Mentioned here back in early October, a premiere has now been set for the William Shatner hosted game show “Show Me The Money”.
The program will premiere Wednesday, November 22nd at 8:00-9:00 p.m., ET.
In Show Me the Money contestants must answer a minimum of six trivia questions. After each answer, the contestant chooses from among thirteen stunning dancers on stage, each of whom holds a scroll with a dollar figure to be added or subtracted — for correct or incorrect answers — to the contestants total.
A correct answer, combined with choosing a dancer holding big money, can quickly catapult the players winnings into the millions. But a wrong answer, combined with the wrong dancer, can wipe out winnings in an instant. There is no opportunity to play it safe contestants will be tempted to take the money and run, but this rollercoaster ride of a game show requires that you play to the very end.

IESB.net is reporting on their website that a second film in the newly re-established Superman franchise has now been given an official go. The site is claiming that Singer has reached an agreement with Warner Bros. on the sequel, which will apparently start to get underway next fall and feature more action.
There are however, some conditions, mainly with the budget. Unlike the high $208M budget + $50M for prints and advertising of ‘Returns’ (which also included all the failed projects), this movie will range somewhere around $140-$175 million + prints.

Beginning November 30th, NBC will premiere and new line-up on Thursday nights, removing Deal or No Deal and replacing it with two sitcoms; the new “30 Rock” and the returning “Scrubs”.
“Deal Or No Deal” will not be moved to a new night, instead that franchise will go on with just two episodes a week; Monday and Friday.
The new line-up will be as follows:
- 8:00 PM – “My Name Is Earl”
- 8:30 PM – “The Office
- 9:00 PM – “30 Rock”
- 9:30 PM – “Scrubs”
That obviously means there will be three scripted medical shows on the evening; Grey’s Anatomy at 9:00 PM on ABC, and Scrubs at 9:30 PM and E.R. at 10:00 PM on NBC.
“Twenty Good Years” (which currently leads out of “30 Rock” Wednesday’s at 8:30 PM) has been put on an indefinite hiatus.
