And now a Revival for The Krypton Factor
Host: Willie Aames (if not Regis Philbin)
Announcer: John Cramer
Network: NBC
Theme Music: The 1986 UK Theme by Art of Noise
Timeslot: Tuesday Nights at 8PM right before The Voice (will run all the way to December) and Thursday Nights at 8:30 PM (before Chicago Med)
Taping Location: Hollywood Center Studios
Format: Same as the 1990-1991 Version that Willie Aames hosted but with some changes involved
Round 1 - Intelligence: A two or three-dimensional puzzle where shapes had to be put together to fill a rectangular grid or make a bigger shape was the basis for this round., The contestants would be asked to construct something using the pieces given, The Person who finishes first will win 10 Points, 2nd place will get 8 points, 3rd place will get 6 Points and last place will get 4 points
Round 2 - Observation: This round was played like round four in the original version; for this was where players were tested on memory. For they were shown a scene from a specially made video clip or a clip from an NBC Series that is running as of now (including Timeless, Chicago Fire, Blindspot, This Is Us, Chicago PD and Law & Order SVU), and they were asked two questions about it, which could be either visual or verbal information, in turn in reverse order. Each correct answer was worth 10 points. There was also a bonus round in which the players were directed to the Krypton Cart, which concealed an object seen or mentioned in the clip. The players were given five clues to its identity, and had to jump in to answer. A correct answer was worth 10 points but each player could only jump in once during the bonus round.
Round 3 - Physical Ability: Same as the 1981 (ABC) & 1990 (Syndicated Version): This round featured an obstacle course run that was pretaped in advance. This course took place in Palos Verdes and began with a death slide, followed by a bicycle race, and ended with the Krypton Pavilion, a series of skill and agility tests. Scoring remained the same as the original version. (1st: 20, 2nd: 15, 3rd: 10 and 4th: 5)
Final Round - General Knowledge: In the final round, the contestants were asked a series of general knowledge toss-up questions in which each correct answer would usually segue to the next question. Players did not have to wait until the question was fully read to jump in, but only the first player to do so got to answer. Each correct answer was worth two points, but each incorrect answer was worth minus two points, with the values doubling to +/-4 points midway through the round.
The player with the most points at the end of the competition won $10,000 and the right to play in Final Heat against the other weekly winners for $50,000 in cash and the right to play in the Krypton Finals which will air right before the December Finale of The Voice (with Carson Daly)
Payout Structure for making in the tournament
Heats: $10,000 for 1st, $5,000 for 2nd, $2,500 for 3rd and $1,000 for 4th
Heat Finals: $50,000 for 1st, $25,000 for 2nd, $10,000 for 3rd, and $5,000 for 4th
Krypton Finals: $1 Million for First, $500,000 for 2nd, $250,000 for 3rd and $100,000 for 4th
Verdict, This time?

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 $500. 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 along with a new prize. Bonus Game: The Bonus Game will be from the 1998-2001 version as Each of the nine squares hid a different prize, with $10,000 cash ($15,000 in season 3) and a car being the two most expensive.

(And after she introduces the 3 contestants as she leaves for the puzzleboard) Gameplay: Same as the nighttime version of that show except a contestant who solves the Puzzle correctly will get to shop for prizes however if a contestant doesn't have money he can take the Gift Card (from a retailer like Sears or Wal-Mart) or risking it by putting On Account in hopes of risking the leftover money from the last round in hopes of solving the puzzle correctly. 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-$50,000) 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 which can be placed on account. Returning Champions - Unlimited Until Defeated And Now a Cable a revival of Bumper Stumpers on USA Network Host: Anthony Farrell Announcer: Ken Ryan Network: USA Network (Weekdays at 2:30 PM ET/1:30 PM CT) in the USA and Global or GameTV in Canada Theme Music: The 1987-1990 Theme by Ed Lojeski Taping Location: Global Television Studios in Toronto, ON Main Game - Two bumper stumpers are given, along with who one of them belongs to. If you choose which plate belongs to the person, you score $250. If you can also correctly solve the plate, you get $500. If a player picks the wrong plate, no money are awarded, even if they can decipher the plate. The winners of the jump-in chose one of the remaining blank spaces to fill in on the Super Stumper, then were given five seconds to try to come up with the solution. Coming up with the solution won the game and $1,000. If a team could not solve the Super Stumper after all seven spaces were revealed, the opposing team had one final chance to solve it. Three Rounds will be played with the amounts will be doubled in Round 2 ($500 if you choose the right plate to this person and $1,000 if the plate is solved), Round 3 ($750 for right plate this person and $1,500 if it's solved) more rounds will be played with time permits until a Speed Up Stumper is played as theremaining black spaces will be filled until they solve it, The team with the most money became champion and won the game. Bonus Round - Done in 2 Parts Part 1: The Stumper Seven - 7 stumpers are given, 6 regular ones and the last being the hardest one, the Ultimate Stumper. At least two people must solve a plate correctly in order to capture that plate. If two people solve the Ultimate Stumper, your main game winnings triple, and all of your bonus opportunities will triple as well. Part 2: The Final Stumper - The winning team is shown 7 boxes (S-T-U-M-P-E-R) Up on the board are dollar amounts ranging from $200-$2000 and Stop Signs. Depending on how many bumper stumpers the team got right in the stumper seven depends on how many stop signs will be hidden on the board. If the team solves all but two of the regular plates correctly, two Stop Signs will be hidden on the board, replacing the lowest $$ amounts possible. There will always be a minimum of one stop sign up there. The object is to get $2000 or more, without seeing the evil, red octagon. Members of the team will alternate picking squares, in an attempt to get to that $2000 goal. If the team reaches more than $2000, they win a bonus of $10,000. If the team hits $2000 exactly, they win $20,000 in cash. Returning Champions - Contestants Stay Until they win 5 Matches Verdict? |

Now My Revival for Caesar's Challenge and Classic Concentration for NBC Host: Ahmad Rashad (if not Cris Collinsworth) Announcer: Joe Cipriano Gladiator: Dan Doherty Network: NBC Taping Location: Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, NV (however NBC affiliate KSNV will air it along with all of the NBC Affiliates including KNTV in San Francisco) Theme Music and Cues: Same as the 1993 Version by Stormy Sacks Opening Spiel: From the entertainment resort capital of the world, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada, it's the exciting new prize maximus letter-perfect game show, "Caesar's Challenge"! Ladies and gentlemen, Ahmad Rashad (or Cris Collinsworth) Rules: Three contestants competed, and three rounds were played. The object in each round was to solve a jumbled word displayed on a 9-screen slot machine on stage by placing letters in their proper places. In order to do this, the contestants answered a series of multiple choice trivia questions that had three possible answer choices. Each new word was associated with a specific category, and a new set of questions were played for each word. Correct answers paid off at $100 in the first round, $200 in the second round, and $300 in the third round. Two words were played in each of the first two rounds, with the third round played until time was called with as many words they could get in as possible. Correctly answering a question won money to the player that did so, as well as the right to place one of the letters. After a letter was placed, he/she got five seconds to guess it. One position in each word was designated the "Lucky Slot", signified by a lighted red border surrounding the screen, and an instant cash jackpot was associated with it. The jackpot started each day at $1,000 and increased by that amount each word it went unclaimed, resetting to $500 once someone won it. Once a word was correctly guessed, the player that did so won money based on how many letters were unplaced when the word was unscrambled. The value of each unplaced letter was equivalent to the value of the questions in the round ($100 in round one, $200 in round two, and $300 in round three as previously mentioned). If the player solved the word immediately after placing a letter in the Lucky Slot, the value of the jackpot was also added to his/her score. If a word was in play when time was called in the third round, signified by the sound of a car horn, the Lucky Slot was taken out of play and the remaining unplaced letters were placed one at a time until someone guessed the word and earned the remaining money left from the unplaced letters. Buzzing in and answering incorrectly during this time locked a player out of the rest of the round. If a word was not in play when time was called in the third round, one final word was played; the letters of that word were placed one at a time until someone guessed the word. The player with the most money at the end of the game won a prize package equivalent to his/her cash total and advanced to the bonus round. The other players left with parting gifts, including dinner for two and tickets to one of the headliner acts that were at Caesars at the time as well as the money they've earned so they can spend at the casino. In the case of a tie, another speed-up round was played between the tied players. Bonus Round: The day's champion was given a chance to win a brand new automobile in the final round and it featured a giant rotating bingo cage with 200 lettered balls inside of it, which hung from the ceiling of the Circus Maximus. Leading into the round the cage would be lowered until it came to rest alongside a chute to which a ramp was attached, onto which the lettered balls would drop as they came out of the cage. To start the round, Ahmad Rashad gave the command, "let the tournament begin" Upon the giving of the command, the cage began spinning and each letter was called out by the gladiator as it came down the ramp. A backstage computer kept track of each letter as it was drawn, looking for any dictionary-certified nine-letter word that could be formed from the drawn balls. Once such a word was found, a gong sounded and a voice bellowed "Caesar says STOP". The cage then stopped rotating and the nine letters were displayed in the order in which they came out of the cage. Initially, no balls were drawn until the round began. Later, some were drawn as a time-saver leading into the commercial break before the bonus game. These balls were shown to the audience before the round officially began. A new champion got to place one of the nine letters in its proper place, and once it was the champion received 10 seconds to guess it correctly. If he/she was not able to do so, the champion would be allowed to place one additional letter for each subsequent time he/she returned. Guessing correctly at any point in their reign won a champion the car and retired them undefeated. Returning Champions: Contestants Stay on until defeated or the win the car in the bonus round And Now My Revival for Classic Concentration Host: Alex Trebek (unless if he's retired from Jeopardy go with Richard Karn) Announcer: Burton Richardson Models: Paige Collings (Yep Monopoly Millionaire's Club have been cancelled so she would model the prizes), Kalyn Hemphill (Model on Season 6 of Project Runway) and Tiana Zarlin (Season 2 Winner of Oxygen's The Face) Network: NBC Theme Music: Same as the 1987 Version by Score Productions
Taping Location: Sunset Bronson Studios Opening Spiel: Behind These Numbers is a Puzzle Can You Solve It (insert explanation of a Rebus) If you can do that, you'll have a chance to win one of these eight fabulous cars as we play Classic Concentration! And here's your host of Concentration, Alex Trebek (or Richard Karn!) Main Game: Two contestants faced a computer animated game board consisting of 25 numbered squares. Behind those numbers were matching pairs of prizes. The hidden prizes cover up a rebus puzzle which the contestants try to solve. To start the game, two puzzle pieces were revealed at the start. Later shows gave no head starts. On a player's turn he/she picked off two numbers at a time. If the numbers he/she picked uncovered a match, he/she won the prize and revealed pieces of a puzzle. If he/she doesn't match, control of the board goes to the opponent. In Addition to the Prize Cards and the Wild Cards, there were the following action cards Wild Card - This was a very special square which if uncovered, caused an automatic match. When one was uncovered, another number on the board revealed the natural match; so therefore three or more pieces were revealed instead of two. When the show started, there were three on the board and if two were found in the same turn, the contestant won a $500 cash bonus; if all three were found in the same turn, the contestant won a $1,000 cash bonus. Certain games in later shows had just one wild card on the board; so the $500/$1,000 cash bonuses did not apply. Take One Gift - There were two of these cards in each game. If a player matched them, he/she could take their choice of any of the prizes listed on their opponent's prize board. Of course, the game had to be won to receive all prizes listed on their prize board there will be two pairs (one green, one red) and the TAKEs had to be matched by color (Green to Green, and Red to Red; a Red & Green pair was not considered a match). Cashpot - A Cashpot starting at $1,000 and increases $250 if it's not claimed. The first player to solve the puzzle kept all the prizes & bonus cash and went on to play the bonus game for a new car. Should time run out in the middle of the second game, the puzzle was revealed one square at a time and the first player to buzz-in with the correct solution was declared the winner. If the buzz-in played missed, the remainder of the puzzle was revealed and the opponent got a free guess. Bonus Round: In the bonus round instead of 25 numbered squares, the winning contestant was faced with 15 numbered squares. Behind the numbers were eight brand new cars. Seven of them will match each other while one car will not match, this acted as a decoy to distract the contestant. The winning contestant's objective was to match as many cars as they can within the time limit; the time was 35 seconds plus 5 for every bonus round loss. If he/she can match all seven cars before time ran out, the winning contestant kept the last car matched. Returning Champions: Contestants stay on until defeated (just like on Alex Trebek's other show Jeopardy!) but the added twist if the Contestant wins the Car the contestant can continue playing but they can keep the car or substitute it for the Cash Value of the Car if they want to. Verdict on the Revivals of Both Shows? |

I just saw the unsold 1989 pilot for 'TKO' with Peter Tomarken. It was good in general, but I think the reasons it didn't sell were because of no returning champions (they had the same 3 players all week, like 'Jackpot') and no bonus round. Well, I'm correcting that with this one.
TKO
Host: Michael Strahan
Announcer: Rich Fields
Taping Location: Kaufman Astoria Studios, New York
Network: ABC (Weekdays at 3 PM, replacing General Hospital)
Opening: Meet (our returning champion) ________, a ________ from __________! _________, A __________ from _________! And ________, A __________ from ______________! These 3 people will compete today on....T! K! O! And here's the star of our show....MICHAEL STRAHAN!
Gameplay: 3 contestants, 1 of whom is a returning champion, compete in a game of survival. The first 2 rounds are spent building up the contestants' banks. To do that, they must answer questions correctly based on a category. Questions range from $200-$1000 in round 1. There are 3 columns of 5 questions and each question has a different category. On the board for each question are 3 sets of initials. The first player to buzz in with the correct initials and full answer wins the value for that question. In each round, there are 2 KNOCKOUT questions. The person who gets the question right wins the money and gets to knock that amount off of one of their opponents' scores.
Knockout Game: The goal of this round is to knock your opponents' scores down to zero. Each time you beat your opponents to the buzzer with a right answer, you knock off some money from their score. The amount is determined from a randomizer that ranges from $500-$2000. Last player standing wins the game, the money they've won plus $10,000 and goes for $100,000 in....THE GAUNTLET!
The Gauntlet: In this bonus game, the champion now faces rapid fire trivia questions. Using only a set of initials as a clue to the answer, the champion must give 10 consecutive correct answers in 2 minutes to win. For the first answer, they get $250 and for every right answer after that doubles the money:
1 - $250
2 - $500
3 - $1,000
4 - $2,000
5 - $4,000
6 - $8,000
7 - $16,000
8 - $32,000
9 - $64,000
10 - $100,000
You can pass as much as you want. All passing will cost you is time and won't count against you. Only thing that counts against you are wrong answers. If you miss, you get sent back to the start and you get a strike. If you get 3 strikes, you're out. Regardless of the outcome of the bonus game, the champion gets to come back next show to try again and can continue on the show until defeated.

And by the way mikedodgers, you can use the Theme to Illinois Instant Riches for TKO speaking of Illinois Instant Riches, here's my revival of that show. Host: Mark Goodman Co-Host: Liinda Kollmeyer Announcer: Tony Russell Network: Statewide Syndication in Illinois (Including WGN which is now independent in 2016 and will be simulcasted on WGN America on Cable Systems in the USA) Theme Music: The TKO/Body Talk/Illinois Instant Riches Theme by Score Productions
Taping Location: WGN Studios in Chicago, IL Fifteen contestants were in the contestant pool. Kollmeyer would spin a wheel that was hooked to lights above each contestant's seat. When the wheel stopped, the player whose seat was lit would play a game, in addition to winning a set of lottery tickets. MINI GAMES Force Field: A magnet was suspended from the ceiling above a table of 10 magnets arranged in a circle. The magnets had corresponding money amounts: $1,000-$5,000, $8,000, $10K, $12K, $15K, and $20K. The pendulum was placed on a launcher locked on the outer ring of the table, and could be moved to any position along the ring. Contestants released the pendulum, it would swing, then become attracted to one of the magnets—the player won the amount of money associated with the magnet. That space was replaced with a "Wipe Out". The contestant then re-launched the pendulum—ideally, winning more money in the process. If the pendulum landed on "Wipe Out", the contestant lost all of the money accumulated in the first swing. At this point, another "Wipe Out" was placed over the amount from swing #2 (or, if the contestant did "Wipe Out", it was simply left alone) and another was placed on the lowest dollar amount still left on the table - bringing the maximum total number of "Wipe Out" spaces to three. The largest dollar amount on the table was multiplied by 5. The contestant could either choose to risk their money on one final swing or stop with what they had; hitting a "Wipe Out" would cause them to go bankrupt, but hitting a money space added the money total to their total. Maximum payoff is $127,000. Home Run: Contestants were shown a board with 3 "players" - an orange player, a blue player, and a yellow player. They were then shown a board of 12 numbered boxes, and asked to call out numbers, one at a time. Finding three of a color ended up the game and awarded the contestant a cash prize -- $1,000 (for the orange player), $10,000 (for the blue player), or a cash prize of up to $100,000 (for the yellow player). Before the game, the contestant would choose from one of four cards, each of which hid a different cash amount (one each of $25,000, $50,000, $75,000, and $100,000), to determine the jackpot value for the yellow player. If the yellow player finished first, the contestant won the jackpot value. The game motif had a baseball theme, which was changed to a football theme for football season, basketball for basketball season, and a horse race theme for a special at a local race track. Host Goodman often made jokes about the players going on strike when the game changed themes. Mismatch: This game had the contestant stand behind a pair of containers that he/she couldn't see the contents of. Each container had three colored balls: red, yellow, and green. The contestant would draw one ball from the container on their right to establish a "base" color. The player was then spotted $5,000 and asked to draw a ball from the other container. Pulling out a different color would earn the contestant another $5,000, while failing added nothing. After three pulls, the contestant was offered the choice to stop or try for one last pull. A second ball of the base color would then be added to the mix. A mismatch would triple the money, while a match cost the contestant half of their earnings. Maximum payoff is $60,000. Vortex: Contestants were shown 7 balls, arranged in a line—five yellow and two red. They were positioned at the top of a funnel-like table, designed so that when the balls reached the bottom, they would form a daisy-like pattern with one ball surrounded by the other six. The object was to have a yellow ball in the middle. The contestant was given $4,000 and asked to release the balls by pulling a lever that sent the balls down the funnel and into the center circle at the bottom. If a yellow ball was in the middle, their winnings were doubled. For the second pull, a yellow ball was swapped for a red one, but the contestant's winnings tripled if the center ball came up yellow. For each of these first two pulls, contestants did not lose any money if the center ball came up red. A contestant could stop after two pulls, or opt for a third pull, where there were 4 red balls and 3 yellow ones. If the contestant chose to continue, their cash total quadrupled if a yellow ball was in the middle, but lost half of their winnings if a red ball was in the middle. Maximum payoff is $96,000. Knockout: This game utilized a round table, divided into 12 sections. Four cylinders were placed on the table, and a cube was placed in the middle. When turned on, the cube would vibrate and move around the table in a random manner—potentially knocking down the cylinders. The contestant was spotted $3,000 and in the first round, the cube was activated for 10 seconds. Any cylinder still standing after that time earned the contestant an additional $1,500/cylinder. The cube was then activated for another 15 seconds, and any cylinders still remaining after this time were worth an addition $2,500. Double Dollars: The contestant pulls a lever that will launch a ping pong ball to the top of the board, through swinging paddles, through a series of pegs, and into one of eight slots at the bottom of the board. Landing in an empty slot was worth $5,000. Each empty slot accumulated an additional $5,000. If a ping pong ball landed in a slot that was already occupied, he/she would be issued a strike. After two strikes, the contestant could stop and take their winnings, or opt for another pull. If a ping pong ball landed in an empty slot, the contestant would have his/her money doubled, and would be offered another pull. If the contestant earned their third strike, they would lose half of their winnings. Play would continue until all eight slots are filled, a third strike is issued, or the contestant chose to stop. The theoretical maximum payoff is $640,000, but this would require that each of a contestant's first three balls land in the same slot, followed by each following ball landing in a new slot. Bonus Game (Pot O' Gold): The returning champion would stand at the end of a path behind a secret keypad with three buttons and a red button. The opponent (the biggest money winner from the current show) stood at the front of the path, with 8 spaces between the two. The first 5 steps were numbered 1-5, the last three had cash. The opponent could take up to three steps at a time, but the champion was charged with predicting which step the opponent would pick, known as playing a booby-trap. After the opponent took his/her position, Goodman would ask the champion to spring the trap (press the red button). If the opponent dodged the trap, the game would continue. If not, the opponent had to return to their original position. Each step had a yellow light that would turn to a flashing orange whenever the booby-trap was sprung, in case the player hit the trap. If the player avoided the trap, the yellow light flashed, and the orange light would light up where the booby-trap was placed. Opponents won and took over the championship if they landed on one of the last three spaces on the path—the first was worth $10,000, the second worth $25,000, and the last marked "Big Money". If the opponent ended on this space, he/she could pick from a tray of coins worth anywhere from $40,000 to $200,000. If the champion successfully trapped the challenger twice, the game ended with the champion winning an additional $20,000. RETURNING CHAMPIONS: Contestants stay on until defeated (Think Cash Explosion) Verdict? |

Here's one for you:
DEBT
Network: ABC (Daytime, replacing Right This Minute on most stations) or syndicated via Disney-ABC Domestic Television
Host: Jason David Frank (ABC), Vincent Martella (syndicated) (if Wink Martindale isn't available)
Announcer: John Cramer
Taping Location: Sunset Bronson Studios
DROWNING IN A SEA OF BILLS?
Jason David Frank (Vincent Martella in syndication): Then it's time to play....DEBT! The game show where 3 debt-laiden Americans, just like you, compete to have us pay off all their bills and go home with NOTHING! Now, let's meet today's contestants!
(intros of contestants with their debt situation)
John Cramer: And now, starting at host....the new Crown Prince of Credit, the Duke of Debt....JASON DAVID FRANK! (Vincent Martella for the syndicated version) (that's if Wink isn't available, if Wink hosts the show, the original intro returns)
Gameplay: Same as the original, season 1 rules are in play, but there will be 2 Debtonators on the board, each worth $1000 off a player's debt. Also, contestants don't have to respond with 'You Are....' In General Debt, questions are worth anywhere from $500 to $2500 off a player's debt. The 2 players with the least debt remaining advance to Gambling Debt. Amounts for Gambling Debt are as follows:
Category 1: $1000
Category 2: $1500
Category 3: $2500
Category 4: $3000
Category 5: $5000
An eliminated player gets a Debt piggy bank along with a savings bond - $2500 if eliminated after General Debt, $5000 if eliminated after Gambling Debt.
Last player standing after Gambling Debt advances to the Get Out of Debt bonus round. Still 10 answers out of the same category in 60 seconds. Do that and your entire original debt is wiped out. After that round, you have a chance to Bet Your Debt. That's one question in your specialty area of pop culture. Get it right and whatever you won in the main game is doubled. Get it wrong and you're back in the whole with your original debt amount.
Champions can stay on until they lose or until they wipe out their debt.

How about my idea for how I believe "Whew!" should be brought back next year. Opening Spiel: CLOSE CALLS!!!, NARROW ESCAPES!!!, SPLIT SECOND DECISIONS!!!, AND A CHANCE AT A POSSIBLE $100,000 IN CASH!!!, A COMBINATION GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU SAY.... WHEW!!!! Network: ABC. Host: Trey Wingo (late of ESPN). Announcer: Dean Goss (A former announcer on "Let's Make A Deal" in 1985 & 1986). Timeslot: To be determined. Taping Location: Stays the same at Television City Studios in Hollywood, California. Format: The rules are pretty much the same as before Except this time all 3 rounds of the game will be played. In each round the blocker will place 6 blocks on the game board against the charger, and the charger will have 60 seconds to charge up through the 6 levels of the board correcting the mistakes made in each question called the "Bloopers" while avoiding the blocks on the board that can cost that player a 5 second penalty lost off the clock, and that person can still call for a "Long Shot" if time is running out before they reach level 6 with the dollar values on the board on 5 levels or rows of 5 squares being values ranging from $50-$250 in $50 increments on levels 1-5, and a sixth level of dollar values of $1,000, $1,750, and $2,500. A maximum $3,750 per round for a total of up to $11,250 for the whole game is available, but both contestants have to remember that the bigger the dollar value is on a level the tougher the blooper will be to correct. This time in addition to earning money in the game, and all 3 rounds played, any contestant that wins a round scores points added to a point scoreboard on their side that starts with Round 1 worth 100 points, Round 2 worth 200 points, and a win of the 3rd and final round worth 300 points (the high total point score here being up to 600 points), and after all 3 rounds, the player who scores the most points for rounds won wins the game, keeps the money they gathered throughout the game, and goes on to play the bonus round against the 10 villains that has been "The Gauntlet Of Villains" but now due to legal issues with another game show that recently took "The Gauntlet" name is now called "The Haunted Hauntlet". Bonus Round: The winning contestant here starts this round with a starting jackpot to play for in "The Haunted Hauntlet" of $25,000 and roll 3 special 6 sided dice, each with 3 sides having 0 on them, 2 sides having $5,000 on them, and 1 side having $25,000 on it, and whatever total amount of money comes up on the 3 dice will be added to the starting amount of $25,000 (up to $75,000 more) and that will be what that contestant will play "The Haunted Hauntlet" round for, adding up to as much as $100,000 in cash. Then the contestant goes to and stands before a lined path of 10 stereotypical villains having 60 seconds plus one additional second for every $500 won in the Main Game as they go up against the villains while correcting the "Bloopers" to defeat them. If that player can defeat villain #1 through villain #10 before their determined time runs out, that person wins the determined jackpot of anywhere from $25,000 to $100,000. But if not, they get $250 for each villain that person does beat in addition to the money he/she won in the game. I hope you all agree with me on this.

How about this one?
DOUBLE DARE
Network: Nickelodeon or syndicated via CBS Television Distribution Host: Mike Greenberg (From ESPN) Announcer: Jonathan Magnum (from "Let's Make A Deal") Timeslot: Weekdays @ 5 PM or Weeknights @ 7 PM (daily Nickelodeon version) if syndicated TBA. Taping Location: CBS Television City, Studio 41 Theme Music: The music from the 80's kids game show "Fun House" by Score Productions Inc., Gary Scott, and Andy Clark.
Format: The game is played with 2 teams of 2 families of 4 just like in "FAMILY DOUBLE DARE" The game begins with a toss-up physical challenge. The first family to complete the challenge wins $100 and control of the game. A question will be asked and if the controlling team knows the answer, they may answer it. If they don't know the answer or thinks the other family hasn't got a clue, they may DARE them to answer for double the dollars. However, they must be careful because they can always be DOUBLE DARED right back for 4 times the amount and at that point, they must either answer the question or take a physical challenge for 6 times the original amount of the question.
Payout Structure:
Round 1:
Toss-Up: $100 Regular Question: $50 Dare: $100 Double Dare: $200 Physical Challenge: $300
Round 2:
Toss-Up: $200 Regular Question: $100 Dare: $200 Double Dare: $400 Physical Challenge: $600
The team with the most money at the end of the game advances to the Double Dare Slopstacle Course. Both families will keep the money they've won, with a house minimum of $500.
Slopstacle Course: The goal is still the same pretty much. The winning family must clear 8 obstacles in 60 seconds. Each obstacle is cleared by grabbing an orange flag. After an obstacle is cleared, a prize or cash prize is won. The odd numbered obstacles #1,#3,#5, and #7 are worth $2,500 cash apiece, obstacles #2, #4, and #6 are worth a fantastic prize, The family gets to keep the prizes and cash they win in the Slopstacle Course as well as the cash from the main game, but if they finish the course by clearing obstacle #8 before time runs out in addition to keeping everything they've won up to that point they also win a brand new car.
Champions: None, since this is a kids' game show.
Verdict? |

In each round, there is always at least one prize worth more than the top dollar amount on the board. During Round 2: A Car (Valued at anywhere at least $15,000) is avaliable at Square 5. The Car Changes each spin and if it's hit it becomes a regular prize however Shows aired on Friday will have a second car space (usually a Luxury Automoble) will be in Square #17. As Usual, the player with the most money at the end, or the last player standing after the other two have Whammied out of the game, keeps all their winnings. Of course, if two players have Whammied out before the other hasn't had a chance to use their spins yet, they can play against the house until they decide to stop, have used up all their spins, or have Whammied out. Losing contestants receive $1,000 for finishing 3rd and $2,000 for finishing 2nd (think Jeopardy!) 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!) How do you like it so Todd can host Miss USA, Miss Universe and Miss Teen USA back on CBS? |

I just saw the unsold 1989 pilot for 'TKO' with Peter Tomarken. It was good in general, but I think the reasons it didn't sell were because of no returning champions (they had the same 3 players all week, like 'Jackpot') and no bonus round. Well, I'm correcting that with this one. TKOHost: Craig Ferguson Announcer: Rich Fields Taping Location: Hollywood Center Studios Network: ABC Theme Music: The theme from the former 1983 NBC game show "GO!" by Score Productions Inc., optional to be remade today. Opening: Meet (our returning champion) ________, a ________ from __________! _________, A __________ from _________! And ________, A __________ from ______________! These 3 people will compete today on....T! K! O! And here's the star of our show....CRAIG FERGUSON! Gameplay: 3 contestants, 1 of whom is a returning champion, compete in a game of survival. The first 2 rounds are spent building up the contestants' banks. To do that, they must answer questions correctly based on a category. Questions range from $200-$1,000 in round 1. There are 3 columns of 5 questions and each question has a different category. On the board for each question are 3 sets of initials. The first player to buzz in with the correct initials and full answer wins the value for that question. In each round, there are 2 KNOCKOUT questions. The person who gets the question right wins the money and gets to knock that amount off of one of their opponents' scores. Knockout Game: The goal of this round is to knock your opponents' scores down to zero. Each time you beat your opponents to the buzzer with a right answer, you knock off some money from their score. The amount is determined from a randomizer that ranges from $500-$2,000. Last player standing wins the game, the money they've won plus $5,000 and goes for up to an additional $100,000 in....THE BATTLEFIELD! The Battlefield: This round starts with the champion determining how much he or she will be playing "THE BATTLEFIELD" for, this will happen by way of a new randomizer with values ranging from $25,000-$100,000, the champion will hit the buzzer one more time prior to playing the bonus round to stop this randomizer on one of those big cash prizes and then play for that amount in "THE BATTLEFIELD". In this bonus game, the champion now faces rapid fire trivia questions. Using only a set of initials as a clue to the answer, the champion must give 8 correct answers in 60 seconds to win the big cash prize (anywhere from $25,000-$100,000) that they stopped the bonus round randomizer on. If they don't, they get $1,000 for every right answer. They can pass on a question if they get stuck on it, and there is no penalty for a wrong answer or wrong guess. Regardless of the outcome of the bonus game, the champion gets to come back next show to try again and can continue on the show for a maximum of 5 shows, and can win a brand new car if they win 5 games in a row. |

Here's a very good one I'm sure you will agree with me on! CARD SHARKSHost: Alfonzo Ribero Announcer: Burton Richardson Taping Location: Hollywood Center Studios Network: ABC Timeslot: In Primetime during Summer "Fun & Games" programming Theme Music: The original 1978 theme music for "Card Sharks" hands down. Opening: Aces are high, deuces are low, call them right, and win the dough. OOOOOOOOOOOON "CARD SHARKS"!, And now here is the host of "Card Sharks"...ALFONZOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RIBEROOOO!! Gameplay: This new version of "Card Sharks" pretty much stays the same except for some new things. The show is now a full one hour show. the game is as usual with 2 contestants having to work their way across a game board where 5 cards out of each players own deck of 52 playing cards that are shuffled and cut before the show are dealt out. Also in this version there is no returning champion rule so before each show a coin toss is done, and the player who wins the coin toss has the options to go first in the match and play the upper cards the red cards and leave their opponent to play the lower cards the blue cards, or let their opponent go first and play the red cards on top and take the blue cards on the bottom for his or herself. As before both players will work their way across the board predicting whether each card is higher or lower than the one before it, but before they play the cards they must answer a high or low toss-up question where the answer is a guessed number most questions of which are answers of how many out of 100 people said a certain answer to a survey question. The player who answers first guesses what they think is the correct number and then the other player must guess whether they think the correct number is higher or lower than the first guess. Whoever is correct gets to play their cards first, and by the way each game has up to 5 questions with the 5th question leading to a 5th and final round where "Sudden Death" is played where someone has to win the game on that round's play of the cards. The player who plays his or cards first always gets to decide 1. If they want to play their base card (or first card in the series) of if they don't like it change it. 2. After each correct call of a card decide if they want to continue playing or freeze on the card they just had come up and protect all their successfully turned over cards and move on to the next round. As always, if a player calls the card wrong they lose their cards and go back to the base card and if it happens to the player starting first, their opponent gets the call his or her cards next with the same rules and decisions except they cannot change their base card since they didn't win the question. First player to turn over all of their cards successfully wins the game, in the "Sudden Death" 5th and final round the player who wins the question gets the options to play his or her cards themselves with the option to change their base card if they don't like it or pass control to their opponent who cannot change his or her base card, and that round goes on from there. Since this new version of "Card Sharks" will now be a one hour show, the match between both players will be an unlimited series of games played until a times up signal sounds. The winner of the 1st game gets $1,000, the 2nd game $2,000, the 3rd game $3,000, the 4th game $4,000, and so on. When the times up signal sounds at the end of the match, the final game concludes right then and there, if it concludes before it ends, each player will get and additional $500 for each card they have successfully turned over and then frozen and protected, and then at the end of the match the player who has won the most money wins the match, and then plays the "Money Cards" bonus round which could pay off up to an additional $144,000. The Money Cards: The money the champion won in the hour up to this point is his or hers to keep no matter what happens in this final part of the show. In this round, they get new money to play with where this time they will bet on the cards with that money. 7 cards will be dealt out in this round. The champion will start off with $1,000 in betting money and 3 cards to bet on on the 1st level. When they move up to the 2nd level they get another $1,000 in betting money and another 3 cards to bet with. As before they will be betting whether each card is higher or lower than the one before. On the first 2 levels the winner can bet anywhere from $50 up to everything they have. But after that, there will be one final card at the top of the board called "The Big Bet" where that person must bet anywhere from half of all of their money in the round up to everything they have. It all could add up to as much as $144,000. This new format won't carry over any action into the next episode unlike previous versions including the original version before under different versions of the rules of the game, and again it is a one hour show with no returning champion rule. |

If you were to revive HS, what would you do to make it better? Once again, you can nominate five hosts and put in any ideas you may have for gameplay. But I'm also going to include a blacklist of hosts you would NOT hire to host. And this time, you can even pick an announcer. Here's how I would do it.
The Host List:
5. Chris Jericho- I know he did badly on Downfall but that show was doomed from the start. I think Squares would be good for him and it might even give us an all WWE week as well as good ratings. He's charismatic and can be funny at times if needed.
4. Mike Richards- I know he's doing Divided but im not sure thats a fit for him. I think Squares would do some good for him and the show if he hosted.
3. Kat Dennings- As I said before, we need more female hosts. Kat would be a natural on squares as either host or perma center square. She's funny as hell, hot as hell and can exhibit a wide range of attitudes.
2. Alli Landry- She hasn't been seen since that hidden camera show that GSN used to show late nights. I think she needs another show.
*1. Tom Bergeron- He was a perfect fit for the show and if possible, needs to return.
*=if available since he's doing DWTS still.
Honorable Mention: Erin Andrews- She has had a long career on both DWTS and ESPN I think given the show, she could make it her own or even make her an announcer since the legendary Shadoe Stevens is either dead or retired (not sure which).
Announcer Possibilities:
5. Alli Landry- If not picked as host, she could be a decent announcer
4. Kelly Miyahara (Sports Jeopardy)- Even though I can't stand her and think her voice is terrible, she might fit on HS. Jeopardy isn't something she's good at. She's too amped up while Dan is as calm as hell. That's a huge clash to me.
3. Johnny Gilbert- I know he's on his last legs, but maybe give him one last run on J and HS.
2. Burton Richardson- Not sure he's still active but if he is, why not?
1. George Gray- I know he's busy with Price, but I think he'd be a good fit.
Celebrities. These would rotate out except the center, which would either be Whoopi if Tom returns or if shes not picked to host, Kat Dennings. Kat would be good in either role, to me.
Gameplay. Stays the same except raise the values. 1k for win in first round. 2.5k for win in 2nd. If it goes to a third round, double the value. Best of three rounds. First to win 2 games goes to bonus for a shot at one million dollars.
I now wish to hear your suggestions and ideas.
