Title: Canada: new game show "Inside the Box"
Post by: Blaq on May 13, 2006, 10:42:43 PM
On June 1, Prime, the specialty channel owned by Global Television which earned a license as a channel aimed at older (50+) viewers, will be rebranded as TVTropolis. Slogan: Hit TV Lives Here." Sounds like Great White North TVLand.

One of 5 homegrown shows will be "Inside the Box", a game show for TV junkies. Yay!

(It's from the producers of "You Bet Your Ass". Aww!)

More details as I ferret them out!

Thanks for the plug! (And Saturday May 20 on LOGO in the US.)

I'm half-miffed because, although we seem to be part of the 6-episode rotation, it feels as if our episode is only rarely shown -- simply because our ep has no description. Just "Charles and Michael". Not "Donna and Polina -- Comic Donna and entrepreneur Polina get surprised with a Medieval-themed wedding", nooo! (Nothing personal, D&P)

BTW, there will be a second season of My Fabulous Gay Wedding, although I don't know if it will air on LOGO only (as First Comes Love) or in Canada on Global as well:

As per C21Media (http://\"http://www.c21media.net/resources/detail.asp?area=74&article=30815\"):

Quote
Inside the Box (26x30') revolves around the content of iconic TV programming, pitting three contestants against one another as they try to identify memorable shows, actors and TV characters from the TV archives. The winner then progresses to the final round, competing against the clock for a cash prize.

Sounds like fun!

Here's a bit of Canadian TV trivia I think might be fun.  "This mid-'60's show, which also was seen in the states, featured the characters of Nick King and Admiral Fox.  Name the show, its stars and for 10 bonus points the Canadian game shows the two stars went on to host...

This does sound like an intresting show, A Canadian version of "Couch Potatoes" if you will. I'm sure the questions will focus more on "King of Kensington" than "The King of Queens", though.
