Game Show Marathon Commercial during Survivor Reunion Show

[gamed121683]

I'm sure everyone is checking out the posted clip but somehow I can't see it. Apprently, the file is "not a file that QT understands". Any suggestions?

What codec/player do I need to play this file?  Neither my Mac or my Windows XP machine seem to have it...

[clemon79]

It's MPEG2, so most likely a DVD codec of some kind.

EDIT: Not anymore. I reencoded it to a straight MPEG so that you don't need a DVD codec on your system to play it. Same location and filename.

Windows Media Player 10 played it fine for me w/o a problem.

I'm guessing these folks don't have a DVD codec installed. It was pretty simple to reencode it to straight MPEG so that everyone ought to be able to play it now, so I did. Plus it made the file an MB smaller, which is always good.

I'm getting a 404 when I try the link on your site.  Too much traffic?  'D you take down the clip?

You prolly hit it when I was swapping out the original MPEG-2 clip for the new friendlier MPEG-1 version. Try it now.

Gracias!  Que bueno!  (Just tying in to that "Feud/Price" thread.)

[inturnaround]

Wow, just wow. If the shows are produced as well as they seem to have been art directed, then we're in for a treat.

Thanks Chris for the clip. Much appreciated.

[Casey]

Thanks for this!  The sets do look amazing.  Nice to see a legitimate recreation of the classic sets rather than what we've been subjected to lately for the real revivals.  Can't wait to see the series...

[BrandonFG]

Gracious almighty, that is BEAUTIFUL.

I just wished I had done my laundry BEFORE watching the clip.

I'm also glad I'm sitting down to see that - holy crap!!! Whoever said the sets were true to the show wasn't kidding- WOW! Now I'm really excited. (However, first person to nitpick about things like the font on the MG nameplates doesn't match - I will send Karlberg over to throw your set out the window.)

Dammit, Aaron! If you hadn't said something, I would've been fine! Now, I'm gonna have to boycott the Marathon. Geez!

[michaellinn]

Thanks, Chris! Really looks great. Looking forward to watching the show.

[MrGameShow]

I'm glad to see they've started to promo the show.. but now most of the outcome is spoiled.. we know who comes down to the final two in Feud (the last show).

I'll be watching intently for the PYL edition to see my prize slides on the board! Hope I did the show justice!

Seeing the "Feud" clip, however, made me wonder something. I'm not trying to sound like a fanboi who loves the original sets, but I couldn't help wondering...Alex was saying on his blog that the sets were built for a reason...Is it possible that the "Feud" set will be retained for the new season? Just a thought...

Here's what I know.  These are basically, as many expected, mini-pilots.  If you guys email, call, and write CBS and Fremantle enough, these will come back.  There is at least one that's already in planning to be revived fulltime, but you guys can play a major portion of the rest.  So go to Fremantle and CBS's website and literally beg them.  Written letters and calls work MUCH better than emails.  And this being my first TV job that I've actually been able to see on TV, it's kinda weird seeing my stuff up there.

Just like they listened to the vox populi with regard to the Price job, right?
