The Talking Through The Medias opening toss up story.
ABC has released its summer schedule, which includes a new Jeopardy! spinoff and the delayed second season of the Wonder Years reboot.
It all kicks off on Monday, May 8, with the launch of Jeopardy! Masters, a Ken Jennings-hosted, three-week event that will see the six highest-ranked, current Jeopardy! contestants face off in a Champions League-style tournament.
Its May 24 finale will lead into the new unscripted comedy series The Prank Panel, featuring panelists Johnny Knoxville, Eric Andre and Gabourey Sidibe. Meanwhile, The Wonder Years — which aired its Season 1 finale last May — will not return for Season 2 until Wednesday, June 14. But it is getting a supersized, one-hour premiere! New episodes will lead out of Judge Steve Harvey.
The Bachelorette Season 20 will also arrive in June, fronted by recent Bachelor hopeful Charity Lawson. Additional returning faves include The $100,000 Pyramid, Celebrity Family Feud, The Chase, Generation Gap and Press Your Luck.

And now we find out who got the dazzle and who got the fizzle. Hold tight boys and girls, it's the yay & Yawn of March.
The Yay: The Wheel of Fortune. First, they ponied up with Live Play Bingo for Fun & Games Week and this week, the WWE took superstars to play with superfans in honor of Wrestlemania in LA this weekend.
The Yawn: Lingo. This was supposed to be a remake of a GSN classic. Instead, it's a offshoot of Wordle. The Tiffany network decided to shelve it. Even Rupaul too.

The Final Straw has collapsed in on itself: ABC has cancelled the Jenga-esque game show after one season, TVLine has reported.
ABC declined to comment, but an ABC source concedes that the Janelle James-hosted series is "unlikely to return" for a second season.
Meanwhile, the fates of two other in-limbo ABC game shows, Holey Moley and To Tell the Truth, remain up in the air.
The Final Straw, which bowed last summer, found four teams of contestants facing off to combat "tremendous tipping towers. Each life-sized themed tower is chock full of various objects ranging from basketballs to small kitchen appliances as contestants try to successfully pull items from the stack without tipping it over in order to earn prizes. If the tower falls, the team is eliminated and the last team standing will compete against The Mega Stack, an epic battle of physics where the odds are literally stacked against them, in hopes of winning a life-changing grand prize."
At the time of its launch, Rob Mills, EVP of Unscripted and Alternative Entertainment at Walt Disney Television, heralded The Final Straw — which counted Peyton Manning among its EPs — as a wholly original concept boasting "big visuals" that "is sure to keep audiences on their toes and entertain families all summer long."

Fifty years after the Pyramid format first hit television, not much has changed in the game show's playstyle, apart from the top prize.
"For a lot of people, it used to be The $25,000 Pyramid, so obviously inflation has pumped it up!" Michael Strahan quipped to TV Insider in 2016, when he began hosting the word game created by legendary producer Bob Stewart.
Strahan is right, of course, but the prize was even lower when the format debuted on TV on March 26, 1973.
At the time, the show was titled The $10,000 Pyramid, and it was Dick Clark who was the master of ceremonies.

Seven has revealed its first look at its new game show, The 1% Club, coming soon to Seven and 7Plus.
Hosted by comedian Jim Jefferies, the show promises to deliver an entertaining and hilarious experience as people of all ages and backgrounds find out if they are of the first order.
Unlike most quiz shows, general knowledge isn't what it takes to excel in The 1% Club, but logic and common sense.
Jefferies brings his trademark wit as host, injecting each episode with a healthy dose of laughter.
The perfect fit for this boundary-pushing quiz show, Jefferies is known for his irreverent style and ability to find humor in even the most controversial topics.
One hundred contestants begin every show, but to make it to the end and win the top prize, contestants must correctly answer a question only 1% of the country would get right.

Remember Lingo as the Yawm of March? Well......
RuPaul's Celebrity Lingo appears to have been cancelled after just one series.
The Drag Race icon debuted as host of the ITV Sunday night show last year, which is itself a spin-off of the daytime TV game show hosted by Adil Ray.
However, a representative for the series has revealed that there are no plans for a second run of Celebrity Lingo in the UK.
"We don't yet have plans for a second series of Celebrity Lingo. However, another series of the daytime show hosted by Adil Ray is due to air later in the year, and the US series for CBS, which is hosted by RuPaul, has been renewed," they said (via Radio Times).

And look who else got dropped?
Gordon Ramsay is reportedly 'gutted' after his cooking series Next Level Chef has been given the chop at ITV.
In Next Level Chef UK, 12 contestants competed to win a £100,000 prize, plus a year-long mentorship from Gordon Ramsay and his fellow judges, Paul Ainsworth and Nyesha Arrington, which is quite the prize!
It was no easy task though, as they had to cook in a very unique kitchen made of three different floors, with the bottom having poor quality equipment and the top one being an industry-standard fully-equipped kitchen.
However, it looks like Next Level Chef won't be coming back for another intense showdown, as What to Watch reports that the ITV series hasn't been recommissioned by the broadcaster.
Speaking about the news, their source reportedly told the site: "Gordon is highly competitive and he's gutted the series wasn't given a second run.
"These types of shows always take a while to get going and for viewers to connect, so he thinks it wasn't really given a proper chance. But he accepts TV is a brutal world and sometimes shows just don't work out."
Meanwhile, a spokesman for ITV said: "There are no current plans for a second series but viewers can watch series one on ITVX."
