This is based on the now-defunct GSN Message boards of the same name. But, Would anyone come up with revival ideas for game shows, Please?
Rest assured, somebody probably would. You\'re welcome.
\\Always fancied a Classic Concentration revival.

They would *have* to use the original rules though. None of this stick-around-until-you-lose-twice crap. Classic Classic Concentration.

And holding on to your TAKE cards? Please.

I like it when shows allow for contestants to not be thanked for their participation after losing one time.They would *have* to use the original rules though. None of this stick-around-until-you-lose-twice crap. Classic Classic Concentration.

So I presume \"Lots of Love\" falls under this category?
/Load the board with ALL OF THE WILD CARDS while we\'re at it!!!!!111!!!11!
I was thinking Kiernan more than Morreale there, assuming I get what you\'re saying.So I presume \"Lots of Love\" falls under this category?
There\'s plenty of ideas in the post roughly one thread down.
But also, bring back The Joker\'s Wild and the Face the Devil game. But not a caricature that resembles Jack Barry. A real devil, who you make a deal with in order to win five games and a Nissan Versa sedan, and a bunch of cheesy prize packages. Do you want the game room and trip to Brazil bad enough?

See, I would go with one who challenge you to a fiddle contest in Georgia, with a golden fiddle as a prize.

While I\'m sure this idea is most likely headed toward the Realm of Not Gonna Happen, I\'d like to see a Sale of the Century revival with an endgame combining The Sale with Temptation(AUS)\'s prize structure, using the Big Money Game as a means of building up the cash jackpot.
I\'d like to see \"The Big Showdown\" revived. I don\'t know how it could be improved. Maybe make it an hour with two trips to the dice table per show.
If I was gonna do a Sale revival I\'d take the best of what worked from various series.
I\'d keep the 80s format in regards to show pacing.
I\'d replace the Instant Cash with the Cashcards from the Aussie version.
As far as the Fame Game rounds went, I\'d do a toss up between the 80s game and Temptation, and whichever side was landed on was the one I\'d use. I really wasn\'t too bothered with the way Temptation did it.
I\'d keep the speed round at 60 seconds but keep the higher stakes Temptation introduced.
This one I know a lot of people aren\'t necessarily fond of but I think the score money should be treated in a different manner- call them shopping dollars or something and if/when you lose each is equivalent to $5 in actual dollars- that way if someone was building to the big payday and lost, they\'d get a nice chunk of change of a couple thousand bucks or so on top of everything else.
I\'d keep the Temptation shopping round with the Knock-off game, and not limit you to five appearances like they did. I\'d also add the all the prizes on stage and cash levels that the syndie Sale did but I\'d cap it at a round number like $100,000 instead of a growing jackpot.
I did like the Knockoff game as a way to build your bank, but yes, I hated the limit of five appearances. I thought the prize selection was decent enough, although they went from a Jaguar in week one, to a Prius at midseason. ;-P
I\'d have to watch another episode, but what left such a sour taste with me was that it was so half-baked and rushed. You had an excellent Australian template, then watered it down. I could\'ve forgiven the ripping off other shows (i.e. Tomarken\'s Wipeout) and maybe the mini-speed rounds, but I think a straight-forward Q&A would\'ve been just fine (i.e. the 5 questions, Instant Bargain, another couple of questions, Fame Game). Ditch the appealing to Lifetime housewives, and make it a trivia game with shopping.
All in all, it was just all over the place. No structure whatsoever.
I\'ve been a proponent of that for a few years now.While I\'m sure this idea is most likely headed toward the Realm of Not Gonna Happen, I\'d like to see a Sale of the Century revival with an endgame combining The Sale with Temptation(AUS)\'s prize structure, using the Big Money Game as a means of building up the cash jackpot.
Might I add, if removing the five-day limit, I agree with adding a cash jackpot (say $50,000*) as a step after the car, then the option to buy the entire lot. The five-day limit provided the potential for Really Awful Television if the car is $420, and the contestant ends his or her fifth and final Knock Out game with $415.
/Enjoy your diamond necklace for $365, chump!

Speaking of Tomarken\'s Wipeout, there are only a handful of things that I would change if I somehow had the power to bring it back.
The name would obviously have to go. It would save a lot of explaining as to why there aren\'t any funky obstacles. My suggestion would be Busted, but we can let the focus groups hash it out.
I\'d also ditch the Hot Spot, since trips are more the realm of Price and Wheel these days. Instead, I\'d replace it with a Shield, which acts as an insurance marker against a wrong answer. If the winner has the Shield at the end of the game, it can be carried into the revamped bonus round.
Instead of rewarding speed, my version of the bonus round (for Added Alliterative Appeal, you could call it the Busted Bonus Board) would require the contestant to pick the six correct answers, one at a time, from the same 12-answer board as the original bonus round, using a money tree of $1K/2K/5K/10K/25K/100K. Contestants would have the option to stop after every correct answer.
So game shows that give away trips are the only ones that can give away trips? Er?I\'d also ditch the Hot Spot, since trips are more the realm of Price and Wheel these days.
I\'m the first in the parade to say that more money doesn\'t make a game good, but here\'s the corollary: if the game is one of high class and glamorous prizes you can\'t get away with cheaping out on the prize budget. The reason that nights six, seven and eight are so exciting is because the champion is making bets of increasing size as to whether he can win again. On night seven it\'s a double-or-nothing proposition; bet $400k (if you\'ve won the money minute every time) against $800,000 and all the prizes. Temptation: Murica! never got close to anything that exciting.Might I add, if removing the five-day limit, I agree with adding a cash jackpot (say $50,000*) as a step after the car, then the option to buy the entire lot.

Not a revival per se, but I think that the Body Language format would make a great mini game for Hollywood Game Night.
I\'d love to see a You Don\'t Know Jack revival on Comedy Central, but with gameplay more akin to the actual game. The only issue would be finding someone who\'s enough of a smartass who doesn\'t rub you the wrong way to host it (kinda like Jimmy Kimmel on WBSM).
I\'d also ditch the Hot Spot, since trips are more the realm of Price and Wheel these days.

Why give away a trip (which people can decline due to tax reasons) when you can stick with cash while adding a new wrinkle to the game?

A wrinkle, mind you, that increases the prize budget at least fivefold.
You get plug money for the sponsor read, and trips are less expensive than the equivalent amount of cash. Really that\'s true of any prize.Why give away a trip (which people can decline due to tax reasons) when you can stick with cash while adding a new wrinkle to the game?
