Sony to possibly acquire MGM. Game shows included?

I understand that MGM does not do TV Production much, but really, Sony Pictures Television could dish out new revivals of High Rollers and Gambit! How does that sound? [/quote]

 About as good of an idea as "The Neighbors" getting revived on ABC Daytime.

And judging the style, format, and quality of The Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour (which I agree was all wrong), I'm not sure I blame him!

 Did you read the rest of the thread?

That was a rumor based on either A) Gene Wood's claim that he was "dragged kicking and screaming into the hour," or B) comments he made about Break the Bank.

Just a reminder--the money's not in the actual existing programs with game shows, it's in the formats--and Sony's a lot better equipped to exploit the H-Q and other formats around the world, particularly in those markets where studio game shows are still more than viable, than MGM seemed to be.

However, there is an MGM property that the new GSN might be interested in, even if it has been exposed elsewhere on cable--"American Gladiators."
