Another yucky proposal for a game show

[quote name=\'Fedya\' date=\'Dec 17 2003, 03:41 PM\']I'm almost waiting for Win IVF, a show that combines The Newlywed Game and the Discovery Channel's Birth Stories (I think it's the Discovery Channel; apologies if I've got the wrong channel) by having infertile couple vie for the grand prize of free in vitro fertilization.[/quote]
TLC--same company.

[quote name=\'Fedya\' date=\'Dec 17 2003, 09:41 PM\'] Who ever would have thought "Lost" was a good idea? [/quote]
 I'll certainly subscribe to Lost being a good idea - simple, easy to relate to, fantastically challenging, highly different from the rest of the game show market, likely to generate excellent moments of television. I'll even stand by the British version of Lost making for very fine TV indeed, though showing five complete games in reasonably rapid succession rather spoiled the freshness very quickly.

Caveat: I never saw the US version of Lost and the people whose opinion I trust rated it fairly poorly. It would be interesting to compare the US and UK versions of the show to see what the difference is.

*twiddles thumbs* Wasn't 2001 a good year for US game shows?

I've never seen UK Lost! but I've read the most excellent book.  I truly think what was the most brilliant idea from your series was the notion of RETURNING CHAMPIONS!  That's just sheer brilliance.

And the runner up moment would have to be the $1 to "help" you get to London moment.

Cheers,

Ryan :)
