GSM: The Sequel

Sad thing is I could hear Roger Rose saying just that, Chris.

And here's your fallacy; you think that CBS will show restraint and not run it into the ground if it gets decent numbers. Remember, this is the network with three different CSI shows.

That's true, but at least they'd be running it. How about Press Your Luck: Criminal Intent?

Wrong network -- Law & Order: Criminal Intent is on NBC.  Otherwise you just know Dick Wolf would be pushing for a Special Whammies Unit spinoff. :-)

Rich was actually the first choice of producers to travel and deliver the prizes.  His TPIR taping schedule made that impossible, as well as being the reason he was not "in studio" for some of the tapings.[/quote]

You seem to have forgotten to post the fact that Rich wasn't the producers' first choice to announce GSM episodes 2-7 and that another announcer was originally scheduled to do those shows (and, in fact, actually did warm-up the crowd and announce the LMAD episode). That would be another reason Rich wasn't "in studio." He wasn't supposed to really be there as the announcer at all.

from what I've seen of it, the US version of Call My Bluff could've been a nice little daytime staple if the bluffs weren't so freakin horrible. At least the UK seemed to get it right.  It's also part of the Goodson-Todman library, so rights issues wouldn't be a problem.

Until recently, I had no idea that Call My Bluff was doing so well in the UK that it stuck around awhile (is it still on there?).  I'd love to see it and be able to compare it with the US version since I understand at least one broadcast-quality NBC print survives.

To my knowledge, 'Bluff' ended in 2005 in the UK.
As for the existing US episodes, one with Abe Burrows & Peggy Cass is around in black and white. UCLA has a January test episode with Betty White & Gene Rayburn, also in black and white. Sadly, no color episodes exist.

I know I'm a late entry in this fantasyland thread, but I'm surprised I haven't seen one particular Fremantle format mentioned I think would be fun in a "future marathon": Blockbusters. Considering some celeb IQs, some of the answers could be pretty good!

P.S. Hey, Jake! How's it goin..?
