DERIV-A-GAME
« on: July 25, 2004, 12:50:50 AM »
Here's how a clever computer programmer could make a zillion dollars in the tee-vee bidness: write a program called DERIV-A-GAME.

Go through EOTVGS and put a format description of every game/quiz/reality show ever done into a database. The program would have a list of every show in the database with a checkbox beside the name of each show. To create a new derivative, simply check the boxes next to the shows containing the elements you want in your derivative. The program then prints out a treatment of your new derivative. You might want to change the title the progam comes up with, in the case of Studio 7 probably something like "The Weakest Stein's Squares".

Just think of the fun you could have with the titles alone:

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire + Bumper Stumpers = "Who Wants To Be A Bumper?"

Name That Tune + Hot Potato = "Name That Potato"

To Tell the Truth + Win Ben Stein's Money + Showoffs = "To Tell Ben Stein Off"

It Could Be You + People Are Funny = "It Could Be Funny"

Beat the Clock + Do You Trust Your Wife? = "Beat Your ..." oh, let's not go there

Beat the Clock + Swap Meet = say, was there ever a show or pilot named Swap Meet?

The possibilities are endless.

(I get 10% of that zillion dollars.)

Got any others?

Jackpot + Blackout = ...  [Chuck]I wouldn't touch that one with a forklift.[/CW]

Darn you, Chris, now you've got my mind in the gutter!  :-) OK, let's try this again:

Blackout + Jackpot = Blackjack

Go + Figure it Out = Go Figure

Smush + How Do You Like Your Eggs? = omelette :-)

This is fun...

It's Anybody's Guess + Child's Play = It's Anybody's Child

Whose Line is it Anyway + Press Your Luck + The Parent Game = Who's Your Daddy?

Your Number's Up! + The Better Sex + Maximum Drive = Your Sex Drive's Up!

The Cheap Show + The Better Sex = Cheap Sex

What's Going On? + The Better Sex = What's Sex?

I'm Telling! + You Don't Know Jack + All About Faces + The Better Sex = I'm Telling You You Don't Know Jack About Sex

You can see where my head is...and my mind. :-P
