The [Buzzr] network will feature YouTube’s biggest stars competing against each other inside popular game-show formats from today and past eras. Fremantle owns the rights to many well-known game shows like The Price is Right, Let’s Make a Deal, Family Feud and Password, all which will be re-made and targeted to a younger audience.
"The idea is to get these YouTube stars engaged in a great, old game-show format," says [Thom] Beers[, CEO of FremantleMedia North America]. And they get paid while "getting a chance to subvert an old format and have fun with it."

If this can be the tinniest stepping stone to getting Password back on television, I'll take it.

Younger audience, eh?

I didn't hate Youtube Feud, per se, but it was way too rushed and frenetic. It was an 8 minute episode, but they rushed through everything as if eight minutes was the magical timeslot. Pace it out a little better and give everyone a little decaf.
