You guys know that in order to sell a game nowadays, it has to be high-concept and out-of-the-box. Studio 7 (for what it's worth) married a traditional quiz with the live-in reality genre. The Weakest Link combined the questions-against-the-clock quiz with the vote-off of Survivor. Any show that's going to see the light of day nowadays needs to draw from outside the realm of traditional game shows.

I get dibs on To Say the Least + The Miracle Worker.

In Mongolia that could also be "Wait 'til You Eat Dog!"

The Miracle Worker was a game/quiz/reality show?

How Do You Like Your Eggs+The Better Sex=How Do You Like Your Sex? (Do I get extra points for making a QUBE and Cullen reference?)

It's the game husbands don't want to see if they get home from work early...

Do You Trust Your Wife? + Boardwalk and Baseball Super Bowl of Sports Trivia + The Amateur's Guide to Love + Let's Play Post Office + Hit Man + Wait Til You Have Kids! + The Better Sex = Your Wife and the Postman Have Sex

The Pennsylvania Game + Hollywood, Florida Squares = Hollywood, Pennsylvania Squares

(Which isn't funny at all, but does reference a town about six minutes from my house.)

Change YOU'RE IN THE PICTURE to YOUR NUMBER'S UP and you've got it (otherwise, you're subject to the extraneous words penalty).

Attempting to mine some OTHER veins of humor (and trying to avoid duplicates of either sort):

Whammy! The All-New Press Your Luck + Super Jeopardy! + Celebrity Hot Potato + $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime + The Game Game + Password Plus + Wheel 2000 = The All-New Super Celebrity $1,000,000 Game Plus 2000

Break the Bank + Think Fast = Breakfast

Hit Man + I'm Telling! + High Rollers + The Price Is Right + Now You See It = Man, I'm High Right Now

Just Men! + Bzzz! + Whammy! + Whew! + I Can't Believe You Said That! + Jackpot! + Nitro! + Stumpers! + Wait Till You Have Kids!! + The Object Is ... + Friend or Foe? = !!!!!!!!!!! ... ?

(All right, so I cheated on that one.)

Winning Streak + Shoot for the Stars = Streak for the Stars

Card Sharks + Pitfall = Shark Pit

The Who, What or Where Game + When Did THAT Happen? + What's My Line? + Seven Keys + Go = Where Did My Keys Go?
