Title: Now You See Blockbusters

What would you like to see revived, "Now You See It" or "Blockbusters"? I say "Blockbusters".

Yes. I like them both. They both deserve to be revived properly.

Both, but make the game board monitors part of the set.

NYSI under the Chuck Henry rules...BB under Uncle Bill's format. Both the Solo Round and Gold Run could be played for a flat $25,000.

And yes, I'm with an actual game board, even though it would likely be one bigass monitor instead of several tiny ones.

For years, I've thought that Blockbusters should be revived here in the States ... but it should be done in the way that was so successful in England for many years:  It should be played with high school and college students.

Probably right with regard to the board:  It would have to be one giant monitor.  I don't think any producer wants to construct a monster like the one used in the Cullen era.

High school students, hmm...it would be an interesting homage to Cullen if Matt O. could get permission to change the format of "Quizbusters" to that of "Blockbusters" :)
