And Now, a Different Revival Question...

[Mandoli]

I know we have a fantasy game show revival thread, where people wet dream (for lack of a proper term; sorry) game show revivals. But I figure there isn't a generic topic about this. I don't want to know how you'd bring these shows back, obviously. I just want to know something that's slightly different than the aforementioned and linked.

If you could bring one game show back that hasn't already been revived, which one would it be?

Whew!, maybe? In light of Buzzr's recent acquisition.

Trivia Trap in its second format, Greed or Cram. Trivia Trap would be the most likely revival for ABC Fun & Games, CBS or syndication with the Goodson library owned by Fremantle

Not going to lie, but I wasn't looking for where the best fit for the revival would be.

I don't see that second format working again for Trivia Trap. It didn't work for the show the first time and it was one of the reasons why it ended up being as short-lived as it was, besides the fact that it was trying to hold its ground as a brand-new show against WoF and TPiR. Legend has it that by the time the staff realized it was a mistake to change formats, it was too late and the show was going to be canceled.

I would love a revival of the original front game though. That had the most engaging format with eliminating the wrong answers, and it was also one of the things that helped make the show unique in its own right.

Hollywood Squares for ABC's Summer Fun & Games (oh wait...)

Mark Maxwell Smith said on Stu's show last week that his creation, Talkabout, might get revived in the US.
