Don't Forget The Lyrics! Season 1 Release Date, Cast, And More Information

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

According to Popculture, the OG version of "Don't Forget the Lyrics!" was canceled because its ratings were so low, so it might seem like an odd move to bring it back over a decade later. However, it had some stiff competition when it originally premiered: the similar NBC game show "The Singing Bee." NBC's take on the idea was a bigger hit ratings-wise, according to Pop Matters, but now that it's long gone, "Don't Forget the Lyrics!" might fare better.

Fans of musical wordsmithery can start testing their own musical knowledge when Season 1 of the reboot premieres May 23, 2022, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. on Fox. According to Deadline, viewers will also be able to watch the show on Fox's streaming platform Tubi. Some of the songs featured in a preview clip include the NSYNC earworm "Bye Bye Bye," the Madonna classic "Borderline" and Meghan Trainor's toe-tapper "All About That Bass." According to the show's description, "Contestants will choose songs from different genres, decades and musical artists." They have to accurately complete the lyrics to 10 tunes if they want to take home the $1 million top prize.

Creator Jeff Apploff believes that the reboot is primed for success, pointing out that his original concept was popular enough that he was able to sell it "in over 20 countries around the world," per Deadline. He added, "The time is perfect to make it even bigger and better."
