GSN Jeopardy!
Ed:"I'll take adventure heroes for $200."
Host: "The answer is - The masked swordsman Zorro's name comes from the Spanish word for this animal. (answer disappears from screen, replaced by three boxes) Is the correct question, (A) What is a tiger? (B) What is a lemur? or (C) What is a fox?"
Ed rings in: "I think it's C."
Host: "Is it....C?" (four second pause - C box lights up green) You're correct! Pick again!"
Something tells me the game would only have a Single Jeopardy! round because the multiple-choices would eat up so much time.

I was going to comment that that's too difficult for GSN, but then I realized if it's on GSN and worth $200, it'd be at the bottom of the board.

They could always call it "Classic Jeopardy" and make the board values the same as the initial NBC Fleming run.


Going back to the original post: 

"Welcome to Countdown..a British classic comes to the US.  And Here's your host,....Give it up for Terry Crewwwwwwwwws!!!"

"Concentration"

Host: “Call two numbers, one at a time.”
Contestant: “I hope there is something wonderful behind number fourteen!”
Game board: “Click, click. Whirrr. Click.”
Host: “It’s a sofa. (To the off-camera announcer:) Tell us about the sofa.”
Announcer: (Reads sponsor’s copy.)
Host (To the contestant): What would do with that sofa if you won it?
Contestant: (Explains in great detail what winning that prize would mean to her, the family (cut to a shot of them in the audience), and generations to come.)
Host: “Alright, call another number.”
Contestant: “Twenty one.”
Game board: “Click, click…”
Host: “We’ll find out what’s behind twenty one after the break.”

What's My Line:
Watching WML now on Twitch and it reminded me of this thread.

Every "No" is met with a shocked "oooh" and/or audience cutaway. Fooling the panel = standing ovation.

It's also an hour show, where each half hour is a new guest. That's right. It'll somehow take 22 minutes to get through 10 Yes or No questions.

To be fair, they have to go to commercial break before the answer, and then coming back in from the break repeat the question.

And to be even more fair, they have to show the next 2 questions asked before each break under the "Up Next..." guise.

$64,000 Question:

"While Joe Schmo attempts to answer his 5-part question for $64,000, let's do a Fox Side-By-Side sponsored by State Farm".

In defense of this, how many times did you see Larry say "We're out of time so we're gonna have to throw them all over..."
