I think I may have a way to get some mileage out of an old show in a new way. On the 1980 version of "Beat the Clock" there was a daily "bonus shuffle" where the celebs played shuffleboard. Why not edit the segments to make a one hour show? For the audience of today add a Kenny Mayne or Chris Berman to describe the action, with the original sound faint or muted. You could call it the "Celebrity Shuffleboard Tournament" or something.

An hour of 24-year-old Bonus Shuffles.

TELL me this is a joke.

Well, I'd rather see the actual shows, but I'll take whatever I can get.

Do you think GSN would have the rights to edit the shows in that way and make a new show out of it? I'm guessing they probably would for what they own outright, but they don't own the GT shows outright.

Sure they do. It was called "As Seen On."
