Well, it's probably got a better chance than Celebrity Chess..unless the shows can straddle.....

No man, Sudoku is all the rage.  Answer questions with numerical answers and place that number on the board.  The player who completes the most rows, columns, and squares wins!

Another don't laugh--just recently BBC1 had a show called "SudoQ," which was a combined Q&A and Sudoku puzzle show.  It's off now, but that doesn't necessarily mean in the UK that it bombed.  If there was proof on the Beeb's web site, it would be linked here.

I figured you knew, since "Bridge Whist" sounds kinda like "Bid Whist", and we've discussed this program before here.

Thank you.

maybe my new show idea has a chance - Celebrity Checkers! 12 celebs in red sweatshirts, 12 in black sweatshirts, and when a contestant answers a question correctly, he/she tells one of their celebrities where to move on a giant floor checkerboard!

It won't work without Cesar Romero. Besides, Heatter and Quigley aren't available to produce it.
