Here we are out on the road for another edition of....................
This time we are in Larry Lunatic's Lunar Rocket Rentals. Whether it's good credit, bad credit, no credit or slow credit, take one of his rockets and ride it around space for a week starting at $199 a flight, or try his newest Breakneck Breakthrough rocket for $399 a flight all with a 48-hour money back to earth guarantee if you're too sick or nauseous about zero gravity on the flight. Anyways, the Skywalking Through Neverland crew once stopped by at a sponsored event and look what they just discovered while they took it Bi-Coastal. It's part one of a 3-part series focusing on the Galatic Starcruiser.
Peacock has won rights to the American version of the hit British series in what it calls a “highly competitive situation.” The NBCUniversal-owned streaming platform has picked up two seasons of Love Island, with the first set to air in the summer.
The show, produced by ITV America’s ITV Entertainment, had aired on CBS for the past three seasons.
Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that CBS broached scaling back the number of hours in a fourth season of Love Island. ITV balked at that idea and took the show back to the market, where Peacock outbid several other outlets.
“As we continue to make Peacock a destination for must-watch original programming, partnering with a global powerhouse like ITV enables us to build on their internationally beloved formats to attract all new fans to the platform,” said Susan Rovner, chairman entertainment content at NBCUniversal Television and Streaming.
Love Island on Peacock will keep the same format as previous seasons — running multiple episodes per week as it follows a group of single people who descend on a resort and try to couple up and remain in the game. Viewers also have a say on which contestants stick around.
“Love Island is a highly addictive dating format that is primed for a streaming service like Peacock where we can push boundaries and bring viewers steamy and dramatic twists, said Jenny Groom, executive vp entertainment unscripted content and NBC TV and Streaming. “The series took pop culture by storm after the UK format found fans across the world, and we are thrilled to be able to bring an all-new version to Peacock this summer anchoring our unscripted slate.”
Part of Peacock’s winning bid for Love Island was a promise to use other NBCU platforms to help market the series.
Sources say that having the show originate on a streaming platform could also allow for somewhat racier content than what aired on CBS. “This really is an unprecedented deal for an unscripted brand,” said ITV America CEO David George. “Peacock and NBCU are the perfect home for Love Island because of their strategy to grow the show, utilizing the greater NBCU television portfolio and other platforms to help propel the series. That dedication, coupled with a two-season commitment on Peacock, sealed the deal. We’re incredibly excited to elevate the show through a bold new collaboration.”
The latest dance competition coming to television is one for the entire family — both on and off-screen.
Come Dance With Me, from creators and executive producers Chris O’Donnell and LL Cool J, will premiere on Friday, April 15 on CBS. Grammy Award-winning songwriter Philip Lawrence serves as host, while dancer and actress Jenna Dewan, professional celebrity dancer Dexter Mayfield, and renowned hip hop choreographer Tricia Miranda are the judges.
“Come Dance With Me is a fun show with a big heart,” O’Donnell and LL Cool J said in a statement. “The show is about being creative, having a good time and bringing families together through dance. We can’t wait to see what these kids and parents have in store for America!”
In the series, which features music from popular artists across all genres, exceptionally talented young dancers (from 9 to 15 years old) from across the country invite an untrained family member who has supported their dance dreams to be their partner. The untrained family members (including a preschool teacher, a doctor, a social worker, and an engineer) have left their day jobs behind to learn the choreography for their kids.
Each week, the pairs will go on uplifting and emotional journeys to learn and perform challenging routines in different styles of dance, from hip hop and ballroom to contemporary and theatrical, with help from professional choreographers. They will perform a fierce new routine each week in hopes of earning top scores from the judges and continuing on. Each judge can award up to 10 points per team, on the criteria of technique, team chemistry, and showmanship. The teams that receive the lowest scores will then compete in a freestyle dance-off, with the judges determining which team is eliminated. The winning team at the end of the season will receive the $100,000 grand prize.
Reinout Oerlemans, Ross Weintraub and Jeff Altrock also executive produce for 3 Ball Productions, part of 3BMG.

Spanning the Neighborhoods of the internet to give you opinion on the first network devoted to game shows, it's..............
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.
Getting things going, it's Scott D. McPhee.
Just curious. Are you limiting the episode you are broadcasting of the Match Game? It seems like you’ve been running episodes from 74 and 75 over and over again for quite awhile. Or am I missing something?
GSN does 74 & 75 MG. However, Buzzr does 77, PM and all the other years but not the syndicated 79-82 incarnation they yet to show. They recently did the 1990 version to honor Betty White. So Buzzr it is. Next, Dustin Lemon.
Game show network please make a show called beat the dragon with the host mark the beast Lebett staring in April and have the dragon be celebrity voices thanks dustin lemon
I think not. That belongs to Tic Tac Dough as a bonus game and The Beast belongs on The Chase M-F showing the whole GSN version with Brooke Burns. Are you losing your mind already? Next up, Kevin Cearley.
