[weaklink75]

GSN put out a few releases today, so I'd figure one post for all of them would be easier...

First off, "The Chase" is picked up for 13 eps for later this year:

GSN has picked up a new show called "Idiot Test", based on an app, for 40 eps:

And there are several series in the pilot and development stages:

(The Tunnel, The Line, and Say What? sound interesting- I remember seeing a pilot of The Line for the UK a while back- the others are sorta meh)

But...but I thought it absolutely, positively, 100% for certain hadn't been taped yet!
