekend. “We’d work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and then she got on a plane Thursday morning,” recalls Rex, who admits that their relationship was “tested” by this unforgiving schedule, “but we never got in an argument. Never. Now with Happy’s Place, we just love to be able to do it again.”

Reba is also looking forward to playing a role that’s not based on herself. “Bobbie’s a pretty intense character,” says Reba. “She’s very devoted to the tavern and to her dad’s memory, and she wants everything to stay as it is.”

Of course, change is inevitable. While Reba’s character tries to fight it, the performer is happy to embrace fresh challenges and new chapters in her already remarkable life. “Out of all the things I get to do, this is my favorite,” says Reba of sitcom acting. “You just get to go to work and play. I absolutely love it. And getting to work with these folks? Icing on the cake!”

Reba McEntire Shares Update On ‘Reba’ Revival, Talks Working With Rex Linn & Melissa Peterman In ‘The Hammer’

Reba McEntire is staying booked and busy in 2022, with the upcoming release of her Lifetime film The Hammer, shooting underway on ABC’s Big Sky, and a concert tour kicking off this fall.  What this means is that a revival of her popular series Reba will have to wait, although, she says, it’s a project she would love to explore.

“So many obstacles,” McEntire told Deadline about what’s keeping the revival from happening. “The TV business changes so much that sometimes reboots are hot and then they’re not. Plus getting everyone scheduled together is also hard. Steve Howie is very busy, and so is Joanna Garcia. Mellisa [Peterman] is doing wonderful and here we are making a movie together. I guess timing and schedule will dictate that in the future.”

With no scripts written as of yet, McEntire could create a role for her boyfriend Rex Linn, her The Hammer and Big Sky co-star. Linn, who joined McEntire for this interview, is all in.

“We can write something in for him. The gardener?” McEntire shared when asked if there could be a role for Linn in the revival.

Linn replied, “I’m a good gardener. I can play the gardener who is always outside and out of focus while Reba’s talking—every episode.”

As McEntire noted, soon fans will be able to see her reunite with Reba co-star Peterman who plays her sister in the Lifetime film based on the life of traveling circuit judge Kim Wanker via the fictional Kim Wheeler (McEntire).

Kim Wheeler is an attorney who was recently appointed as a traveling judge in Nevada following the mysterious demise of the judge who previously held the position. As the investigation into his death heats up, Kim’s sister Kris (Peterman), who runs the local brothel, suddenly becomes the prime suspect, and Kim must work even harder to make certain the appropriate justice is served.

“I absolutely loved [playing Peterman’s sister],” she said. “We’ve been together so long that when she starts something, I fall into that sidekick role. I know that to get her into it, I just have to give her a look and she gets into high gear. We have the best time together. And playing this serious role instead of a comedy was refreshing for us and we hope to do more of it.”

Linn portrays a mysterious cowboy named Bart Crawford who keeps viewers guessing about who he is and what he’s after.

“He’s not a real character, so I worked with what was on the page for the most part. Our director Jeff Beesley allowed me a lot of freedom to add some flavor to it. It was on the page for sure but we had fun with it and we took some liberties here and there to add some spice to it,” said Linn.
Reba McEntire and Rex Linn Lifetime
Added McEntire, “[He brought to the character] attitude too throughout the progress of filming. We didn’t know whether he was going to be a love interest, a father looking out for his son’s best interest, or a suspect in the murder. He was filling three bills there.”

What McEntire is most proud of is being able to shine a light on bold and outspoken women like Judge Wanker. No premiere date has been set as of yet for the project.

“That’s why I loved this script so much. Judge Wanker is a very strong woman in a very tough state who travels 25k miles and covers three or four courthouses—that’s a tough lady. Sometimes she’s by herself and sometimes she has her bailiff go with her. I love strong women, whether it’s a song, a play, a movie, or a TV show. I like to portray strong women. I think it’s a great thing for young girls to watch and to have ladies they can look up to like I look up to like Judge Wanker,” McEntire said.

NBC has revealed its first images from Reba McEntire‘s new fall sitcom Happy’s Place. The series features her as Bobbie, a woman who inherits her father’s restaurant and learns she’ll have to co-manage it with the half-sister she never knew she had.

McEntire’s fellow former Reba alum (and cohost of the Living & Learning With Reba McEntire podcast) Melissa Peterman co-stars in the show as Gabby, a longtime bartender, while Belissa Escobedo stars as Bobbie’s new sis Isabella, and Rex Linn, McEntire’s real-life boyfriend, portrays Emmett.

The first photos show each of these series leads in various emotional states (most often, appearing annoyed) as they deal with each other and their new shared workspace.

Also starring in the series are Pablo Castelblanco and Tokala Black Elk. It’s written by Kevin Abbott, who executive produces with McEntire, Michael Hanel, Mindy Schultheis, and Julie Abbott.

Happy’s Place was picked up as a series as part of NBC’s fall 2024-2025 slate. It’s one of three new originals hitting the network this autumn, alongside medical drama Brilliant Minds and hospital mockumentary comedy St. Denis Medical. The show is slated to air on Friday nights at 8/7c.

Melissa Peterman celebrates reuniting with good friend Reba McEntire for new sitcom Happy’s Place

The two starred on McEntrie’s sitcom “Reba” on The CW from 2001 to 2007.

Unto every television generation, a Reba McEntire sitcom must come.

Seventeen years after her first show ended on The CW, McEntire and her Reba costar Melissa Peterman are back together for Happy’s Place.

Peterman learned that Peacock had picked up the show during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“Amazing!” Peterman said when she heard the news. “I get to work with Reba and our team and I’m so excited!”

Peterman and McEntire starred on the CW sitcom from 2001 to 2007, McEntire as a single mom who works too hard, who loves her kids and never stops, with gentle hands and the heart of a fighter. In short, she was a survivor. While Peterman played the younger woman her husband knocks up and leaves her for. Though they may have been rivals onscreen, Peterman and McEntire became good friends in real life.

“She’s like coming home,” Peterman said of the country legend. “I think that in this business, we have a lot of ‘Hollywood friends’ — friends that you share just the good stuff with. I think I knew that when we started sharing real-life stuff, that it was forever. I know she’s got my back whether we ever work together again. She is on my side always, and she knows I’m on hers.”

In Happy’s Place, McEntire stars as Bobbie, a woman who inherits her late father’s restaurant along with the half-sister she never knew she had (Hocus Pocus 2‘s Belissa Escobedo). Peterman plays Gabby, a bartender at the restaurant.

“It’s whole new characters, a whole new scenario and a lot of our same team,” Peterman said of Happy’s Place. “The dynamic is gonna be that dynamic that we have, that natural one.”

NBCUniversal announced Monday that they had ordered a pilot starring the Voice coach back in January, with Kevin Abbott, a writer and executive producer on Last Man Standing, Cristela, and the original Reba, serving as head writer and EP for the series.

Reba cast: Where are they now?

Happy’s Place will also star Pablo Castelblanco, Tokala Black Elk, and McEntire’s real-life beau, Rex Linn — who previously co-starred with Peterman and McEntire on Young Sheldon. Peterman revealed that she takes “a little credit” in setting up the two. And now they all get to play together.

“You’re lucky if you get one chance to work with people you love and have it be received so well and still sort of live on,” Peterman said, “but I’ve had more than that, and I mean, I feel like the luckiest.”

Owen Wilson Opens Up in New Sneak Peek From His 79% Rotten Tomatoes Comedy Series [Exclusive]

Stick is a new comedy from Apple TV+ that features Owen Wilson as Pryce Cahill, a former professional golfer who falls out of the game after a tragedy in his life.

While he still tried to teach and was part of golf in a different way, it takes Santi (Peter Dager) needing his guidance to get Pryce fully back in the swing of things. And now we at Collider are excited to share a new exclusive sneak peek from this week’s episode of the series. And the scene is an emotional one for Pryce, which we haven’t really seen throughout the series yet.

In Episode 6, titled “RV Shangri-La,” the team is gearing up for the U.S. Amateur Championship. Mitts (Marc Maron) and Elna (Mariana Treviño) are getting closer, and that means that they’re talking a bit more openly about Pryce — including about the death of his son.

The clip shows Pryce and Elena sitting next to each other by the fire when they begin to talk about Pryce’s boy after he was around another child. Elena asks him if that’s hard for him, and he shares that it is less about being around kids and more about the things that he misses with his son.

Pryce talks about how everyone in his grief class talked about how they are going to miss their child’s graduation. But for Pryce, he says the thing that he will miss the most are the little things, like fighting over bedtime or telling his son that he cannot do whatever he wants. It is a sweet scene and one that really shows how Santi, Elena, and their dynamic are helping Pryce cope with the loss of his son.

‘Stick’ Shows Off a New Side of Owen Wilson

We’ve seen Wilson in a range of roles. He’s played more emotional roles in Wes Anderson‘s work, like The Darjeeling Limited, and fans saw how his comedy could be used within the Marvel world for Loki. But Wilson, as an actor, has been known for just his comedy work.

Stick is allowing him to spread himself out a bit more for fans to see, and getting to watch as Pryce not only connects with Santi but tries to make him the best golfer he can be, and giving us emotional scenes like this one with Elena is something special. Stick continues to be one of Wilson’s best performances yet!

You can see Wilson in Apple TV+’s Stick; Episode 6 airs tomorrow.

NBC bumps Happy’s Place season 2 premiere to late fall.

NBC has finally revealed the premiere dates for its fall 2025 lineup, which includes the return of hit dramas like Law & Order, Brilliant Minds and Chicago PD, as well as new seasons of fan-favorite comedies like St. Denis Medical and Happy’s Place. However, fans eager for more laughs from Happy’s Place will have to wait a bit longer.

While many shows are debuting new seasons in September and October, Happy’s Place season 2 has been bumped to late fall. The hit comedy series starring Reba McEntire is scheduled to premiere its second season on NBC on Friday, Nov. 7, 2025, with back-to-back episodes kicking off the night. The first episode will air at 8:00 p.m. ET/9:00 p.m. CT, followed immediately by the second episode at 8:30 p.m. ET/9:30 p.m. CT.

Happy’s Place is a heartwarming comedy sitcom created by Julie Abbott and Kevin Abbott. McEntire takes on the role of Bobbie McAllister, a determined woman who unexpectedly inherits her late father’s tavern, Happy’s Place, in Knoxville, Tennessee, after his death. As Bobbie strives to keep the family business afloat, she discovers that she has a half-sister, Isabella, who has shared ownership of the bar. The show then focuses on the evolving relationship between Bobbie and Isabella as they learn to work together despite their differences.

Joining McEntire in the cast as Isabella is Belissa Escobedo. Melissa Peterman, Rex Linn, Pablo Castelblanco, and Tokala Black Elk also star.

Fellow sophomore comedy St. Denis Medical is also set to return with its second installment in November. The exact premiere date is Monday, Nov. 3, 2025. Like Happy’s Place season 2, St. Denis Medical season 2 will premiere with back-to-back episodes, giving viewers a double dose of the workplace comedy to start off the new season. The first episode is set to air on NBC on Nov. 3 at 8/9c, followed immediately by the second episode at 8:30/9:30c.

Additionally, NBC has two promising new comedies in development for the 2025-26 season. They are The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe, and the cheerleading comedy series Stumble, from Jeff Astrof and Liz Astrof. The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins will see Morgan portray a former football star who has fallen from the spotlight. The series will follow his journey to redeem himself and repair his public reputation.

Stumble, on the other hand, stars Jenn Lyon as Courteney Potter, a fiercely determined woman leading a junior college cheerleading squad. As she pushes the underdog team toward winning her record-breaking 15th championship, she also aims to transform the lives of her squad members both on and off the mat.

John Legend steals back Voice contestant from Team Adam Levine: ‘Come on home’

Legend mentioned early on the second night of the Knockouts that he had a steal remaining.

Wait, didn’t this just happen?

On Monday night, The Voice fans saw contestant Ari Camille change teams again. After she began on coach John Legend’s team, she was defeated in the Battle Round and stolen by one of his rivals, Adam Levine. Then, on the second night of the Knockouts, she was stolen again. Legend came to her rescue after she was defeated following her rendition of “Love Like This” by Faith Evans.

“We missed you,” Legend told her afterward. “Come on home.”

Legend had mentioned early in the episode that he had a steal remaining. And he used it after Levine chose Camille’s competitor, Britton Moore, who sang “Free” by Zac Brown Band.

Both performances were stunners, as they often are at this point in the competition. Before the contestants even left the stage, Legend announced, “I’m stealing somebody!”

Moore, who’s from Texas, said he’d never performed a country song previously. But the resident expert in the genre, coach Kelsea Ballerini, liked what she heard.

“Britton, your voice on a traditionally country song is so fun to listen to,” she said after his solo. “Every note is so crisp and perfect. It’s almost like you’re self-auto-tuned.”

Legend quipped that Moore’s voice is “God-o-Tuned.”

“Ari, your energy on stage just makes me so happy. Even you walking up, I was like, ‘OK, boots,” Ballerini said of Camille’s high white boots. “You really came to life, especially when you got out from behind that mic stand. You’re both amazing.” She couldn’t commit to a recommendation for Levine.

Coach, Michael Bublé observed that the two were incredible at just 21. The 49-year-old joked that, “if you add your ages up and then add a few years, you get me.”

He suggested Levine go with Moore.

“Ari, this song your style, your star power just all came together,” Legend told Camille. “This was my favorite performance of yours. I’m not gonna credit Adam being your coach.”

But he told Moore that his song was “pitch-perfect,” too.

And giving another indication of what he planned to do, Legend said, “Both of y’all earned the right to not leave this competition, I’ll tell you that.”

Levine proclaimed both “did exactly what needed to be done,” but he went with Moore.

Legend couldn’t watch Camille go home, however, so he went in for the steal.

Elsewhere in the episode, contestant Divighn said goodbye after a shocking elimination. The contestant covered Levine’s own “Harder to Breathe,” his song with Maroon 5, and got a lot of love from the coaches. Levine, especially, yubi, marveled at the Prince-esque dance moves and shrieks the contestant incorporated.

“Divighn, you got great taste in music, man,” Levine said. “I always secretly dread when people are gonna do our songs, because it always makes me nervous. I’m so close to it. I love what you did with it. You took it and did something that I actually like with it that wasn’t what I normally do. The fact that you can get up there and move the way you were moving and still just deliver like a rock-solid, big vocal, that’s big.”

But it wasn’t big enough, and Divighn’s coach, Bublé, opted to give opponent Kaiya Hamilton the win for her performance of “Here” by Alessia Cara. He didn’t like having to make it: “I made a mistake putting you together.”

The Voice Knockouts continue Monday, April 14, at 8/7 C on NBC.
