He reports at least 3 and as many as 5. Let's hope he's right this time.

Wonder who they'll salute?

The NRA.

Wish I knew the source. For now, I'm assuming his bowling buddy told him this.

Bring in the grocery checkers!

An audience of spayed and neutered pets?

What's the next item up for bids, Rich?
A brand-new LITTER BOX!

Since you brought it up, what exactly is the deal with "Professor Beverly" anyway? Is he just completely in love with himself or what? Is there a school that actually pays him to be a "professor"???

Zap 2 it

Read about 1/3 down, and you'll see what he's saying.

BTW- Steve is a nice guy- he likes the shows just like we do, after all he is a fan. I do think His journalistic skills leave something to be desired, though.

Union University, in Jackson, TN. Make of that what you will.

Yes, he may be nice, but that is not an excuse for the errors, which seem to happen too often for a site of that stature, and then their unexplained disappearance. He could at LEAST give some sort of retraction.

Man, that Zap2It picture of Barker is NOT flattering....Are the cameras in Studio 33 hosed with vaseline before each show?

<sarcasm>I think they should bring back the highest 150 or so winners in the show history. </sarcasm>

But he wouldn't be the World's Foremost Authority if he let on that he was human and prone to mistakes. Lots of mistakes. Unforgivable mistakes.

He's a hack. Nothing more.

Isn't this what I was saying last week?

Anywho... We'll see. I reserve comment at this time.

We like to reiterate it from time to time. Just to make sure everyone knows. :)

Right, but I think his point is that several people got on his case because he didn't believe a story that Steve posted.

The difference between that and this is that in that case Steve-O was backed up by actual reputable sources that Tuna decided to ALSO refute, for no real reason aside from Beverly citing them.

The lesson to be learned is that while his overall opinion of Beverly is correct, well, the sun even shines on a dog's ass occasionally, and when it does you have to give the dog his due. :)

Yep. Pretty much what I figured!

Where in the hell do you come up with these lines, Chris? lol!

Dan Rather.

And with that, I stumbled upon the darkhorse candidate to succeed Dan Rather. :)

"The CBS Nightly News with Chris Lemon" does have a ring to it. ;)

Apparently, Aaron thought that was such a fine idea, he said it twice. :)

That might not be such a bad idea...Lord knows there are enough people in this country who could use a dose of blunt reality every now and again. :-)

Yeah, if the timeline sidebar on his homepage hasn't been updated since October, he still has his December Gene Rayburn feature up, the damn Ken Jennings Box is inexplicably still there, and he rushes to get a cap of himself up hosting Head2Head the day after it airs...that tells you everything you need to know.

Well, he has been busy with interviews and things. There's only so much Stosh to go around.

For those still interested, Mr. Beverly has indeed gotten this one correct. CBS has ordered 3 (and only 3 for now) more Primetime Million Dollar Spectaculars for Spring airing.

They are set to tape in April.

Well...understandably, I have mixed thoughts about Steve. After all, without him, I probably wouldn't have received nearly as much publicity as I did during Ken's streak. However, had Steve been impeccably correct, I doubt I would have received much at all. He only started the Jennings' Winnings section after I emailed him a correction from my stats.

In this business, there is nothing wrong with riding a few coattails to get yourself a little pub. Just so long as you know whose coattails you're riding, and the likelyhood of them cutting you loose the second it's inconvenient for you to be there.

But of course. That's the way the news is -- they only want to talk to you if you know something about what they're reporting on.

I'm also guessing that as a former news director, Steve probably still has quite a few contacts in the business -- people that are likely to give him information because they already know him. And that's in addition to the publicity that running his site gets him.

Actually, I doubt it, or else he wouldn't have screwed the pooch on the Dick Clark / Millionaire story so fantastically.

Steve has contacts these days in the world of game shows, but I doubt that his previous incarnation as a news director had much to do with it. Regardless of your opinions about his methods (or, for that matter, his opinions) one thing you can't begrudge him is that he puts a ton of effort into his site, and part of that has been accumulating contacts.

Yes, like that southern station manager...

Not really. He still hasn't updated his links that are horribly outdated along the right side of his page [Yes, I emailed him; no response....that's probably thanks to the fact I roasted him in a separate e-mail when he brought up some stupid comparison about NASCAR vs. gameshows]. Hell, links to pages on his OWN site are down..and haven't been corrected. Maybe if he spent a little less time hooked up to the ego machine; and more time working on his website; people wouldn't be so discontent with it. That's not to mention the tacky advertisement he places on his site as a "Story".

Exactly. First off, he's still got an October timeline up, as well as an FAQ from October. Links are outdated. Some haven't been updated in a year or more.

I'll give him credit. He puts effort into the site, as long as the information that is posted is in some way beneficial to him. For example, he was all over the KenJen situation, because he knew people would flock to him for stats and whatnot. Case and point, a satellite truck set up for when KenJen lost. More facetime.

Often, he has up about him announcing a basketball game, and updates will be late. All that needs to be posted is the fact that updates will be late, not the fact that he's getting more face time.

And I agree with the previous poster. The site gets so outdated at times, yet immediately, when he gets a headshot of him on a tv show, it is up almost as soon as it airs.

I don't know. I may be one of very few critics of his, and my opinion may be thought to some as too negative, but I too have had e-mails go unanswered. I too have seen the foulups.

I dunno.. Just my opinion.

I do still get a chuckle over the way how, at GSC-3, while giving his presentation, he would reference the former place of employ of Bob Boden as "GSN--The Network For Games". The inflection in his voice each and every time was precious.

Boy, I really didn't mean to turn this into a mostly Beverly bashing thread, but why stop now.

His retrovision column which looks back in game show history:

One Year Ago
A regular look back at the champions, offbeat finishes, debuts and cancellations of a week from one year earlier.

And witihout fanfare; not 10 minutes later; is this entry changed; but no other. Simply amazing.
[Side note: That's a picture of Soupy up there?]

Aw, heck, I can handle the archive....some of it.

30 YEARS AGO: The original Jeopardy! ends an 11-year run with Charlie Chaplin's "Smile (Though Your Heart Is Breaking)" playing over the closing credits. Merv Griffin's Wheel Of Fortune premieres. What's My Line? having trouble clearing stations for an eighth syndicated season.

25 YEARS AGO: Play The Percentages bows in syndication with the rules I wish they'd kept. The big damn percent sign almost rips the stage apart as it rises. Geoff Edwards hosts. Jay Stewart announces. Former TV Tarzan and future Miss America Pageant emcee Ron Ely hosts Face The Music, produced by Sandy Frank.

20 YEARS AGO: Time Machine, a Reg Grundy Production starring John Davidson premieres at 10am ET on NBC. Charlie Tuna announces the first show, Rich Jeffries the next four and then Charlie is back for the duration of the run. John's closing line, "We now return you to 1985".

10 YEARS AGO: Syndicated Family Feud with a mumbling Richard Dawson received a number of time period downgrades in many markets. Syndicated New Price Is Right will cease production and end its run in one month.

5 YEARS AGO: The temporary game show renaissance is on! Within days, an unfixed all-multiple choice Twenty One with Maury Povich will premiere on NBC. Along the way, they'll be countless time period switches, the live band will be dropped, the payout structure will be changed and Maury will shed his ties. Winning Lines, CBS's venture into the potential million-dollar victory fold, bows in prime time starring Dick Clark and The Wonderwall!!!

Maybe tomorrow I'll write a column.

The real "Retrovision" column is on the front page. All the others are the generic what you wrote. Evidently, your stupidity is showing.
