Bad actress, bad host, really bad at comedy. She just ruins everything. What were the producers thinking putting her in as a host? Oh, this show was meant to fail...
I can hardly get through an episode. Too drawn out and too much "fluff" between Jane & Randy....drives me nuts. I was so excited for this show and so incredibly let down. Could have been so much better...what a waste.
Get off the "overproduced" bandwagon and watch this show. Talented people playing and singing the songs and Jane picks up right where she left off on 30 Rock, she's the perfect host for this show. It's fun for the whole family.
Their first season that was shot in Australia was the best, mostly because the band they put together was really good. Much of the band changed in the later seasons and never was as impressive.
Jane and Randy seemed to have more fun in the first season. Having random prizes early on was fun and the goofy way the band would sing the prize was entertaining.
Sometimes I wish the bid-a-note section didn't have such giveaway clues so that people were actually guessing it based off of the notes more. It frequently happens that the person that isn't good at guessing from the music is better at guessing from the clues so they win that section and we end up with the weakest contestant for the final round.
It would be nice if they made sure they had a wide variety of music each time too. Because it is easy for them to do more songs that are old or more that are new and whichever contestant is more familiar with that genre will always win.

This incarnation of the popular musical quiz show features the multi-talented Jane Krakowski as host and Randy "Dawg" Jackson on piano. Two contestants compete for money by displaying their talents at identifying songs by clues and musical snippets.
There are two contests in an episode, and the formats vary, but much of the game is identical to the original game show, including the showdowns where players try to identify songs by as few notes as possible.
The show lacks some suspense, but the contests move along quickly, the band is very talented, and they play for big bucks. It's a reasonable trade-off.

- TriviaThe entire first season was filmed in Sydney, Australia. This was because unlike in the United States, the COVID-19 virus was contained well enough in Australia to film a show with a full normal audience. However, proper safety and health procedures were still taken. (Also, the audience was reportedly made up of American expats to make the show look more American.)
