I’ve been watching this show including the OG one since I was a baby, especially when I saw Joe and Steve and I love them so very much! Plus, it even taught me with lots of moral lessons in lots of episodes to do once I get older, and since it is turning 30 years old later this month, I’m still pretty glad that we keep getting the new content of this beloved franchise. To celebrate 30th anniversary of Blue Clues, what was your favorite moment throughout this franchise?

I am losing my absolute mind at home listening to the inescapable Kars4Kids car donation commercial. While that California court case made massive news this summer for trying to ban the jingle as a "strategy of deception," local Tri-State media completely refuses to let it die. Apparently, the ad got a temporary stay on appeal in June to keep airing, and New York stations are taking full advantage of it. Ngl, if I turn on News 12 on my TV, there are the kids faking playing the instruments, and if I switch on 1010 WINS on the radio for a quick local news update, the jingle blasts into my living room. It is a total assault on the senses, and I literally have to scramble to hit the mute button on my radio and TV the second it starts playing. Why are we in NY/NJ still being punished with this earworm when other regions are actively fighting to legally scrub it from the airwaves?

I wanted to know who your favorite main actress is on the show. For example, my personal favorites are Ariel Winter (who played Alex) and Frances Anderson (who played Lily), but what do you guys think and why?

Which Dhar Mann actors do you find forgettable or just don't remember seeing on the channel anymore? For me, it’s Megan Cochrane and Georgia MacPhail. Who are the actors you completely forgot about that don't appear in the videos anymore?

Remember that mysterious Playbill EPA notice from last month that everyone was trying to decode? It is officially confirmed now because Broadway Up Close just shared a video of the crew physically putting up the Downstate marquee letters outside the Booth Theatre. It is so cool to see it actually happening after all the rumors online, and I am honestly just thrilled that this speculation turned out to be 100% true!

With Family Feud hitting its 50th anniversary milestone season, I’ve been thinking about my own history with the show. It hit me today that the John O’Hurley era was actually the very first version of the show I ever watched.

Growing up, I used to catch his episodes all the time in syndication on My9 (WWOR-TV) and on Game Show Network. Before I ever knew anything about Richard Dawson or the classic 70s and 80s runs. O’Hurley was the definitive host to me. I originally recognized his voice from his voice-over and animation roles, so seeing him step onto a game show stage was really cool. He brought his specific theatrical, and elegant energy to the podium that felt totally unique compared to what Steve Harvey does now or what Richard Karn did right before him.

It made me curious about how everyone else got into the series. Did you grow up watching the classic network era from the beginning, or was your gateway into the show a later syndication run or rerun block like Combs, Karen, O’Hurley, or Harvey?

Just earlier like a couple hours ago, as I watched the reruns, there was a promo warning to the viewers that it’s going to be reimagined as Animal-ation Domination on Fox since Animal Control is joining the 8:30 PM slot between The Simpsons, and Universal Basic Guys when it returns next month on Sept 27. So what do y’all guys think about the new name?

Now that we have today's official announcement that George Salazar and Jimin Moon are joining the cast on August 25 to replace Harvey Guillén and Josh Rivera, the Studio 54 principal lineup is completely shifting. Rachel Dratch is confirmed to be staying for now, but she won't be there forever. Since her chaotic, crowd-work-heavy take on the Narrator has been such a massive highlight of this revival, how do you think they will replace her when the time comes? Do you think the creative team will stick with an SNL-style comedic actress to keep her specific vibe going, or pivot back to a more traditional casting choice?

I didn’t catch Giulia: The Poison Queen of Palermo at PAC NYC, but I’ve been following it closely because I really wanted to see Naomi Serrano. I heard she was absolutely amazing pulling double duty as the daughter and the Little Devil! The consensus seems to be that the show has massive potential but still needs significant work on the book and staging before it’s Broadway-ready. For those who actually saw it and caught Naomi's performance, what specific changes do you think are necessary to make the show work on a larger scale, and do you think a Broadway transfer is realistically in the cards?

I just finished listening to the OBC album and got so hyped for the upcoming revival. I know the original announcement targeted Fall 2026, but since August is hours away with no theater or cast announced, it obviously isn't happening this season.

I know Jennifer Hudson joined the producing team back in February and even said "this fall cannot come soon enough," but things have been completely quiet since. Do you think the delay is because of that massive global casting search for Effie, or is it due to behind-the-scenes producer shifts?

Has anyone heard any concrete updates on whether they are pushing it to 2027?

Hey everyone, I wanted to share this incredible piece of television history from the 1964 NBC daytime run of Let's Make a Deal featuring a contestant named Marty Taylor. Finding any surviving footage from this specific era is a total miracle since NBC wiped almost all of the master tapes from the daytime run. In this short highlight, Monty Hall tries to buy Marty out of her choice with cash, but she turns down the money and wins a beautiful set of wrought iron furniture instead. I am sharing this here today because early NBC clips are highly sought-after archival history, and I thought the classic game show fans and media archivists in this community would love analyzing the original 1960s set design, pricing, and pacing.
