I've been wondering if this show was even still in production. Every time I turn it on it seems to be an episode that I've already seen, or even if I haven't seen it, it's an episode from a year or two ago. But now GSN has announced that the Chuck Woolery-hosted spelling game show will be back for a sixth season. Shandi Finnessey will be back as his co-host, typing away at the computer and starting each game, and there will be four special episodes where online champions face off against TV champions.
OK, so this game isn't exactly Jeopardy. It might not even be Wheel Of Fortune, but I enjoy it. And as I've said here before, I like it when Shandi says "Lingo balls."
The new season starts on April 2.

Lino balls. lol
I like Lingo too, Bob.
My guiltiest pleasure on GSN, however, is reruns of $100,000 Pyramid starring Dick Clark!! It was on for like 15 years or something. I love the game, but I especially love the cheezy celebrities: Old soap stars and stars from shows like "Hotel" and the like. It's fun.

That's good that Lingo is returning for a 6th season. Maybe they were running new shows on GSN when you weren't watching. But this is a much better show for Chuck Woolery than the short lived Greed on Fox. Fox wanted to challenge ABC's hugely popular Millionnaire and it backfired in their face.
