Rumor Control: ABC Picks Up International Dating Show “Take Me Out” for Pilot
Can't completely confirm yet but this is all but positive right now. It looks like ABC has picked up the internationally successful dating game show Take Me Out. The show has been seen in England on ITV and around the world but it's currently showing new episodes on RTL in the Netherlands. Learn about their version here. They are currently looking for women to appear on the show. If you are interested click here. If you get selected you get $275 plus a trip to Amsterdam so you can't lose. The real sign that this is Take Me Out is that the listing says it's a Fremantle show, which this is, and that they are taping in Amsterdam where they have the set up and running currently. Can't imagine it's not it. It's a pretty straight forward dating show with a twist. Read on for full details about the show and a clip of the British version.

Cartoon Network’s “Hole in the Wall” Now Casting
It's time to face the hole...again. The popular Japanese game segment Hole in the Wall is back in America and this time it's going to Cartoon Network. The network recently ordered ten half-hour episodes. The show is turning from Fox's all-adult version which came and went quickly to a new family version, pairing up kids and adults together. It should work much better like this. Hole in the Wall is currently casting. Teams of three can compete and they need to all be connected in some way, shape, or form (like family members, teams, classes, etc). There must be at least one kid who is at least 12 years old and at least one adult over the age of 18. If you want to be considered visit Hole in the Wall's casting page by clicking here. After the break is even more information and a casting video provided to us by producers.

“Fifth Grader” Adds Celebrity Shows; “Baggage” Needs an Audience
Two small audience notices for you this morning. Hey, GSN's listening to one of the few complaints we had about their hit dating show Baggage. The show was incredibly quiet and needed the audience to make some noise and laugh at the contestants to really drive the point of the show home. Jerry Springer, the host, really needed something to play off of also. He's incredibly talented and a huge showman. Luckily GSN is adding an audience for the second season of the show. Also, Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader has been taping its second season which comes out in September. Country bands and popular personalities will appear this season.

“Pyramid” And Fall 2010 Shows Need Audiences
The Fall 2010 television season isn't too far away and some of your favorite game shows, including new comers, need an audience. These are mostly all Los Angeles based so if you're in that area you're in luck. The news most people are waiting for (and quite a few apparently on verge of a nervous break down to hear about given the comments everywhere) is Pyramid. The audience notice is out now, and you can get tickets here. As we reported a few days ago by us the taping will be for an hour-long show. I just want to make sure to warn those foaming at the mouth...the show hasn't been picked up yet. It's just a pilot. Don't jump to giant conclusions. I heard from multiple people a big reason the last pilot didn't sell was the tone was incredibly different from The Price is Right and they wanted something that was more of a companion show. I don't know what they are specifically looking for this time.
