Duel-over: ABC Trivia Show Returns with New Rules
ABC has ordered a second, 10-episode season of the game show Duel, in which players went head-to-head in a bid to nab a $500,000 top prize. Set to return on Friday nights starting April 4, the new edition will revise the rules somewhat — so as to increase the suspense — as well as tweak the tournament format so that episodes are more self-contained and viewers can more easily sample the show midstream.
Was Duel a show you got into the first time around? (Was it actually on before?)

It was actually pretty good. I enjoyed it the first time around a couple of times. It was on for like 10 days straight or something, which gets old. When will networks learn we don't really want to watch the same show everynight during primetime?

I actually prefer the multi night format. They should just do it three or four times a year. I'm not sure how a weekly format would work. I liked it except for the way they chose the contestants.

It doesn't say much for TVGuide.com when you facetiously pretend not to know about Duel so soon after practically slobbering all over the shoes of The Wire, which virtually no one watched. Duel wasn't bad (as recent game shows go, it's miles better than Deal or No Deal) and though Mike Greenberg is a pompous ass, the format keeps him from showing it as much as he does on the radio (and he'll never be a patch on Dennis Miller in that regard, anyway).
