BCI Signs Deal with Fremantle
BCI, who created the “Match Game” DVD set, has announced they made a five year deal with Fremantle to create new game show DVDs. Sadly, nothing is known right now. However, BCI did state more information will be released at NATPE in January. So, in review, here is a new update of events.
January 12th- Television Critics Association (We’ll hear GSN’s announcements plus other network’s things)
January 16th- NATPE
I think that with Bob Barker retiring, I think that they should show some of the best Price is Right epiosodes including all the $1,000,000 spectaculars. I’m also in favor making all the seasons of “Win Ben Stein’s Money”.
Id take all the seasons of Card Sharks except that 2001 revival. Password Plus (both Ludden and Kennedy’s Version) Super Password, Lingo, Deal Or No Deal my favorite show, 21 with Maury Povich, Greed, Sale of the century with Jim Perry, Scrabble, Family Feud, The Price Is Right.
They will have to do a better job with the liner notes. Match Game repeated the same listing for three shows in a row appearing on the disc. There is also no rhyme or reason to the order of them. Still, nice to see that any company would fill a niche like this.
I’m not as concerned about the poor proofreading, but the fact that the Match Game DVD has a defective 4th disk is inexcusable. I have heard that this problem affected a large number of disks that were released across the country. Now if you’ll excuse me, I am going to unbolt my ’06 sign and screw in the ’07 one.
