Name That Tune

Couldn't get past Jane Krakowski. Why all the mugging for the camera? Sorry. Can't do it.

This incarnation of the popular musical quiz show features the multi-talented Jane Krakowski as host and Randy "Dawg" Jackson on piano. Two contestants compete for money by displaying their talents at identifying songs by clues and musical snippets.

There are two contests in an episode, and the formats vary, but much of the game is identical to the original game show, including the showdowns where players try to identify songs by as few notes as possible.

The show lacks some suspense, but the contests move along quickly, the band is very talented, and they play for big bucks. It's a reasonable trade-off.

Get off the "overproduced" bandwagon and watch this show. Talented people playing and singing the songs and Jane picks up right where she left off on 30 Rock, she's the perfect host for this show. It's fun for the whole family.

The concept of a game show centered around naming a song can be great. The execution in this show was awful. The audience is very fake with how excited they get, and the attempts at building suspense are laughable. The hostess is also laughably bad.

The game itself isn't too bad, similar to the original. The crowd 'oooos' all the time gets annoying quick during the bidding and trying to 'capture' reactions of the crowd seems scripted like they do on the 'Masked' shows. It's a sub par reboot... but what do you expect from prime time TV these days?
