I love Vegas. PM me some details about your budget, dates you are going, and if there’s other stuff you may want to do other than the festival.

Paramount will be pissed off as Sony is clearly trying to get distribution control back. But this is really going to hurt ABC most of all as Wheel & J! are mostly its pre-primetime lead-in.

Those are not mutually exclusive options.

Since federal law expressly prohibits a game show’s producers from predetermining the outcome (and I would think that owning/licensing the computer code wouldn’t let them skirt law here), I would hopefully assume that it’s really bad editing here. Otherwise, shouldn’t losing contestants just sue?

Its timeslot is a pretty tough one. Survivor/Amazing Race, Chicago Fire, and The Floor are weighty competition. Plus there’s one less hour for DVR viewing to get into play. CJ would probably do better in July/August when the syndicated show goes into reruns.

Remember that for some people, that may be a step up.
