EDITION: U.S.
new game shows
The return of the game show?

King World, the people behind Wheel of Fortune
and Jeopardy have created two new game
shows and will offer the shows to syndication in a one hour block starting in the fall of 2007. NBC Universal is
prepping a syndicated version of Deal Or No Deal. So now the show will be on 300 times a week.The King World news is great, but frustrating, since there are no details at all yet on what the game shows will be. If they're successful, maybe this will mean a little resurgence of game shows (and not just reality show type game shows). But I won't be happy til they come back to daytime.
