Overhyped, Overpromoted Silly And Crappy Game Show!


Well NBC's execs finally came to their senses by cancelling
Deal Or No Deal. Back in 2005/06 when it debuted this game
show was interesting to watch however the network just
kept overhyping and overpromoting it to death! And by doing
so they didn't give enough promotion and advertising to
other prime time shows that deserved a chance to find an
audience. NBC placed The E-Ring on hiatus because of the
2006 Winter Olympics coverage and went ahead and aired
DOND and then after the games ended NBC placed E-Ring on
different nights without letting the viewers know just
where and when to find the action show. And at the same
time the ratings for the game show went up and ratings
for E-Ring declined. This was one of the best shows to
debut in the fall of 2005 and the network hasn't even
released the one and only season on dvd for fear of
looking stupid and foolish for canceling it in the first
place! Executive producer Ken Robinson even says on his
imdb page that he pleaded with NBC to promote the show
and to at least release it on dvd for the fans and
all they could say in return was "trust us, we know what
we're doing." What a crock of crap! The daytime syndicated
version of DOND is not affected by the cancelation and
hopefully NBC will also bring back Chuck sooner than
March 2010. They also shot themselves in the foot by
canceling Southland! There's too much time and funds
being spent on Jay Leno's show while not promoting
other prime time shows!
