'Loteria Loca' Can't Fill Its Bingo Card

[Mark Jeffries]

The CBS game show had been running along with a prime time "The Price is Right" on Monday nights against Monday Night Football and "The Voice"--five episodes have aired, the Christmas show will air during the holidays and the other four episodes will probably burn off on Saturday nights sometime in 2024--for now, two weeks of an "NCIS" marathon for the next two Mondays and a prime time "Let's Make a Deal" on Nov. 20 and 27 at 9 p.m., in between "NCIS" reruns on the 20th and in between the umpteenth airing of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and an "NCIS" rerun on the 27th:

Yeah, it's the first apparent cancellation of this strike-affected season.

And the scheduled "Price" episodes will pop up somewhere--they'll just have to edit out from this Monday's regular show Drew's plug for the nighttime show.

It was weapons-grade stupid but I actually liked it. 

That said, any show where they have to spend several minutes at the start of the show explaining how it works is probably not long for the world.

Actually, done twice--in the overproduced opening and Jaime Camil to the contestants as if they were not going to do the overproduced opening. 

And considering that they were taping the show in Madrid (with no tax credits--que lastima!), there had to be people in the studio audience thinking "what is all this Mexican crap?"
