An ad popped up in a game on my phone for TNT's
The Great Escape -- from the creators of
The Amazing Race and whatnot.
http://thegreatescape.tntdrama.com/I watched the Alcatraz episode online tonight (you need to have credentials from a participating cable/satellite company, unfortunately) and I have to say, I enjoyed it a lot. Sure, it's not a traditional quizzer, but it was a fun competition show with good pacing, and a surprisingly large payday for the winning team.
For some reason it reminded me a lot of the short-lived
Take the Money and Run reality/competition show -- it looks like there's at least one name common to both shows in the credits, so perhaps that's the reason.
According to
the Wiki article, TNT has ordered ten episodes. (Note: the Wiki article spoils the outcomes of the aired episodes.)
Has anyone else watched the show? Thoughts?
(Only slightly related, I got a chuckle out of the text that Google put on the map of Alcatraz when I did a Google search to check my spelling.)
