You know I always hated grade school. I hated it so much that I actually took solace in being sick because that would at least mean I could skip going to school for a day. Being sick in grade school usually meant time on the couch resting with the comfort of game shows to distract my suffering.
From “The Price is Right” to “Press Your Luck” I was always ready to shout, “Let’s Make a Deal!” I enjoyed the innuendos of “Hollywood Squares” and I am old enough to know the sound of a gong is the original, “It’s a ‘no’ for me, dawg,” and “For that reason, I’m out.”
The Main Assignment is to create at least one pilot for a new game show. One of mine will be “Destination Wedding Dash”.
