My reading of the press release was that the show was purchased by the MNT network o&o's as an affiliate prime access buy, not as a network show. And I agree with TheCWFan...FOX should promote MyNetworkTV more on their network...MNT regularly promotes FOX and FX shows. The Wicked Wicked Games serial is exceptional. quote: Originally posted by robycop3:
I see that My Network is bringing a new (in the USA) game show "Temptations" to its schedule Fall '07. This show is based upon the old gameshow "Sale Of The Century", which had a successful USA run in the '80s. It has been quite a success in the UK & Australia, but of course that doesn't guarantee its success in the USA. (Remember the "Coupling" fiasco?)
Seemsta be a successful game show revival since Ken Jen's run on "Jeopardy". Will this'n be next?
I've gotta wonder if My Network can even last that long. But then Fox could always run it on their REAL network.

Australia's "Temptation" is a very classy show, much like Jeopardy!. I've had the chance to watch several episodes and it's a brilliant remake/update of the Sale of the Century format that keeps just enough of what made the old show work.
However, I worry about how it will be "Americanized" up... since we already HAVE a Jeopardy!, I fear they might try to go another direction.
They will probably replace the questions with Hot Models who hold fun colored Suitcases which contain secret prizes. On another note, I had a great idea for a game show that involves Homeless People who compete for food rewards. I call the show "Meal or No Meal". I'm hoping that MyNetwork TV picks it up as it will singlehandedly save the network.
