Believe it or not, this was one of the premises behind "Grudge Match" (1990-91) with Steve Albert and Jesse Ventura calling the action....(yes, for newbies, it was a sports type show.....but it was kinda like what was described above.)

When I first read the ad, the first thing that popped into my head was The Grudge Match. I wouldn't mind seeing that return in some form.
For those who haven't seen The Grudge Match, two people fought in a wrestling ring for three rounds with different objects, like oversized boxing gloves, whipped cream pies, those giant Q-Tips from American Gladiators, etc. It was all in fun, as the competitors shook hands and let bygones be bygones at the end of each match.

Didn't a certain future Minnesota politician have a role on this short-lived show?

One other show that, for some odd reason, comes to mind after reading that..........
I believe there was a court show called "Moral Court" or something like that.
Blah........the only court shows I watch are People's Court (watch it more than any of the others), Judge Judy, and Judge Joe Brown.
I smell crap with the pilots. X_X

Zach, even those of us who generally aren't bothered by your irrelevant narcissism really don't need to know about your personal habits.

Ah, but there was already a People's Court home game. (http://\"http://www.jobogames.com/p789.html\")
(My parents actually bought this back in the 1980s. They're big fans of all those ghastly faux-court shows.)

What about "Guilty or Innocent?", the courtroom show/game show hybrid from 1984?
But if there's a "Grudge Match" revival, Sarah Michelle Gellar would be a sensational host!

I think it's obvious that SMG starred in "The Grudge" only because the director couldn't get Pat O'Brien.

Ya know, at first I read the OP, and I said to myself "My god, what kind of dumb-ass connection could SMG have to any of this to make him draw some kind of cognitive connection between the two?
Then I read this. It was worse than I thought.
I gotta agree with Matt, though, the O'Brien gags are getting a little stale. I propose we drop them.
However, I also propose that my "Mah-Rone Du Jour" award be officially nicknaed "The Obie", in recognition of the great talent that Pat O'Brien has brought to television.

I'm also a People's Court fan, and I usually watched it along with some of the other shows, but I only focused on it and Judge Judy in 1999, when her hubby Jerry became the new PC judge (To say the least, they're both good, but I prefer Jerry over Judy, since he's not as tough as Judy), up until 2001, when Marilyn Milian took over (as the show's first female judge), and she's good.
As for the Judge Wapner version, I liked it, and Doug Llewellyn did a good job as host.

ObGS: Three degrees of former center square Whoopi Goldberg:
Pat O'Brien made a cameo in Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, which starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, who starred in I Know What You Did Last Summer with Jennifer Love Hewitt, who appeared in Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit with Whoopi Goldberg.
ObSquares: Didn't Gellar's father-in-law, the late Freddie Prinze, do Squares during the Marshall era?
ObOneDegreeOfSeparation: Also starring in SD2 with Pat O'Brien was one-time TPiR contestant Linda Cardellini.
ObKevinBacon: Kevin Bacon did did a game show, sorry.

I agree as well, 'cause I've been getting sick and tired of the PO'B stuff myself (even though I started it).
Maybe we should turn our attention to Bill O'Reilly, who is way, waaaaaay more irritating than Pat.
But back on topic: What about "Guilty or Innocent" from 1984, which was part-"People's Court", part-game show? I remember seeing snippets of it and I thought it was much worse than "Moral Court." Another game show that had a court theme was MTV's "The Blame Game" in the late '90s.
Oh yeah, there was also "Juvenile Jury" with Jack Barry; one of the episodes from 1958 featured a much younger -- and I mean much younger -- Bernadette Peters.

Jesus Christ . . . as long as we're dropping it anyway . . . Johnny?
The ENTIRE reason everyone posts that stuff. The ONLY reason. The all-consuming, undiluted, ever-lovin' INCENTIVE for them posting how they love Pat O'Brien?
Is because you keep pointing out that it's annoying you.
Jesus W. Christ. (I think we know what the middle initial stands for.)
