Title: CBS is "TKO"ed by Mark Burnett
Post by: weaklink75 on February 20, 2018, 01:12:57 PM

Not the busted Mark Goodson pilot- this show is basically Wipeout/Ninja Warrior obstacle courses crossed with Assault from American Gladiators....10 eps ordered.

TKO is unlike any other competition show on television.

Mark, Mark, Mark. You don't make that kind of absolute statement when the internet exists to find old clips that prove you wrong. Or when, two months ago, Ellen's Game of Games showcased a game that sounds extremely similar (https://youtu.be/IgBCEwQUgk4?t=1s).

Well, Mark Burnett is the type who prefers that old tapes not be seen by anyone.
