Here's how a clever computer programmer could make a zillion dollars in the tee-vee bidness: write a program called DERIV-A-GAME.
Go through EOTVGS and put a format description of every game/quiz/reality show ever done into a database. The program would have a list of every show in the database with a checkbox beside the name of each show. To create a new derivative, simply check the boxes next to the shows containing the elements you want in your derivative. The program then prints out a treatment of your new derivative. You might want to change the title the progam comes up with, in the case of Studio 7 probably something like "The Weakest Stein's Squares".
Just think of the fun you could have with the titles alone:
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire + Bumper Stumpers = "Who Wants To Be A Bumper?"
Name That Tune + Hot Potato = "Name That Potato"
To Tell the Truth + Win Ben Stein's Money + Showoffs = "To Tell Ben Stein Off"
It Could Be You + People Are Funny = "It Could Be Funny"
Beat the Clock + Do You Trust Your Wife? = "Beat Your ..." oh, let's not go there
Beat the Clock + Swap Meet = say, was there ever a show or pilot named Swap Meet?
The possibilities are endless.
(I get 10% of that zillion dollars.)
Got any others?

Let's not and say we did.
And young Wurzel's been doing some Googling lately--"Right-Wing Squares" is a Flash animation on the mediamatters.org web site. Here it is (http://\"http://mediamatters.org/static/right-wing-squares.html\")--and if you're a Republican, you aren't going to like it much.

You guys know that in order to sell a game nowadays, it has to be high-concept and out-of-the-box. Studio 7 (for what it's worth) married a traditional quiz with the live-in reality genre. The Weakest Link combined the questions-against-the-clock quiz with the vote-off of Survivor. Any show that's going to see the light of day nowadays needs to draw from outside the realm of traditional game shows.
