They're turning Gilligan's Island into a reality show.  You don't suppose they'll ever make George of the Jungle into a game show, will they?  I can just imagine: the object is to swing into as few trees as possible.

 Want more ideas along that line?  I know someone's blurty that recently posted some others....;-)

Back to the topic of the WOF pilots...in the thread I asked about, there were some references to someone having seen the Byrnes pilot.  Would this mean someone has a copy out there?

Welcome to Matt Ottinger's "Masters of the Obvious"!   [/quote]
now THAT would be a good panel show, and one I would gladly serve on. [/quote]
 Sounds like a TTTT ripoff, but I am not FreMangle, nor do I have any duck in this race

Seriously, the Shopper's Bazaar title might have worked out in the '70s and '80s with the amount of Prizes that had on the turntable(including the Dalmatian, which I am sure you all remember!!)

Seriously now, I'm guessing that the title was changed because of its homophonic potential.

"Did you see the lady who won on Edd Byrnes's show yesterday?  Man, that Shopper's Bizarre!"

[The Ol' Guy]

Oh, yes...Shopper's Bizarre. I loved it when they sang "Feelin' Groovy"....
Whatever became of them?










Oh. Never mind....

You know, when you think about it, Pitfall was sorta like that.

 Wonder if the bonus round has contestants facing off Super Chicken or Tom Slick (LOL)!
