Here's all the game show things I can gather.

Amazon has the following in the works...

- Beast Games with Mr Beast (and $5,000,000)

- Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity (5th Grader, but the celebrities are also the children) with Travis Kelce from The Super Bowl and Photos with Taylor Swift

- Pop Culture Jeopardy, with a team.

- The 1% Club with Patton Oswalt (that's also going to Fox)

- a New season of 007: Road to a Million

- a Christmas Special Series called Wish List Games with Nick Cannon

- "Buy It Now" with JB Smoothe



Fox has The Quiz With Balls coming this summer featuring people falling into water.

They also have The Floor returning for a Season 2 & 3

And a new show called "extracted" from the Special Forces show that I still think is a fever dream.


ABC has Celebrity Jeopardy, Celebrity Wheel, Press Your Luck and Claim to Fame but also....

- Lucky 13 with Shaq and Gina Rodriguez

- Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Celebrity Couples Edition with Jimmy Kimmel

No word yet on Pyramid and The Chase


CBS has it's usual Survivor, Big Brother, Amazing Race and The Challenge but also

- Hollywood Squares is next year with Drew Barrymore

- The Summit with Manu Bennett

- Unnamed Phil Koeghan Physical Challenge Series

- The Price is Right at Night returns as an actual season

- Raid the Cage returning with a season 2, that's the supermarket sweep thing with the prizes


NBC, well, nothing new has been announced, except for Destination X, that's essentially Geoguessr with The Mole, where whoever is furthest off from where they actually are is eliminated.

There is also a new season of The Traitors, obviously

And a SECOND SEASON OF DEAL OR NO DEAL ISLAND, NO I DON'T KNOW WHY EITHER.

No word yet on Weakest Link, Password, The Wall returning but most likely some of them will.

There is news of American Gladiators coming back, so, I won't be surprised if it's for NBC (and as it is technically MGM owned, a Collab with Amazon)


And lastly, Jet Lag The Game has a new season....

I've been waiting to here if they'd reboot American Gladiators since there was another Hollywood strike. The best part of the 30 for 30 was Sabre realizing he was p much a scab.

Hey, uh, Lucky 13 debuted this week.

It's a true false quiz for a million dollars, but most likely contestants will just pick a range of 7-9 correct answers for $25,000 or 10-12 for $100,000 as a Pepsi sponsored lifeline and Shaq randomly hitting a button to make an offer happens.

Also, Press Your Luck is back next week is a special with Deadpool and Wolverine promotions, because sure, Disney.

There is also Celebrity Who Wants to Be A Millionaire with an audience for the first time in the Kimmel run.

Also, Celebrity Family Feud is back.

Also, the Emmy nominations happened

Best Game Show is

Celebrity Family Feud

The Price is Right at Night

Jeopardy!

Wheel of Fortune

And Password.

I know, Deal or No Deal Island got snubbed!

And Dropout.




Additionally, The Mole got a new season on Netflix with Ari Shapiro. It's, uh, okay, they finally implemented "Jokers" in the game, now called "Corrections", that's a big step forward.


I'm sure I'm forgetting more stuff, like The Quiz with Balls and Don't Forget the Lyrics and Name That Time and Beat Shazam in Fox's "It's This, Ramsay or Wrestling" week.

Anyway, ill see what other news I could find next update. Best I could give you, Wheel of Fortune is getting a cool new set!

Saw Lucky 13. A few thoughts

Don't really why it needed two hosts except to fulfill some contracts.
Pepsi switch is way too early, might be better halfway through.
You can lose by being right, seems unfair.

Just updating the thread with all the news you probably already know about.

Last week (this week) was the start of Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Wheel has Ryan Seacrest as a host and a new set that's full of blues and wheels that look like ship wheels. Very nautical.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUcMVIDADhg

Family Feud is back and families that win five games no longer win a new car, they win a bonus $10,000 and a family vacation.

The new seasons of Person Place or Thing, 25 Words or Less and Pictionary all started this week. Person Place or Thing has a new first round, sure!

There's a new game show called the flip side hosted by jaleel white, it's let's ask america opinion questions but in a studio and also with the same garbage $1000 with the chance at $10000 that you see in most game shows that are pretty terrible.

The Price is Right and Let's Make a Deal have PREMIERE WEEKS on Monday. Get ready for overblown budgets.

Let's Make a Deal Primetime ends this season with a zonk redemption, nobody watched. Same as Lingo afterwards. REMEMBER LINGO?

Lucky 13 ended as well, thanks to our friends at Pepsi, THANK YOU PEPSI, I will forget all about it.

There's a new season of Taskmaster, a much better game show that already has its own thread.

Almost all the NBC and ABC shows are now in the limbo, so expect repeats when shows aren't working on the network, press your luck does have a Halloween episode though. Sorry to all those still watching The Wall.

But all in all, the only shows so far confirmed are The Floor on FOX, The Voice on NBC, and The Price is Right at Night on CBS.

Pop Culture Jeopardy is taping with Colin Jost. Sports Jeopardy is possibly in development.

Amazon has Wish List Games coming soon, as well as Last One Laughing UK with Jimmy Carr.

FINALLY CREATIVE ARTS EMMYS

Best Game Show: Jeopardy!

Bumping for all the new trailers


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=663f5z-Mpqk

Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit debuted today on the CW.

https://www.cwtv.com/shows/scrabble/?viewContext=Home+Swimlane

Scrabble is two half hour games where two people go head to head to win up to $10,000

First round, they get a clue and letters and just figure it out, then again with longer words

Second round, they each get the same seven letters and go back and forth playing the tiles on a Scrabble board for points

Most points plays a bonus round where they get 10 racks of tiles and if they get 100 points that's $1000 150 is $5,000 and 200 is $10,000

https://www.cwtv.com/shows/trivial-pursuit/?viewContext=Home+Swimlane

Trivial Pursuit is a faster version of the game, almost like that version Wink Martindale hosted.

They go through all six categories one after the other for 100 points and the wedge.

Whoever is correct picks next category

After three rotations (18 questions) they give a bonus 200 points per wedge, lowest score is out.

In round two each of the players sets up their best categories from worst to best

Worst is thrown out. Then it's going 200/400/600/800/1000

With the questions all multiple choice.

Whatever drug the most points wins and goes on to the bonus game.

Bonus game is simply getting one from each category correctly in 60 seconds. Each wedge is worth $1000 and all six earns $20,000


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDOjt1SQRAo

They finally put up the trailer for are you smarter than a celebrity.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xV-ogRIi1Q

Buy it now is a failed UK series that they decided to try again. Remember Steve Harvey's Funderdome?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3RjS3gvo0Y

And even a clip of Pop Culture Jeopardy with Colin Jost, famous writer for Kappa Mikey

And Wish List Games with Nick Cannon.

it is so stupid i broke that news on bluesky

anyway, some last things of the year.

Hollywood Squares is coming back in January,, you will forget this because The Traitors is on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoN1r6nWFIg

Amazon has Beast Games in December, try and find where the production ran into issues that it caused major lawsuits.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0jWB2E4OHM

Do you remember Kroll Show? Hey, Pop Culture Jeopardy is back

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXG6quuNb60

Deal or No Deal Season 2 is coming up as well, hey, you will also forget about this for The Traitors.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__lSCiEsXHc

Next Year, Destination X is also set to debut on BBC and Peacock. The team from "The Traitors" is working on it, seems like fun!

and lastly - The Genius Game is still slated for ITV, but no word yet on airing, it was meant to be November 2024 then February 2025 and now it's unsure.

If any more news breaks, i will try and find it - Wish List Games sucked btw.

TelevisedInsanity
Dec 19, 2008

(sorry for the double post)

Beast Games is out and I think it's the most depressing thing I've ever watched, and also the most "game show" rear end game show in the world.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4p3uRjj5WA

Additionally, Pop Culture Jeopardy is out, and I think it's okay, the category selection is

Something in Movies
Something in Music
Something in TV
Something with Celebrity (like podcasts/viral videos)
Something with Wordplay
Something with a "High Culture in Pop Culture" (like Pirates in Pop Culture, or French Films, etc)

So once you figure it out, it becomes a bit tiring.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHE1lbifQEQ

And finally, for the TVIV who still loves Friends, there is this game show devoted to Friends, called Fast Friends, with Whitney Cummings.

Essentially there is a qualifying round, then a 3 part challenge that's like an escape room with trivia and then a final where they have to figure out the title of an episode by description, the set design is nice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCK15428jFA

And also Deal or No Deal Island has another trailer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiUnmUd_gY0

So, it's a bit wild. Also there is a casting for The Genius now available

https://thegeniuscasting.castingcrane.com/

(Also celebrity jeopardy is starting next year as well)

I’m not touching Beast games. Even I’ve got standards.

anyway, season finale of the floor was yesterday. Lots of fun! Can’t wait for season 3. The Genius casting reminds me I fell asleep halfway through an episode of the Devil’s Plan and need to finish it but have no idea what episode they’re all so samey. I haven’t applied to much recently, just the 1% Club (I think) and various embarrassing reality poo poo (not beast games!)

Really liking pop culture jeopardy, difficulty feels like the perfect level. Jost is fumbling around a bit but he’ll get it to click and the show is very watchable. Wish lucky 13 would get revived while it’s still remotely possible

Ended up watching the first episode of Beast Games with some friends to see just how bad it could be and holy poo poo everyone involved in making that should be sent to the Hague. I don't watch much reality TV otherwise so I dunno what the standards are, but that was one of the most cruel and corrosive shows I have ever seen. It doesn't even pretend to be about the actual games, it's entirely about feasting on the suffering of desperate people as their hope for a lucky break is arbitrarily snatched away from them.

To add insult to injury, it's also just extremely poorly made. There's no sense of pacing or build-up at all, they just rattle off the game concept then show people failing while the beast guy gives pointless commentary. I wouldn't be surprised if they just used the same editor(s) that they use for their youtube videos for the show, with no change in direction.

‘Jeopardy!’ and ‘Wheel of Fortune’ to Leap to Streaming

The gist of the article is that Sony is soliciting bids for next-day streaming rights of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy that would begin this September. Once existing syndication rights expire, Sony will then can sell same-day streaming rights in 2028.

While I think having past shows available would be great since that doesn't really exist anywhere, my concern is that these shows will no longer be available over the air starting with the 2028 seasons.
