Thread over. No more calls, please.

For a million dollars, can you unspool a roll of toilet paper with your body in 60 seconds?

"Find out on Million-Dollar Beat the Clock!"

By choosing easily replicated challenges, NBC hopes to increase the level of at-home participation and the potential to expand the game to other platforms. The network will post demonstrations of 50 games on a Web site before the show's launch, allowing potential contestants and viewers to practice the tasks.

"Honey, why is there toilet paper all over the bathroom floor?"

it looks and feels like we're creating a very different show than any traditional in-studio game show

Beat the Clock debuted on March 23, 1950, almost 60 years ago.

Wouldn't it be fun to see Fremantle and GE duke it out? "Welcome to Battle of the Corporate Lawyers". I'd actually be rooting for Fremantle. How about a game where a panel of four tries to determine a contestant's occupation through questioning?

How do you lure in the younger demographics, besides having every other occupation being "bikini model" or having guests show up 3/4 naked?

You just answered your own question, Michael.

For that matter, how do you come up with BTC stunts which lure in younger demos? Of course the difference between BTC and WML? is that the former is more visual and more mindless.

Each "no" answer from the panel is worth $50,000.

And will be met with loud applause from the audience. Of course, there has to be 10 seconds of silence before each reveal, complete with close-ups of panelists and audience members.

Oh, and during the questioning, there's a music bed consisting of nothing more than eerie humming and timpani rolls.

From this twiwpic and caption from Mr. Fieri, it appears the title has changed to "Minute To Win It".

[weaklink75]

So they decided to steal a catchphrase from a UK version of a US show then?

If there has ever been a more fitting TwitPic than Guy Fieri, I'd like to know it.

NBC announced its schedule post-Olympics (and post-Leno at 10p ET) today.  "Perfect 10," now called "Minute to Win It," will premiere on March 14th at 8p ET, before The Donald...

A tough, competitive time slot against TAR, Ty Pennington Smile Time Show and FOX sitcoms (which tend to swing younger in the demos).  Definite uphill battle for the Peacock.

Probably one of the worst timeslots they could have gotten- and The Marriage Ref will be on Thursdays at 10 as well I see (too bad "Who Do You Think You Are?" was dumped to Friday nights- I've seen the UK version of this, and it can be a fascinating show at times)

As well as Leno's immediate predecessor, Southland. Granted it's going to TNT, but it had a lot of potential.

Sometimes I wonder if NBC is intentionally trying to shoot itself in the foot (rhetorical).
