Weakest Link

Out of all of the terrible remakes of classic game shows that have been coming out (Millionaire, Supermarket Sweep, Name That Tune) and even new ones that are just awful (The Hustler), this is the only one (besides maybe Match Game) that I not only enjoy, but also look forward to each new episode. Even the new The Chase is not as compelling as its predecessors.

Love Jane Lynch as the host. Only real complaints I have are that some jokes fall flat, and I wish the question rounds were longer.

EDIT: I take back what I said about jokes falling flat. I think they perfectly add to the host's character of "I don't care if you think I'm funny, i really don't want to be here."

I am loving this show and already hope it will get renewed for Season 2. It's exciting, fun to watch, and Jane has her funny moments. I haven't watched the original show, but watching this version was definitely enjoyable. I look forward to watching each episode!

Similarly to Wheel of Fortune, a fan of game shows soon learns what 70% of a show to skip. Bringing the whole WL show down to one player who probably had little right to get all the money takes away all my interest in who votes how. If the players would coordinate at all they would realize that the most money comes from banking more often when the (early) chains' money jumps are unchanging, and delaying banking in later, longer chains with their super payoffs. Until that happens, the host's endless admonitions about how much potential money was lost are repetitive fluff. Other than that, good trivia questions being answered quickly is very entertaining.

Show concept is great but the actual weakest link should be removed or the strongest should have power of "Vito" as when there is a tie which is decided by strongest link. Watching the smartest get eliminated with the most fortunate winning is unfulfilling and silly. The popular choice would be to see the smartest not the luckiest win. Without Jane Lynch hosting I wouldn't watch at all.

In 2001, The Weakest Link made its debut in the UK and was hosted by the brutally honest Anne Robinson, who was later known as the Queen of Mean. After its success, it later launched in the US with the Queen of Mean herself as the host. Despite the heavy promotion and early high ratings, it later got canned after a year.

In 2020, NBC revived the show with a new host that has some Anne Robinson vibes while also being herself at the same time: Jane Lynch.

So, if you enjoy the original Weakest Link, then take a shot of this version.
