New show coming to Buzzr on February 17...
That Don Guy:
I wonder how many of the die-hard Squares fans are going to go sour on this show when the discover:
(a) Each contestant gets paid for each square won, and not just in an interrupted game; and
(b) You can win a game on an opponent's miss, rather than "you have to earn the square yourself"?

THIS JUST IN: We have a promo! (Really, one of the most anticipated shows in BUZZR's history?)

Chapter 17. :)
Peter had actually been planning to pitch a revival of Squares himself (he owned a stake in it) at the time. He made a bad business deal and ended up losing his share of the show, and at the same time, two NBC executives got good and angry with him for kind of a stupid reason and made the deal for MG/HS behind his back.

Given how short-lived the GSN reruns of the Marshall version were, are there really that many die-hards who'd care about such matters?

I know this isn't actually you saying "Buy my book;," but I really should buy your books, now that you've reminded me. And thanks for the detailed answer.
