Whew question
« on: February 20, 2004, 04:45:42 PM »
Could the show WHEW! work in syndication? I was just wondering because the show lasted for a year and could have been a hit.

Yes, but only if they change the format to that of "The Oprah Winfrey Show."  Seriously, no, any little-remembered show that has been off for 20 years is a "longshot" for revival.

Honestly, I think the show is too complicated for our audience. Remember, people like their shows simple. :-P

Three's a Crowd was gone and forgotten for 20+ years, yet GSN revived that...

Anyway, I think Whew! could work without any format changes. The game is very fast paced, and that alone would please those with a shorter attention span.
Heck, I think it's possible to fit in two Gauntlets a show.

I'd love to see a revival happen, of course, considering I did my own version, I guess I have a bias towards it.

I don't see it happening in real life, but I still think it might work...

Here's my idea.  What think?
