Well, you could always take Letterman's \"Will It Float?\" and turn it into a half-hour game. (Wasn't the BBC's \"Is It Buoyant?\" a half-hour?) And it would still be better than some of the originals GSN had turned out in the past.
Hey, I'd watch for a half-hour of the Grinder Girl.

(snip)
...the game the contestant played was called \"Can You pull this bar apart?\" It was on a squeeze play-esque podium (it was red) and all the contestant had to do was pull a U-shaped bar back into a straight line for $10,000.[/quote]
THIS reminds ME of one of my oddest dreams; it wasn't a game SHOW, but it WAS a contest.
The dream took place in the Broadway Market in Seattle, fabled in Rolling Stone magazine as the mall with a heroin-dealer-ridden apartment complex on the upper floors. But I digress...
The contest (sponsored by Coca-Cola!) involved a network of ropes, from which several young black-leotard-clad women of various weights hung by their wrists. (Honest!) As the dream turned out, the object was to pull a certain rope, which would move the women to a point where the balance / imbalance would force the clasps around the womens' wrists open, dropping them to the padded floor. I did just that, the women dropped, and I won the five-million-dollar prize. (Then I woke up, checked the state Lotto numbers, and found that I'd won... nothing.)
Esoteric Eric... Then there was the dream where I was filling in for Shadoe Stevens on the Davidson version of HSq...

To better please syndicators, you could make it an optional hour-long \"Will It Float?--Hairpiece/Not a Hairpiece Hour\". The final bonus round? That's right, they drop a toupee in the tank.
GS Warehouse:
How about this: contestants perform stunts that no sane person would ever dream of doing, like eating animal organs.
What? That's been done?

This Idea I have is in response to the cut-throat ways that game shows may end up, I had an idea for people to solve there differences, I've only got the openning spiel but I think it's pretty funny. others opinions might differ:
From Television City in Hollywood, It's the game where no good deed goes unrewarded,
and no bad one goes unpunished, It's the game where payback's a bitch! It's time for....
(In WOF Audience Style)
Beat....The....Knees!
You know I really haven't thought about how game play would go, but i'd thought you might get a laugh out of it
