A quick musical stinger and a wipe that more or less replicates the title card seems to be a fairly common thing during BBC shows.

On the other hand, you don't necessarily need to have stopdowns during the show. To go back to the BBC, Mastermind appears to be a single 28-minute take.
Two things irked me about Two Minute Drill: one is that the amount of content was ten minutes instead of sixteen. Second is that the specialist round instead became the double-your-bucks question. One of the things I'm enjoying about having the entire 2015-2016 series to watch is learning about stuff that I wouldn't pick up a book to read normally but now I'm broadening my horizons a little.

Having watched as much on Netflix as I have in the past month or so, I really haven't given much thought to the fact that ad breaks are missing--the action just stops, fade to black for about a second and then it kicks back up. Just about any standard-issue game show could follow that path, and the bonus would be that with no restrictions on time that more content could be played. I do love my content.
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

Re: Grundy: Nobody is arguing that point. I'm arguing the point of cracking jokes about a guy in the immediate aftermath of his death. Which, regardless of the person, is to me not cool. Nothing more or less.

If it's your Uncle Phil, sure, I get it. If it's a public figure who you know nothing about aside from seeing his name between the words "A" and "Production", then I stand with Uncle Hulka.

Fair enough.

The success of Sports Jeopardy! on Crackle (soon to move to television on NBCSN) has convinced other streaming services like Netflix to try their hand at game shows.

Since he created the show for PBS, maybe Bob Boden could try to revive "Think Twice" for Hulu with John O'Hurley as host.
