Now watch them pair it up with American Bible Challenge....

(I\'m wondering how much they\'ll be able to get away with- there obviously will be a lot of nudity involved in this)
There is already a show called \"Ink Master\", pretty much the same show from what I\'ve read. Still, it follows in their current non-game show policy of \'throw it on the sked and see if it sticks\'.
Next pickup will be between:
Mallard Monstrosity
Container Battles
Wildin\' Out with Wink
Sugar Baa-Baa
Tyshaun
In other news, did Family Trade fall off the face of the earth?
It did. Not sure when the last episode aired, but it was gone by mid-June.

Too close to an existing show. TruTV has Container Wars, which is like Storage Wars or Storage Hunters, but with a different cast, shipping containers primarily from overseas, and much higher prices than Storage Wars/Storage Hunters.
You\'d think GSN would have learned their lesson with epic one season, 8-episode reality bombs in the past (American Dream Derby, Family Trade, Carnie Wilson\'s reality show, et cetera). Apparently not. They might have to concede that their niche is, actually, game shows and as much as it may sicken some of us, Family Feud from the last decade.

This one got a laugh out of me.
There are fewer things as painful as watching someone fail to be funny.

Thank you Travis. Wasn\'t trying to be funny, but shocking that you would type that since you seem to think you\'re the compass of the board.
Tyshaun
If you weren\'t trying to be funny, then did you succeed or not? Can you succeed without really trying?
My point was that GSN IMO simply looks at imitations of already popular reality shows and sticks a different name on them. Family Trade was quite similar to Pawn Stars, for example. For some reason, you decided that you wanted to announce you personally found it to be \'painfully unfunny\'. I\'m sorry that I failed you and will work harder to please you in the future. OK chief?

Tyshaun
Guys, come on. It\'s obvious Tyshaun isn\'t trying out material to write for Letterman or Arsenio. He was adding some lighthearted humor to the thread, and poking fun at the reality genre and all the copycat shows out. No need to analyze it like we\'re conducting movie reviews.
As an update- they've named the host; Rebecca Romijn (who fits into the show because of her Mystique role in the first set of X-Men films)...
