The 'Bee' Is Back
October 3, 2007 11:35 AM
The summer season of “The Singing Bee” was a big success. We were America’s number one new show and got loads of positive feedback. Now that fall is here, we’re revving things up to a whole new level. “The Singing Bee” kicked off the new season last night in its all new time slot (Tuesday at 8PM on NBC). The millions who tuned in got the first look at a bunch of enhancements we’ve made to the show.
On the entertainment front, we are starting off each episode with musical guests. So far, we’ve booked Barry Manilow, Toni Basil and the Village People. Theme nights will also become a key element. A sneak peek at some of the themes you can look forward to—a Lennon/McCartney night, a Halloween theme night, One Hit Wonders and even a Green episode.
We’re also cranking up the competitive dynamic of the show. The champion from each episode now returns to defend the title. So, an initial win on “The Singing Bee” could lead to a string of repeat visits.
If you’re an avid “Bee” watcher, you may also have noticed on the new season premiere that we’ve made the game more intimate by having fewer contestants on stage at the start of each episode. We also added some new games to test the players’ lyrical knowledge in interesting ways, while spicing up the at-home viewer experience.
We’ll continue to fine tune “The Singing Bee” to make it the best show possible. Questions, comments, suggestions or favorite misheard lyrics are all welcome in the comments section below.
Bee well,

This is a great show.
I love the songs they sing.
"Sugar,Sugar" should be one of the songs they use
It's perfect for their one hit wonders segment.
Hope this show becomes a huge hit.
It's so good for the songwriters of the world.
