Here's Another Revival for MTV's Singled Out

Host: Chris Hardwick
Co-Host (and Announcer): Jenn Grijalva
Sub Co-Hosts (and Announcers): Lenay Dunn (of MTV's 10 On Top), Liz Hernandez or Mindy Robinson (of FOX's Take Me Out)
Pianoboy: Jon Ernst
Network: MTV (Weekdays at 3:30 PM ET/2:30 PM CT)
Packager: MTV Networks
Taped at: Empire Burbank Studios (Burbank, CA)

Every Singled Out Show had 100 People (50 Men & 50 Women), all vying to win the hearts of one member of the opposite sex each of these will be a wearing a nametag (displaying their first and last name which is mandatory and Their 6 choices in Round 1 (more on that later) so viewers watching at home could see it easier as well as the picker).

To start, one contestant called "The Picker" walked onto the set in front of the contestants in the "Dating Pool" while blindfolded just so he/she wouldn't see. That contestant was escorted to a chair in front of a large mirror with the show's title on it. The game was played in three rounds.

Round 1: The object of this round was to narrow the playing field down to 5 to 8 potential dates. And here's how it works:

The Picker was presented with a board showing six categories, which ranged from physical attributes to preferences in love-making to leisure activities. They generally were expressed in a humorous style, often with various pop-culture references. After choosing a category, two or three choices were listed, and the Picker was asked to eliminate one of the choices. After eliminating a choice, all the contestants who fit that choice left the Dating Pool, in view of the Picker. This process was continued until 5 to 8 potentials were left, at which point they advanced to the next round. which gave the Picker the power to save one eliminated player as he/she walked in front of him on the way out of the studio. The contestant who received that ticket automatically advanced to the next round.

Round 2: In this round after the female hostess spoke with the survivors of the first round, the Picker asked a series of questions to those players. They ranged from Dating Game-style questions to stunt-oriented questions. If the Picker was happy with the answer or performance, he/she would "keep" the contestant, advancing them to the final round; if not, he/she would decide to "dump" the contestant, knocking him/her out of the game. "Dumped" contestants were not shown to the Picker as in the first round, but were instead marked with some sort of prop, such as a toilet seat around the neck, a bag with a sad face on it on the male player's head, or a pageant sash labeled "Dumped".

The Final Cut: If two contestants were kept or if there's three or four players remaining, the next question was dubbed "The Final Cut". This was where the remaining players got involved in that question, and the Picker chose who to keep.

This round ended when three contestants were "kept", or enough players were "dumped" to leave three. If the potential date received the golden ticket, then sometimes the host would show him/her to the picker.

Round 3: The mirror was taken away from behind the Picker to reveal a walkway with several spaces behind him/her. The three finalists were now given nicknames and stood at the back step for this round. Host Chris posed a series of dual-choice questions, and it's the finalists job to guess which choice the Picker chose. For every match made, the finalist(s) with the correct answer moved up one space. The first finalist to reach the winner's circle where the Picker is standing won the date with him/her. If there's a tie (two or all three finalsts made it), one final question with a numerical answer was asked to the tying contestants, the contestant with the closest guess without going over won the date. If all the guesses exceed the actual answer, the contestant with the closest guess won the date.

The Reveal: After a couple had been made, the two contestants were placed back-to-back while Hardwick read a description of the winning player to the Picker; the contestants were then turned around to meet each other for the first time, and their trip and prizes were described to them by the announcer.

Note: Two games were played per show, first with a woman picking from 50 single men, then with a man picking from 50 single women.

Special Episodes:
Twins' Day - Twins appeared as pickers
Loser's Show - Where losers from previous shows got a second chance. In addition, a contestant who was "dumped" on one or more previous episodes was featured as the Picker.
Spring Break - Special Spring Break episodes were produced (in fact, this is where the show got its start).
Celebrity Dream Date Week - Celebrities appeared as Pickers on the Show
High School Week - All Potential Daters are all High School Students (50 boys and 50 Girls)

All losing contestants receive $300 (like TPIR does)

Returning Champions: Contestants stay on until defeated so hopefully someone can pull out a Larson on 1 Show or maybe win at least a Million Dollars during Champion (just like Ken Jennings on Jeopardy!)

Any Verdicts?

The Triple Dare Challenge just slowed down things too much IMO.

Got another one!

HOLLYWOOD SQUARES

Host: Tom Bergeron
Announcer: Shadoe Stevens (he'll also be in the bottom center square, like in the Davidson version)
Network: ABC or syndicated via CBS Television Distribution
Theme Music: 1986-1989 version composed by Stormy Sacks
Center Square: Jeanette McCurdy (Usually, I'd go with Jim J. Bullock, but I want to re-invent 'Squares' for a new generation while still keeping the same format we all know and love)
Other Frequent Panelists: Brett Hull, Richard Karn, Jim J. Bullock, Tim Allen, Whoopi Goldberg, Joan Rivers, Danica Patrick, Hope Solo, Jeff Foxworthy, Caroline Rhea, Betty White
Taping Location: CBS Television City, Studio 41

Opening: FROM THE CENTER SQUARE, JEANETTE MCCURDY! (other panelists) AND ME, I'M SHADOE STEVENS! AND WE ARE THE NEW....HOLLYWOOD SQUARES! AND HERE'S YOUR HOST.....TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM BERGERON! 


Format: Same as usual. 2 contestants compete in a game of tic-tac-toe. The object is to get 3 stars in a row either across, up and down or diagonally. It's up to the contestants to figure out whether the answers the stars are giving are correct or if they are making one up, that's how they get the squares. First 2 games are worth $1000, 3rd and all subsequent games are worth $2000. You can also win by capturing 5 squares. Player with the most money when time is called wins the game and goes to the bonus game. When time is called in the middle of a game, each captured square is worth $200.

Secret Square: Game 2 is always the Secret Square Game. Before the round starts, one of the stars is chosen as the Secret Square. Only the home and studio audience know who the Secret Square is. When the Secret Square is chosen, a question will be asked and if the contestant agrees/disagrees correctly, they win the Secret Square Stash. If not, their opponent gets the square and the intended prize is carried over to the next show.

Bonus Game: The Bonus Game will be the '9 keys' game from the later years of Bergeron's run. The champion is given 45 seconds to get through the board of 9 stars. The champion picks a star and the host reads a statement about that star. If they agree/disagree correctly, they get to eliminate one of the bad keys, increasing their chance at winning the bonus round. For each unsuccessful attempt at a prize, one bad key was removed automatically.


1st win: Car
2nd win: $25,000
3rd win: Trip around the world
4th win: $50,000
5th win: $100,000

Returning Champions: Champions can stay on until defeated or win 5 bonus rounds. Not sure if I want to have a Tournament of Champions for this one yet.


Theme Weeks:

Game Show Week: Game Show personalities from the past and present take the squares.
NASCAR Week: This one would take place during Speedweeks in Daytona Beach, Florida and again during All-Star Week in Charlotte, North Carolina. NASCAR Drivers from the past and present would occupy the squares.

Verdict?

[Mandoli]

I want to see a minor change about the bonus round. It could be tweaked a little bit. I'm not saying it has to be "pick a square, win a prize". Perhaps combine the true/false with the bonus round before that (all I know is that it involved only one of the celebrities - maybe that celebrity helps the contestant with true/false statements?).

Also... 2014. I'd prefer fresh faces. Just not too fresh.

Another also... Go Canada. (I'd feel stupid if you didn't know what I was talking about.)

Can I at least use the 1986-89 theme music for Hollywood Squares?


And no, I don't know what you're talking about with the 'Go Canada' bit.

TO TELL THE TRUTH


Host: Wayne Gretzky (if Lynn Swann could transition from being an athlete to a TV host, so can the Great One (besides, it would be almost impossible to screw up To Tell The Truth))
Announcer: Burton Richardson (ABC) or Mark L. Wahlberg (syndicated)
Network: ABC (Weekdays 1 PM, replacing 'The Chew') or syndicated via CBS Television Distribution
Theme Music: 1990-91 version
Taping Location: Sunset Bronson Studios (with studio audience)
Regular Panelists: Orson Bean, John O' Hurley, Betty White, Vicki Lawrence, Caroline Rhea, Richard Karn, Tim Allen
Semi-Regular Panelists: Danica Patrick, Colin Kaepernick, Alyson Stoner, Vincent Martella, Jeff Foxworthy, Queen Latifah, Pat Sajak, Vanna White, Dave Coulier, Bob Saget, John Stamos, Alex Trebek, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Maria Bartiromo 


Format: Same as the original - a team of 3 challengers, all of whom claim to be the same person, try to fool a panel of 4 celebrities. 2 of the challengers are lying and only 1 has signed a statement swearing TO TELL THE TRUTH. Each panelist has 1 minute to ask as many questions amongst the challengers as possible. After each of the panelists asks their questions, it's time for the panelists and the studio audience to vote for either number 1, number 2 or number 3. The team of challengers receives $1,000 for each incorrect vote, with a guarantee of $2,000. If the panel and audience are fooled completely, the team of challengers is awarded $5,000 (just like the O' Hurley version).  The home audience can vote as well by using their mobile devices. They can text the number of their vote to 'TRUTH' (77874) (standard messaging/data rates apply). They can also go on the show's website to cast their vote. If a panelist thinks they have an unfair advantage or think they know the central subject, they are required to disqualify themselves, which, as always, goes down as an incorrect vote.


One-On-One: Same as the 1990-91 version. A new civilian player is brought out with 2 stories, one of which is the truth. Each panelist can ask 1 question to the contestant about each of the stories. If a randomly chosen studio audience member can spot the truth, they'll win $1,000.




Verdict?

Great Idea mikedodgers but I Want you to use the Vocal Version of the 1990 Theme by Take 6 instead of the Orchestral Version.

How About a Revival of Daytime Wheel of Fortune and Supermarket Sweep

First Wheel of Fortune

Host: Tom Bergeron

Speed-Up Rounds will be used in some shows for the Daytime Run but in the end the player with the Most will get a chance to play in the Bonus Round

Bonus Round: Same as the Nighttime Except behind 24 Spaces one of the bigger prizes any showcase prize that has a gold star in it and some cash decisions so you can tempt by keeping it cash or risking it on the next show by putting it on account (Ranging from $5,000-$25,000) or a Booby Prize (such as a Box of Rice A Roni or A 12 Pack Can of Soda), if someone wins the Booby Prize, Confetti and Streamers will go off (Just like if someone wins the $100,000 or $1 Million on the Nighttime Version) and he or she will win the cash value of the Joke Prize (Valued up to $100) and will be placed in Cash.

1, 2, 3 (If one player's right, they get 10 seconds, If all 3 players are right, everyone gets 30 seconds)

At the end of the Big Sweep, the bell will ring, and all shoppers must head back to the checkout counter with their goods, and the official checkers will enter all the merchandise into the registers, and the final totals will round off to the nearest dollar.

Like they say in the 60's version hosted by Bill Malone: "Everything you sweep is yours to keep". In other words, all 3 teams keep their cash, groceries, prizes (and the sweatshirts).
But the team whose runner has swept up the most money in merchandise and bonuses wins the Big Sweep and the right to play the Bonus Sweep a chance at $50,000!

Bonus Sweep: The winning team has 60 seconds to find the $50,000 prize. They have 3 clues to assist them. The first clue will take them to the first product, where they will find the clue to the next product, where they will find the clue to the product that hides the money. If the team fails to find the money in time, they receive $1,000 for each item they find (including the 3rd item if they do not get their hands ON THE MONEY by the sound of the bell).

Returning Champions: Champions return until defeated or they win the Bonus Sweep if they do they will comeback for the Double Your Money Sweep of Champions Week.

And So On.

Oh And By The Way for the Supermarket Sweep Revival in the Previous Post: Will There Be Food that the Contestants Keep?
Answer: Well in the 1960's Version all contestants keep the food they won on the Show along with other items, but in the 1990 Revival hosted by David Ruprecht if the win the sweep they get the Cash Value of the Goods and Bonus that they acquired during the sweep. Everything except the big meat items is real including the Huge Blocks of Cheese (At least in the first year we tried using real hams and turkeys but failed due to time constraints) however in the revival The Show will be set in a Supermarket filled with Unexpired Groceries however if nobody gets the groceries they pick up (like in the 60's version "Everything You Sweep is yours to keep) it will be donated to charities (like food banks, soup kitchens for homeless people, and the like.) but if they gets the groceries they earn on the show, they keep it.

As for the Remaining Special Weeks

Teen Week: Teenagers Compete, Bonus Sweep will be played for $25,000 those who won the Bonus Sweep may not comeback for the Sweep of Champions (instead of $50,000)
Gourmet Week: Takes Place Before February's Sweep of Champions as Contestants from around the around will compete w/ questions about worldwide food and products $50,000 Bonus Sweep for the first 4 shows. The top 3 winners from the first 4 days return on the Friday show to compete for a trip around the world and a chance at that month's Sweep of Champions. The Bonus Sweep is not played on the Friday Show.
Celebrity Week: Celebrities Compete for Charity throughout the week.
And for November's Sweep Of Champions which will place on Thanksgiving Week: 9 Teams that have won the Bonus Sweep return for a chance at another $50,000 in the bonus sweep, The Week will cap off with 2 Holiday Celebrity Specials and Thursday and Friday and during the Big Sweep in addition to the Big Money Makers for the whole week on the previous post, The Holiday Meal Package will be up for grabs in the Big Sweep including 2 Butterball Turkeys, Betty Crocker Potato Buds, Frozen Vegetables, and etc., The Holiday Meal Package will also be avaliable in the Bonus Round on Daytime WOF (which airs Before Supermarket Sweep) and it will be just like the gag prizes.

And Also Since ABC O&O's airs Jeopardy on Syndication, I Better want to give You Don't Know Jack to air after Supermarket Sweep

Audience (in Unision): YOU DON'T KNOW JACK!
(Cue Living by the Beat)
Cookie: Yes, Get Set for You Don't Know Jack, The Show where high culture and pop culture collide like (insert funny comment), With your Host Jeff Foxworthy and today's three contestants (insert contestants along with their information including their hometown and occupation) and now here's Jeff Foxworthy!

Round 1 - Three contestants competed. In round one, Host asked a series of questions worth $1,000.

After up to three questions were played, round one ended with a mini-round called "DisOrDat", which had a similar format to the computer game. Stevens gave the players a clue and the contestants had to choose one of the two possible answers. Correct answers were still worth $1,000. If any player gave an incorrect answer, the others could not steal; also, in the DisOrDat, a player giving a wrong answer took $1,000 away.

Round 2 - Round Two was the same as Round One, but with dollar values doubled. Round Two ended with a feature called "The $250,000 Question". The question's supposed value would start at that amount and decrease over time, Whoever eventually answered the question correctly won the remaining value of the question.

Round 3 - Round three featured questions worth $3,000 apiece. Always popping up in this round was a question worth $3,000 under the category of "Things That Sound Dirty but Aren't.", the round ended with Jack Attack in which the players were given a category and a series of clues. A series of answers then flew onto the screen. When an answer that fit both the category and the clue appeared on the screen, the players would buzz in and call out the answer. Correct answers were worth $5,000, but every incorrect answer given deducted $5,000 from the player's score. Six Questions will be asked

The Final Question - All 3 contestants will wrote down one final wager while barriers are placed between the contestants, after the final commercial break, after the break,, all three contestants were asked a math question involving several elements of pop culture and fact, performing the operations in the order they appeared in the question (for instance, the unit number on M*A*S*H added to the number of digits in a U.S. Social Security number, minus the number of Beatles on the cover of The White Album, and the result divided by the number represented by a roll of "snake eyes"; the answer would be (4077 + 9 - 0) / 2 = 2043). They had 30 seconds to solve the problem; during their thinking time, they would be distracted by such things as a crying baby, a high school marching band, and children playing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star on violins. At the end of the round, the answer was revealed, and the players revealed their answers. Any players answering correctly earned won the value of the wager if they fail they have that amount subtracted from their score.

Returning Champions - Contestants Stay until they are defeated or win 5 Games.

This is not the first time I've said this....

You could bring back "Supermarket Sweep" tomorrow with Guy Fieri as the host on the Flavortown ("Guy's Grocery Games") set. Because Al Howard already gets an IP check from Relativity (if you've ever seen the show, you know why), the relationships between Al and the crew (Tom Forman's the EP), it should be easy to do.

How about this one?

WHO'S STILL STANDING?

Host: Ben Bailey
Announcer: Joe Cipirano
Network: NBC (Thursdays 8 PM)
Duration: 1 hour
Taping Location: Hollywood Center Studios

Format: Same as before. 1 'Hero' stands in the center of the stage, playing against 10 'Villains' in a series of intense head-to-head trivia battles. Each contestant gets 20 seconds to answer a question posed by the host. They also get 2 'passes' to use during each battle. You can only pass once per question. You can guess as much as you like, but if you run out of time, you'll fall through the floor. Here's how the money will grow:

$1,000,000
$500,000
$250,000
$100,000
$75,000
$50,000
$25,000
$10,000
$5,000
$1,000

Drop all 10 'Villains', win $1,000,000. If the 'Hero' drops, the 'Villain' who defeated them gets their winnings and a Speed Round begins (the Speed Round will also take place if a 'Hero' decides to leave the game on their own terms). In the Speed Round, a series of rapid-fire questions are asked and the remaining 'Villains' have 10 seconds to answer each one. Each right answer is worth $5,000, but a wrong answer sends that 'Villain' through the floor. Last one standing takes the bank.


Verdict?

[mikedodgers]

I'm gonna try another one. It's the TV version of everyone's favorite game....


SCRABBLE

Host: I wouldn't mind Chuck Woolery returning, but in case he doesn't want to host again, I have 3 hosts in mind....Marc Summers (Chuck's usual sub from the original 'Scrabble'), Jason Harris (Double Dare 2000) and Ben Bailey (Cash Cab). (Chuck Woolery would still be involved in the show as executive producer)
Announcer: Rich Fields
Network: NBC or Syndicated via NBCUniversal
Taping Location: Sunset Bronson Studios
Theme music: 1984-1990 version
Opening: It's a (# of letters) word and the clue is (clue). (Audience shouts the word) It's the crossword game you've played all your life, but never quite like this! (Audience: SCRABBLE!) And here's your host....(host's name)!


Format: I will use the straddling format from the first 2 years of the original show's run, however....the champion must play another crossword game to make it back to the Sprint. Crossword rounds are played until someone gets 3 words right. A letter is revealed along with a clue and amount of letters in the word. The rest of the letters are scrambled and controlled by the numbered tiles between the players. Each player picks 2 tiles in their proper turn and places them. However, they must be careful because there are 3 letters that don't belong in the word at all. They are called STOPPERS. Hit a STOPPER, lose your turn. If all 3 Stoppers are picked, that word will be played in Speedword (Speedword will also be played if there's a 2-0 game (if necessary) or 2-2 tie). In Speedword, letters are placed one at a time, except for the last letter, until the word is solved. First player to get 3 words right wins the game, $1,000, and advances to Scrabble Sprint. Pink and Blue bonus squares are worth money. Blue is worth $1,000, Pink is worth $2,000.

Scrabble Sprint: The winner of the first Crossword round will establish a time for the winner of the 2nd Crossword game to try and beat. Both players play the same 4 words. All letters are good, no Stoppers in any of the 4 words. Fastest time wins an additional $1,000 and advances to the Bonus Sprint.


Bonus Sprint: The winner of Scrabble Sprint now plays 2 words under Scrabble Sprint rules and must solve them in 10 seconds or less to win the jackpot. The jackpot starts at $50,000 and increases by $5,000 every day until it's claimed.

Returning Champions: Champions can stay on until defeated or win 10 Bonus Sprints, meaning that a champion could leave the show as a millionaire.


Tournament of Champions: Not sure yet if I should have one for this show.


What's the verdict?

I Agree but for the Theme Music you could probably use the 1993 Theme as an Alternate Option and maybe if you want Charlie Tuna as a announcer, let me know.
