I remember listening to "Name That Tune" on our living room radio back in the old days. When I heard that it was to be revived again, I tuned in. It was bad, for much the same reasons of my last tv show review. If I had to critique it in one word, the word would be PHONY. (Apologies to Salinger)
I've watched Jimmy Kimmel hosting the new version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire." The contestants are celebrities, so of course it's pretty much all talk and no game. The stars are given so many assists that it's almost impossible for them to not win massive amounts of money. But it's all for charity, so we don't mind. We can suspend veracity, authenticity, entertainment value for a good cause.
I watched the first 2 episodes of Jeopardy with guest host Ken Jennings; it is very much the same format and atmosphere as before. so at least we have that.
