They should've had Yvette Nicole Brown or Octavia Spencer host Supermarket Sweep rather than Leslie Jones

It was OK, not as good as the original ! But still fun !

Is anyone else having trouble deciphering all of the language in the episodes, or do I really need to take a course in Ebonics?

I like it - I think some of the questions are way too easy but other than that it moves along. It's doing really well in the ratings.

I see most posters I agree with. Leslie Jones is NOT suited to host a game show. Way too loud and her clothes could be better. Ripped jeans?? The show it self wasn't bad but get a new host. Was she on Saturday Night Live at one time??? I don't understand why hosts have to shout. I see the old1950 and 1960's shows on Buzzer and the shows are soothing to see.

That's a stretch. Supermarket Sweep is doing ok enough for renewal, but I wouldn't say really well.

It's ABC's highest rated show on Sunday night, beating everything, including Card Sharks and Millionaire.

It's Sunday night rating beat EVERY show ABC had on last night.

it is cheap to make, plus they make a lot of money off of product placements.

You don't have to like it, but there is no question is doing really well.

Best rating out of FOUR shows including itself on Sunday. That hardly makes up the whole ABC lineup... Cheap to make and product placements does NOT mean doing really well, it just means they are cheap... Maybe if they had paid more for a better host its quality would have been closer to the Lifetime version. But Leslie Jones has been absolutely terrible. Just being a fan of a show's previous incarnation does not qualify you to be a game show host, that lady does not know how to speak in a normal voice. Is it doing ok for renewal? Yes, ok enough there but that in no way makes it a hit or doing really well.
