Could they be thinking about some GS? (http://\"http://thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20090430discovery01\") (Certainly they have enough properties they can use)..

I can just see the ad now: Contestants wanted for Candy Land: The Game. Diabetics need not apply.

The only show he should be on should have this guy (http://\"http://msnbcmedia4.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/051107/051107_chris_hanson_vsml_9a.vsmall.jpg\") as the host.

/Idea!--a revival of Musical Chairs.  "Why don't you take a seat over there?"

Here's a snippet from an article at TVEye: (http://\"http://blogs.courant.com/roger_catlin_tv_eye/2009/05/scrambling-for-scrabble-on-tv.html\"):

Quote

Also on Thursday, word came that Scrabble will be one of several games that will be the basis of new programming on Discovery channel and its various networks. A show based on "Scrabble" would appear alongside such other Hasbro shows turned shows as Trivial Pursuit, Cranium, My Little Pony, The Game of Life and Transformers.

How do you turn those games into TV shows?

What qualifications must one have to write at this web site?  Where can I apply?
