 Won't happen. Cronin's made his decision, now (hopefully) he'll pay for it in ratings.

zachhoran:
They have recently done a second pilot for the \"Scrabble Challenge\" game they shelved this past Spring. It will resemble the board game more than the 80s NBC show did.

GS Warehouse:
[quote name=\'zachhoran\' date=\'Jul 16 2003, 07:20 AM\'] 13 tapes of MOnopoly were TAPED, but ABC preempted the 13th episode, which would have aired 9/8/90 after the Super J! championship finale. They decided to show either an AMerica's Funniest People or Home Videos special(I think People) [/quote]
Having seen all 13 eps of SJ! and all 12 of Monopoly, I can tell you that Sept. 8, 1990 was the premiere of America's Funniest People, an AFV spinoff starring Dave Coulier and Arlene Sorkin (Days of Our Lives).

ObGameShow: Dave Coulier was not only a frequent panelist on TTTT2K, he was also once an imposter.

Yes, Monopoly would have worked better as a one-hour show.  The thing is, back in 1990, sixty-minute game shows (not counting one certain show based on guessing how much things cost, of course) was unprecedented.  [shameless self-promotion]Check the revival page on my site to see it done right.[/ssp]
