Beginning in Fall 2002, PAX TV has slated two Goodson game show revivals, "Beat the Clock" and "Family Feud" to air on the network, joining the hits "Supermarket Sweep" and "Shop Till You Drop." I have heard two reports about "Family Feud", one being that the new Richard Karn version would air on the network (similar to the way "Weakest Link" airs on NBC and PAX). The other version I've heard was that the Louie Anderson reruns would be picked up and a new version would be produced for PAX as well. I'm tending to believe that Louie's reruns will be picked up as well as Richard Karn's version.
NEW GAME SHOWS
Beat the Clock - Weeknights, 5:30 - 6:00 PM and
6:30 - 7:00 PM, ET/PT
Hosted by funny man Gary Kroger, this new version of TV's classic ask contestants to complete unusual tasks within a limited amount of time. Rather than requiring brainpower or muscle power, the assignments frequently reward physical dexterity, lack of inhibition and plain old luck. Contestants who succeeded in beating the clock win cash and prizes, and became eligible for the bonus rounds. The series is produced by FremantleMedia Inc.
Family Feud - Weeknights, 7:30 - 8:00 PM, ET/PT
Two families - or celebrities playing for charity - compete against each other for cash prizes by matching answers to the results of an audience survey of 100 people. From FremantleMedia Inc.
RETURNING GAME SHOWS
Supermarket Sweep - Weeknights, 6:00 PM, ET/PT
Hold on to your shopping carts... "Supermarket Sweep," the fun-packed family game show pits husbands and wives, mothers and daughters or pairs of friends against each other and the clock to see who will take home the goods. Hosted by David Ruprecht and produced by Al Howard Productions, it's a game anyone can play, but only the best shoppers among us can win.
Shop `Til You Drop - Weeknights, 7:00 PM, ET/PT
"Shop `Til You Drop" is classic TV game show fun with newly produced shows for PAX, combining physical stunts, puzzles, pricing games and trivia questions in a fast-paced, audience play-along format. If the merchandise contestants accumulate adds up to more than $2,500, the lucky pair wins a fantastic dream vacation. Hosted by Pat Finn, the series is produced by Stone Stanley Productions.
Also, PAX is reported to air "Weakest Link" on Fridays for the 2002-03 season:
Weakest Link -Friday, 10:00 - 11:00 PM, ET/PT
Hosted by the tart-tongued Anne Robinson, Weakest Link is a highly competitive game in which a group of eight contestants are quizzed on general knowledge. The competition takes a sharp turn at the end of each round when one of the contestants is deemed "the weakest link" and voted off the show.
