I'll Have Some Sharks with Whammies on the Side

[silverscreenselect]

ABC will revive both Press Your Luck and Card Sharks this summer. No word on hosts yet, but filming will begin later this spring for summer airings. My guess is that both shows will be an hour long with another hour long game show added for an entire evening.

They already have Pyramid and To Tell the Truth. I don't know if Gong Show was officially cancelled.

The Futon Critic keeps pretty good tabs on this stuff, and they say:

STATUS:
on hiatus or fate to be determined

Yeah...they don’t know either

Had there been an official cancellation announcement from ABC, they would have updated this to "canceled/ended (2017-2018 season)."

I just meant there have been so many shows in the past several years that have never been officially cancelled, but have only gone "on hiatus". At this point "on hiatus" often means nobody really knows what's going on.

They have another blurb, which covers those situations (where the network thinks no one will notice that a series doesn't return):

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
a show on hiatus for longer than 12 months - without any news about its future - is assumed to be canceled

Elizabeth Banks will be hosting Press Your Luck to premiere June 12 on ABC.
