Let's try this: If you were going to CREATE a TV Game Show, serious or silly, what would be the premise of it?

Asked by JackAdams (6574points) September 1st, 2008

Try to come up with something that has never been done before, and let’s see just how much creativity exists within “The Collective.”

I think it may have been the late/great George Carlin who suggested a game show, where if you lose, the show takes away your house, or your kids. The guy was delightfully insane. R.I.P., George

Once the driver realizes he’s been “had”, everybody will have a good laugh.)

How about a game show called, CELEBRITY STRIP POKER?

As long as the women always lost, it would be a show I would regularly watch…
