The month of March. It's a time where spring is shoving winter over with a forklift. Basketball tournaments is getting closer to the field of 64. MTV used to air sping break programming from Daytona Beach. Spring training has already begun. But on this blog, we kick off a tradition.........

Madi2TheMax-imum March Madness!!!!!!


She may have left the the big red play button of Youtube for the white musical note of madness known as Tiktok. However, her memories will continue to go on. It seems that ABC is doing a better job every summer for remakes of classic game shows, but Madison says.....the ones other than that aren't buying it.

The moral to this story: If you can remake a game show, don't Half-A$% it. I'm looking at you, The CW. But we got another chapter to write in this week's saga, so le's start with.........


The Double Toasted opening toss up story.








You've heard all about it on Social media, the internet and elsewhere. Corona Virus is turning out to be a real life version of Contagion, which is a movie if you haven't rent it on digital platforms already, but one Emmy Award winnning CBS reality show decided to take a staycation after filming.



The Amazing Race just hit a serious roadblock: CBS has suspended production on Season 33 of the globe-trotting reality hit over concerns about the coronavirus.
"Due to increased concerns and uncertainty regarding the coronavirus around the world, CBS and the producers of The Amazing Race have taken the precautionary measure of temporarily suspending production on the 33rd season of the series," a network spokesperson said in a statement. "All contestants and production staff are in the process of returning home."
The statement also emphasized that "at this time, no Racers or anyone on the production team traveling with them have contracted the virus, or shown symptoms, and we are not aware of anyone being exposed to it. Out of an abundance of caution, everyone involved in the show will continue to be monitored when they return home. The health and wellbeing of the Racers and the production team are our top priorities."
Production on Season 33 started a couple weeks ago, with three episodes filmed so far. There's no word yet on when production might resume again. The series, hosted by Phil Keoghan since its 2001 debut, sends pairs of contestants on a race around the world to compete in a series of international challenges. Season 32, which will air next, has already been filmed, but doesn't have a premiere date.

Like white sand through a board game hourglass, so begins.......The Streams of Your Life, bwa ha ha!


Yes, the streams of Your Life. The continuing millenial soap rock opera about a stream company out in the sun...........



Usher is bringing his moves to the upcoming Quibi dance competition series The Sauce. The Grammy award-winning R&B artist will serve as a judge and executive producer of the show.
The Sauce will be produced by Thalia Mavros' The Front. The new dance series will be hosted by brothers and Atlanta-based dancers Ayo and Teo as they explore the unique dance cultures in cities across the U.S., finding the freshest talent to compete head-to-head.
"Dance continues to drive much of our popular culture in increasingly more meaningful ways, and I can't wait to help these young dancers express their extraordinary talent and vision," said Usher. "I'm excited to be working with Quibi and The Front, who share my vision for cutting-edge, culture-forward content and have created an innovative platform to recognize incredibly gifted dancers from across the nation."




On Feb. 28, Netflix will add new episodes of "Jeopardy!" to the streaming platform. The newest additions will celebrate past winners and give fans a look back at some highs of the Alex Trebek-hosted trivia show.
According to TVInsider, the new episodes will feature the "Cindy Stowell Collection." Stowell, who was a science content developer from Austin, Texas, competed on the long-running game show in 2016. She passed away a week before her episodes aired, as she had been secretly battling stage 4 colon cancer, but prior to her death, she had donated $100,000 from her winnings to cancer research.
Seth Wilson's 2016 12-game streak will also be added to Netflix on Friday, along with a variety of episodes that focus on Trebek and his hosting skills.
The addition of the new material means that other shows will be removed from the streaming site. "The Buzzy Cohen Collection," "College Championship II," "Teachers Tournament II" and "Tournament of Champions III" are among the titles that will become unavailable in the near future.
This news follows the recent "JEOPARDY! The Greatest of All Time" tournament, which began on Jan. 7. During the series, fan favorites James Holzhauer, Ken Jennings, and Brad Rutter returned to compete for the impressive title. Ultimately, Jennings took home the $1M prize, while Holzhauer and Rutter each earned $250K.



Amazon Original series Making The Cut, reveals its first official look at the upcoming season, hosted and executive produced by Heidi Klum & Tim Gunn. The series will premiere on Prime Video on Friday March 27, 2020.
The 10-episode fashion competition series, which brings together a diverse group of 12 talented entrepreneurs and designers, will premiere two new episodes each week, culminating in an epic finale on April 24, 2020. In this first-ever global and instantly shoppable series, limited editions of the winning look from each episode will be available for purchase exclusively on Amazon in the "Making the Cut" store.
During the course of the season, those who do not "make the cut" will be eliminated, with the winning designer from the finale receiving one million dollars to invest in their brand and the opportunity to create an exclusive line available on Amazon.
The dozen designers featured on Making the Cut will visit three of the world's fashion capitals - New York, Paris, and Toyko - and face challenges and assignments that will test not only their design skills but also their ability to run all aspects of a business. Judging their looks and industry acumen are some of fashion's most recognizable and influential names, including Naomi Campbell, Nicole Richie, Joseph Altuzarra, Carine Roitfeld and Chiara Ferragni.
The series is executive produced by Sara Rea, Page Feldman, Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn and Jennifer Love, directed by Ramy Romany and produced by Amazon Studios and SKR Productions.



Fans of reality TV coupling competitions might be lamenting the fact that the final episode of Netflix's Love Is Blind premieres this week, but fear not: There's more drama ahead. The streamer said today that a reunion special will arrive next week.

"The final episode of Love Is Blind premieres tomorrow! But the story doesn't end there," Netflix tweeted. "On March 5, all your burning questions will be answered in a can't-miss reunion special hosted by Vanessa and Nick Lachey":

Insert cancellation stamp here.

Sue Perkins' game show Insert Name Here has been axed by BBC Two.
The former Great British Bake Off host fronted the competition for four series and three Christmas specials, but it will not return this year.
The ill-fated format follows other works by the comic in the wake of her leaving GBBO to be cancelled, including her Generation Game reboot and The Big Spell, which aired on Sky One. Insert Name Here saw two teams of three players competing to answer questions based on celebrities that shared the same name.
The show's latest series averaged less than a million viewers for each episode, with its final instalment seeing just 520,000 viewers tune in. A source told The Sun that: 'Unfortunately, the ratings did begin to slide a bit for this so BBC bosses have decided to put it out of its misery.
'It had some good guests and a pair of good team captains in Josh Widdicombe and Richard Osman, but unfortunately, poor ratings mean it's no more.'

So you Think you can Dance? But only if you're funny? Well..........


"The Funny Dance Show" premieres on Wednesday, March 11 at 10:30pm ET/PT on E! during the new "Laughter Hours" programming block. Hosts and Judges include: Hosts, Creators and Executive Producers: Justine Marino and Heidi Heaslet Judges: Loni Love (comedian and co-host of "The Real"), Allison Holker ("So You Think You Can Dance" and "Dancing with the Stars") and Justin Martindale (comedian and television personality)
Based off of Justine Marino and Heidi Heaslet's live show developed at The World Famous Comedy Store, "The Funny Dance Show" takes your favorite dance competitions and turns the genre on its head. The new series showcases what can happen when some of the funniest, and sometimes rhythmically challenged, comedians become dancing competitors. Regardless of whether they kill it on the dance floor, the end result is always a belly laugh of a story told through fancy footwork.
Each week two teams of comedians will work with professional choreographers and an entourage of backup dancers to try and perfect their steps ahead of a series of judged dance-offs. Come showtime, the comedians try not to literally break a leg while performing for a live club audience all in an effort to win $10,000 for a charity of their choice.
The teams taking to the stage include: Jessimae Peluso and Flula Borg vs. Candice Thompson and Maz Jobrani; Jade Catta-Preta and Marcella Arguello vs. Daniel Franzese and Irene Choi; Fortune Feimster and Willie Hunter vs. Fahim Anwar and Becky Robinson; Ron Funches and Blair Socci vs. Adam Ray and Brad Williams; Kel Mitchell and Carly Jibson vs. Yamaneika Saunders and Jeremiah Watkins, and more.

And we move to the segment that awards us all for good behavior and sportsmanship..........



http://tpirepguide.com/qwizx/gssfx/usa/blockbwhitering.wav


Buzz-GSN where we ask you guys on the Game Show Network Facebook page anything and everything.


https://youtu.be/yj0iG5UN2-E


Lynda Kyle will start with.......

"Thanks and kudos for the return of The Chase!!!! I’m so excited, our FAVORITE show!!"

You're all welcome but Don Connors says.........


"Look I love The Chase as much as anyone but it should really be a weekend show. There's only 51 episodes and when you're showing it Monday through Friday it means there's only 10 weeks until an episode gets rerun again. I'd love to see you bring back something we haven't seen in awhile like Catherwood Chain Reaction or even American Bible Challenge, it's certainly been long enough since that last ran for the reruns to be fresh."


GSN did bring back Catch 21 but in a new way. So with some originals we haven't seeen like Cram and Wintuition, don't you think they'll return once in a blue or new moon? Phillip Blair is next.


"Love the channel, I watch every day, but for the love of all that is good and holy, please, PLEASE cut down on the Family Feud! Hour after hour of Steve making sex jokes was funny for a while but its wearing real thin. Bring back Pyramid!"


Yep. Any kind of Pyramid. Stay away form the 2012 or Donnymid at all costs. Next up, Debbie Touchet Baker.


"Could y’all do something besides family feud. Geez that’s way too much. Don’t watch the channel because of this."


The least they could do is show Idiotest at 2 am central with Winsanity to round out the programming day. Evetything else is infomercials before Match Game at 7 am central. And oh yeah.....Common Knowledge, too. Up ahead, Joan Palmieri. 


"I absolutely HATE the new time slot for What America Says!!!! This time assignment makes it almost impossible to watch anymore. YUK & UGH!!!"

What, you want to bring it back? Go apply for a job at the network and see if you can retain it. Next, Tammy Sue Valik.


"I wish that you guys would air old episodes of Hollywood Squares or create a new version and no crappy host like Belusi he's annoying."

GSN does choose hosts based on their supporting role in TV and movies. Do you want me to reiterate that? Next, Vickie Schneider. 


"I am enjoying the premise of “Get a Clue,” but the host is WAY too LOUD! He’s driving me up the wall. I hope he tones it down or I won’t be watching for long."


I have one thing to solve them all: Mute Button. Last up, Mark McKinley.


"Please lose the commercial about the banker for Deal or No Deal with the OBNOXIOUS black woman telling the banker to "shut up." Her attitude is disgusting and displays the complete lack of respect that is prevalent and thought to be acceptable in today's society.
I am sure that GSN can find a better example of a contestant than this ignorant woman."


But CNBC did have a female banker, so if GSN can acquire that, it would be interesting to see it.

Ok kids, we got a Mistplay Game Break for you. While some kids take school off for Spring break, we have this subject to look at:






And the question is.......







You shall think on it after we hear Madi2themax do some impressions for you.......





And you get a gold medal for knowing this answer: Ticonderoga.   The familiar yellow "Ticonderoga pencils" were named for the fort but were never actually made in the community. Plus, they perfect for sticking it to the ceiling.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With our last segment getting ready to load, our blog is all about fans first. Whether it be in the gym, the laundromat, the bar or anywhere else, but Reddit saw this wonderful fanatic routine done at the US Synchronized Skating Championships and it's worth.....Another look.

With HQ being buried in the ground, Swagbucks Live going a bit too soft except for Devyn Howard who remains the nicest host on your phone and some apps getting a makeover into something non-trivia like, it leaves out the one app that remains the hottest game in town. Everyday, we escape the harsh realities of the world and step into another place and time. A world where knowing a lot.......can get you a lot.






You have entered......Skilli World. Built as Gilligan's Island getting marooned in space with The Jetsons, this app was designed to put smart people in a place where we all belong. While other apps of the time had a short amount of time, save for Confetti which ran a half an hour, this app, is open 24/7. Look at CVS, 24/7, some Walgreens locations, 24/7, gas stations, 24/7. IHOP, 24/7, even hospitals too.


https://www.skilliworld.com/2019/11/28/why-skilli-world-beats-the-competition/

Even this article doesn't lie. You can ask anybody who's played Jeopardy! or any other game show on TV about it. It's hot, white hot and promises to give you cash if you can do one thing: Answer it truthfully or spot the lie. Every subject is either free or requires some cash to plunk down on. Let's tour.




Every night at 8:33 sharp, players gather from miles around to answer 5 questions regarding the subject of the day. There's even some general knowledge days too.



But it ain't over. Win or lose, everyone is invited to the DMT after party where 10 players fight it out for more cash. 




The Party Hut also is reserved for 4 players. I heard there's pizza and soda involved........




There's even a room with just one trivia statement to answer, you get the Hamilton and the Washington to split with your friends or if you're by yourself. There's even games all day long where 3 trivia statements gets you some pocket change to build up towards your next big tournament. And if you look at this person............

That's it for this week. Today's consolation prize is an advertised forehead tattoo. Use a sponsor you like, walk around and they'll pay you a certain amount of money and be critisized on newspapers everywhere. It's not just a job, it's how you think Amber Rose really is.
