Contestants on Don't Forget the Lyrics will choose songs from different genres, decades and musical artists and try to remember the lyrics after the music stops.

Jesus Christ, is every little thing going to be turned into a reality show?

If it weren't for the threat of lawsuits we'd already have "Drink Me Under the Table."

We all sing and start humming or making up the words but I'm not sure that really makes enough for a show. I might give it a shot. There's nothing on TV right now.

I predict "National Charades" where the viewer phones in their guesses on what the idiot on screen is giving clues for.... fun for the whole family...

Yes, and according to a promo they showed during Last Comic Standing last night, NBC has pushed the premiere of The Singing Bee up to July 10, the day before FOX premieres their show. Singing Bee was supposed to start in the fall. If they don't have episodes in the can already, they're going to have to rush to get the episodes done which probably wouldn't be a good thing for the show.

I liked that show too. An original idea. I'm a little surprised it hasn't been updated and revised like many other game shows.

I think it has something to do with the fact that most music today doesn't have a "tune". It's just beats and samples.

wow...two networks doing IDENTICAL shows. never seen that before. </sarcasm>

but seriously these producers and the heads of all these HUGE networks are idiots - all they do is copy each other. i would think that with their 7 figure incomes they wouldnt resort to copying other ideas and at least try to earn their salaries. why cant they come up with their own ideas? why does nbc (or fox or abc or cbs...) pay these guys millions to just copy another channels idea?

seriously - every year they BLATANTLY copy each other. this is pathetic.

Ya that's true, the first time I heard "Crazy in Love" I was like "oh, the Chi-Lites"
