I am biting my tongue as hard as I can to avoid making a reference to TPIR.

You waited too long... (http://\"http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Potato-Head-Show-VHS/dp/6305319316\") (The tape is a compilation of 2 of the eps Fox did)

Dragon Tales: The Game Show. Scary.
If I see a steaming potato being thrown around either, I'm throwing my set out the window!

If I see Uncle Bill throw said potato, then I will officially quit drinking for the rest of my life...
\or until midterms, whichever comes first.

I am pulling for "Million Dollar Lite Brite", but to some celebrities out there in Hollywood, even a show at this caliber would be too much for them.

That is a truly frightening notion.

ESPN tried once. From what I recall, it wasn't that great.

Nor was it a game show, it was coverage of the finals of the World Championships at the WotC Center (since closed, alas) here in the U District.
And, yeah, it was about as compelling TV as you would expect from two people sitting at a table playing a non-gambling, non-bluffing card game that 95% of the viewers at home didn't have the first clue how to play and that couldn't be explained by the broadcasters within the hour (or half-hour, I don't remember) they would have had to do it while still covering the match.

And, with like most anything that runs against the Super Bowl or other broadcast network high-ticket items are time buys with ESPN branding. A *lot* of ESPN's non-talking head broadcast schedule are disguised time buys.

Doesn't Hasbro own the 'Simon' handheld game?
Imagine a cross between 'Simon', 'Pass the Buck' and 'Pitfall' where you have 4 'teams' of 5 contestants. One contestant from each 'team' is standing on a large colored button. A light sequence is shown and the contestants must reproduce it by jumping on their button at the appropriate time. If they miss their turn or jump out of sequence, a trap door under the button opens up and the contestant is gone. The next contestant on the team replaces them. A team is 'out' when they run out of contestants. When it is down to 2 teams, each team is then responsible for 2 buttons. The last team standing wins.
Purely in jest, no one take this seriously LOL
