On The Air: Person, Place, or Thing (2023)

 It's a variation on the traditional game of 20 questions, now in its 2nd season, while its host is adding to her workload.

Said host is actress Melissa Peterman, and the game is Person, Place, or Thing, which, on the surface, looks like an easy game to play, but in front of cameras and overhead lights, not so much.

Peterman (ex-Reba, Bet on Your Baby, Young Sheldon) is back in primetime this season in NBC's Happy's Place, which reunites her with Reba McEntire. I'm willing to bet that if Happy's, which just picked up a full-season order from NBC, is renewed for a 2nd season, Person might not make it to a 3rd.

Here's a sampler from last season:


Last season, the local affiliate aired a full hour of this show, then scaled it down to 1 episode per night to make room for Jaleel White's Flip Side (previously reviewed). If that ain't an ominous sign, I don't know what is.

Rating: B-.
