“Minute to Win It” Picture Gallery

We’re getting pretty close to the debut of the newest primetime game show.  NBC’s Minute to Win It will be starting March 14th from 7:00PM ET to 9:00PM ET.  It’s been promoted pretty well during the Olympics, so I can see it getting a pretty decent turnout on the first episode at least.  NBC released pictures of game play and the set today.  The gallery is below.  How do you make an audience seem larger?  Get a giant video monitor at the top of the set, behind the audience, and put a picture of the audience section up there.  At least it’s better than The Moment of Truth using blow up dolls for audience members sometimes.  Also, some of these games are direct copies of The Cube, just using a timer instead of a number of tries, which basically makes the game boil down to luck.  We’ll have video in the next few days.  Despite some objections, though, it does look interesting and I’d be sure to check out the debut episode if for no other reason than to keep networks putting primetime games in.

    Is just me or does the “Minute to Win It” set look a lot like Deal or No Deal’s or “Set for Life’s” ? Hopefully the show will spark some more primtime network game shows. Any word about when the summer schedules will be released by networks?

    It’s probably because Endemol also produces this.

    See it's totally different than the Cube! They're not even in a cube. They're in a cylinder. Big difference guys.

    Leave it to the Dutch and the British to give us game shows with sets that look like "+i++y bars" (some with) with flat-panel monitors in place of poles; some with fake tension; others that are gratuitously contrived; nearly all of them take on extreme variations of our own classic games from TV's distant past. Well crafted, indeed!

    I won't be watching…it's a Cube ripoff and they can deny it all they want. Screw NBC and screw this show.

    Endemol did not do this show.

  • Elisa V.A. says:

    It's an entirely different show with a different premise and different name. How does that make it a rip-off? Come on people, it looks good, why not at least give it a shot before you start ripping it apart. I've heard it's actually pretty good…

    Entirely different? Not really.

    I'm glad NBC told you to say that.
