I'll wait until it premieres, but at least it's a game. I leave it at that.
Wow. That was fast. Coming This Fall, eh?
Wonder what will happen to the schedule between now and then...
More and more Family FeudOriginally Posted by DialgaChampion
Wow. Honestly, GSN can't be running Family Feud into the ground like this forever. Someday it might get tiring to people. If GSN aired it wisely, it would be more enjoyable for people, though I do like Family Feud a lot, it's fun to play along with, it needs to be cut down someday. Soon, GSN is going to have to get rid of block scheduling and stick to a real schedule. It's just not working out for GSN.

I'll say GSN will cut the block scheduling eventually, but from 7pm-Midnight will still have 2 hours of airtime a nights. The 9:30am slot should be cut. Part of the Sunday 3-6pm slots should be cut, and I'd be happy. All versions of Family Feud air 78 times a week now. I would be happy if it was cut back to about 60 times a week. (about 9 times a weekday; 10 times Saturday, 4 times Sunday.)
Never underestimate the power of Richard Karn.
The blocks will probably be eliminated eventually, but probably in favor of Feud every night (in some amount) in prime time. So I doubt that'll lighten its load.
I have no problem with it airing a couple times in prime time. That's it for me though. Not 5 hours of it.Never underestimate the power of Richard Karn.

they should bring GSN INTERACTIVE Back for family feud and others game show.
Guess they liked the pilot. I put a faux tweet on the blog about the web page...
Looks like GSN liked the pilot for American Bible Challenge hosted by Jeff Foxworthy. The network sets up a "coming this fall" web page for the show.
Well, I'm guessing there will be five one hour pilots. For GSN's sake, I would air them Monday-Friday at 8pm.
I doubt they did five pilots. One is the usual norm, to see how the show runs. If they like the pilot, they don't waste time shooting more of them. They just go into regular episode production.
Now if they don't like the pilot, the show can get stuck in development hell forever. Which wouldn't be a nice place for a Bible show.
If they only produce one pilot, they could air it one weeknight around 8pm, and then air it 2 or 3 more times through the schedule to see if people like the show. But, in a case like this for GSN I would make more than 1 one hour pilot. If they produce five pilots, they can tell through the week if people keep or stop watching the show.
By the way, if you want to read the Hollywood Junket account of the pilot taping, try this link. There were three teams of three contestants, from various religious groups. Of course, Jeff Foxworthy hosted. The gameplay description:
Each round has three multiple choice answers all regarding scriptures in the Bible. During the first two rounds, contestants had to answer weather or not a statement relating to modern laws was also a true law of the Bible. For example, one of the answers forbid the hair to be cut into a Mohawk. This was said to be a true law from the Bible when referring to Egyptians. Each correct answer was worth 25 points.
There is a real-life Pastor, also named as a producer, named Pastor Troy Smit who serves as the Bible authority and recites scriptures to back-up the correct multiple choice answers.
The third round was called "Biblology". This round tested the ancient locations from the Bible. In the forth round, called "Order, Order" contestants had to place Biblical timelines in order. In one challenge, the team of contestants had to put in order the correct timeline of creation that included vegetation, animals, light, sky, man, woman..etc. There are 10 items for each timeline. The team must place the order within 30 seconds. After their choices are checked, they are told how many are wrong and given another 10 seconds to try to make the correct order. Each correct object placed is worth 10 points each.
The fifth round is called "Bible Study". In this round, players must name their Bible leader then they go off-stage to study the given topic for 10 minutes. In this case the topic was "dreams". Once they came back, they had to buzz-in to answer multiple-choice questions. The first five questions were worth 150 points. The last five questions were worth 300 points.
The lowest scored team at the end of this round goes home. But, walks out with $2,500 as a consolation prize for their charity.
Moving-on to the last round, "Final Revelation" there are eight questions that the remaining two teams must answer as many correctly as they can within 60 seconds. The team with the most correct answers wins the game and the grand prize of either $10,000 or $20,000. During the filming, the producers had not yet decided the amount of the prize. Earlier in the show, Foxworthy also mentioned a bonus prize of the following: $100,000, $200,000 that was immediately changed to $250,000. The team with the highest score got a lead-in of 10 extra seconds on the clock. Hopefully they can figure-out the money amounts soon. As for the pilot episode, it clearly didn’t matter. The contestants seemed happy to walk out the something.
I read the article, and this is easily a game show. I can't complain about that. A set of 9 contestants? I thought they would only have 2 teams of three contestants, not 3 teams of 3 contestants. But, so far it seems good and not cheap.
