What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the NBC television network, The Wall TV show is hosted by Chris Hardwick. The game follows pairs of players as they pursue a cash prize of up to $12 million. When a team answers a trivia question correctly, a green ball drops from the top of the grid-like wall and bounces randomly toward the bottom of the four-stories high structure. At the bottom of the wall, the ball will land in one of many slots, each with a value of $1 to $1 million. That value is added to the team’s total winnings. If the team misses a question, a red ball descends toward a random slot. The resulting amount is then deducted from the team’s total. In this game, players need both the answers and lucky bounces, to win a big cash prize.
Season Three Ratings
Season 3A of The Wall (which aired during the 2019-20 season) averages a 0.53 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.14 million viewers. Compared to the second half of season two (which aired during the 2017-18 season), that’s down by 50% in the demo and down by 40% in viewership.
Season 3B (which aired during the 2020-21 season) averaged a 0.53 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.32 million viewers. Compared to the second half of season two, that’s down by 50% in the demo and down by 36% in viewership.

Telly’s Take
Will NBC cancel or renew The Wall for season four? The series has done pretty well for the network in the past as a utility player, filling in gaps in the schedule as needed. However, the show’s been off the air for over two years and it seems that some viewers have forgotten about it. If you look at the ratings, the audience has really dropped off. As a result, I’m thinking that The Wall will be cancelled. (Since 20 episodes have been produced, it seems possible that NBC will, once again, split the season into two parts and save some episodes for the 2020-21 season.)

What do you think? Are you glad that The Wall TV show has been renewed for a fourth season? How would you feel if NBC had cancelled this TV series, instead?
The Wall is a GREAT, GREAT show. I look forward to watching every episode. How can you not be excited for deserving people to not win large amounts of money? Please, please renew this show.
Please let the show THE WALL come back on it was a family game show that my family loves we get together at one someone’s house and enjoy it even the reruns but they are starting to get old so we need new ones
I will be very disappointed it the Wall is not renewed and we will get season 4. I have enjoyed season 3 and watched every episode. I have a few friends that feel the same.
I love the game show. Wall hope it gets to stay on. My son and I watch it. We sit and try to answer the questions. Then I get so excited when the ball drops. Root for it to hit a high amount. Please bring it back.
I LOVE THE WALL. I watch it with my husband. We try to answer all the questions and root for the contestants when the ball drops. It is a really exciting game. PLEASE!!! Let there be a season 4!!!
It’s really exciting suspenseful. Please bring it back.
please renew The Wall, such an entertaining evening, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Please renew the wall!
Renew the wall
Yes it should come back for another season! Good people doing good things in life with a chance to get a financial windfall!
In the Third Round for season 4, I suggest doing a mega-drop called 13th drop, where they drop 13 balls. 1 ball from slot 1 & 7, 2 balls from slots 2, 3, 5, 6, and 3 balls from slot 4. 13 million could be easily won, but it will be very unlikely. They also have to do a red 13th Drop
Please renew this show for AT LEAST another season and do better advertising so the ratings go up. It is one of the most exciting shows on TV now and the contestants are all very likable and fun to watch. I am a senior and this is one of my favorite shows
Please keep this show on the air. I really enjoy it and I know some seniors that do. It is exciting to see people who really deserve it to see how much money they can make. I am a senior and there is not much on TV these days that I care to watch but I enjoy the wall. Please again….. leave it on the air. Thank you
I loved the show can’t wait to see another
I LOVE the wall please don’t cancel it. Besides LeBron James is doing a good thing for people who deserve it. How many other game shows do that? ZERO.
I agree please keep the wall! I look forward to watching every week!
