I wonder if John has considered giving "Rubik's" a whirl on the i network?  He'd need to round up some sponsors or run per-inquiry ads to pay i, but there is the chance to make it happen.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

Yeah, "great interest" doesn't mean jack unless a check comes after it.

Good luck with that.

Youre just an asshole...if you guys have any idea on what it takes to sell something instead of sitting there commenting on other people you'd know it's not easy to get a show launched...and as usual you guys talk out of your asses...Rubik's was a craze 20 years ago but it's still hotter than ever...I have all the sales data and reports that the toy sales all over the world is up in some places more than 300% so don't talk about what you dont know!!

And thanks clemon79 you just remined me why I don't post on here anymore...because of ignorant people like yourself.

John while I do commend your efforts, I think on behalf of the more intellectually sound posters on this board (and it's not hard to consider myself one of them compared to some other folks around here with bowling buddies and alteregos and such), you have to admit it's an uphill battle and a half.  Yeah, it may well be a craze.  But, the argument can be made with Trivial Pursuit in the early '90s.  It was very popular then (though not in its ultimate hey dey of its release), and hence Family Channel/Wink Martindale/et al tried to turn it into a game show format and it was about as effective as an anorexic kid in the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest.  And, if I were to place a bet, the same may well hold true in at least this country with Rubik's Cube.  I hope I'm wrong for your sake.  After all, you've been trying for...what...well over a decade to get something sold.  You've procured partnerships with those in the biz...always good.  You've had pilots done...good.  But, the toughest thing as you well know is to get a shark to bite, and the guppies ain't biting.  I wish you well, but just have other offerings on your plate, my honorable friend.

In what markets is the Rubik's Cube "hotter than ever"?  Bulgaria?  Azerbaijan?  Uruguay?  Certainly not in the United States.  I haven't seen a Rubik's Cube in at least a decade, and I used to work in a toy store.

I wish you all the luck with this endeavor but my calendar says 2005, not 1982.

You guys are just clueless...you think up an original idea, you get an agent, you go into a pitch meeting and you try to sell something THEN come to me!

Why are you so defensive?  Why do you care so much to say "you guys are so mean to me... I don't want to play anymore?"  I don't think anything that Foxsportsfan (I'm sorry I forgot your name) deserved an f-you from you.  Just do your thing and prove everyone wrong.  But you can save that f-you mentality.

"Waah! My ego didn't get stroked! You're all clueless! Formats based on toys that people haven't seen for two decades are the FUTURE!"

Yeah. THIS attitude will sell some games.

You ARE aware that some of your would-be "clients" read this, right?

Give my best to Chartier. I'm sure they'll fawn over you all you like over there.

Since sales data isn't typically confedential information, care to share some with us?

I think I can speak for everyone when I say THAT'S something on which we can ALL agree.
