Game show ideas.

Two words:
Russian Roulette

What are yours? Here's mine:

Concept:
The production company takes all the assets of a married couple that want a divorce, and puts said assets on a podium. Each spouse then competes for a bigger share. There could be rounds based on alimony and child support too. Heck, even the kids.

Atmosphere:
Frenetic, noisy, and stressful.

They have a show called that, they don't use a gun.

their are six circle on the floor in a circle like a gun. Each person playing stands on a circle. I forget how thinks go, but you have to anwser questions, the circles on the floor light up to create the effect of them spinning. When you lose the circle your standing on opens and you fall through.

Destroy the world

The leaders of all nations with nuclear weapons stand in a circle. Their nukes are directed at targets all over the world, and controlled by the game computer. They have to answer trivia questions, one after the other, in an endless circle. As soon as one faiils to answer the question right within 20 seconds the computer sends the nukes on their way. Game over.

It's a rough draft, but promising I think.

Flawed concept , the show wouldn't last a minute , no matter how stupid the questions are. GW Bush would make it end in record time.

I think I got something suitable for the americans... the Sue Everyone show ! After briefly introducing themselves , the participants will have to find a valid reason to sue opponents they have never met before , and win the trial. The action would take place in a large court , with lawyers on amphetamines and weed smoking judges to spice up things.

how about a show where you spin a wheel with dollar amounts on it, after you spin you then pick a letter and try to solve a word on a board, if you guess the letter some lady reveals it, if you don't then your turn is over, also you can buy vowels
maybe like 3 people can play and you win cash prizes

Nah, I don't think that would go anywhere...

For PPV, put a starved shark in a hotel pool, and then get a bunch of homeless guys and gals together and put them in the pool and the last person who leaves the pool gets $10,000. Before this, you build up each character and they reveal bits about their lives and how they ended up in such dire straits that they're willing to risk death for $10,000. You could also take this gang and put them in a house, Real World style, with limited supplies of food, water and drugs (heavy on the drugs, though) and the last one to leave wins.

That's a nice development of Bum Fights, bringing it into the mainstream. The story angle also gives viewers a glimpse of how they could get on TV. Wonderful.

How about landscaping twelve square miles of countryside into the shape of America, including scale "mountain ranges" and "lakes", surrounding it with water and populating it with 50 armed Republicans and 50 armed Democrats. Each party then has to attempt to take their own country by force. It could be called "Campaign".

(Come to think of it, it could be a mod).

sounds like that old game "north vs. south"

"Reduce"? I thought childish, reactive and combative behaviour was the aspiration of party politics.

My classy entertainment show would contain nerds!
There would be 6 contestants who are overly nerdish, geekish and what not. Each one is seperated from the audience through a thing layer of semi translucent paper and barbed wire. The audience contains of mostly iliterated and violent alcoholics with a good portion of grief for anything smarter than a carrot.
However, the 6 nerds have to answer trivia from various subjects, physics, maths, computer etc. with. With each wrong answer they lose some anonymity. There should also be different difficulty levels. If you've lost your entire anonymity the barbed wire will be raised and a few pople from the audience are allowed to crush through the paper wall.
The more questions you've answered the bigger the mob that is allowed to enter your cabin on failure.

The Alcoholic Olympics

Events include :

The Irish Obstacle Course : An obstacle course with hundreds of handy pints of Guinness lying around. The person who has the highest blood-alcohol level when they complete the course wins!

The "Shot" Put : Throw a shotglass as far as you can. For every meter you throw it the opponent must drink one shot of vodka...last one standing wins.

Swimming : All the normal events, but using overproof rum instead of water. Even if you don't swallow any, the fumes will get you...

"Shooting" : A simple race to down 20 shooters. But livened up by the fact that every player has a BB gun with which to sabotage their opponents drinking efforts...

The Tug O' Beer : A keg of beer is placed in the center of the pitch with two ropes tied to it. Each team must take one rope and attempt to get the keg into their zone, drink it as fast as possible, then repeat...the winning team is the first to be medically declared as suffering from alcohol poisoning.

The Man's Drink : The thinking man's event. Players are provided with the contents of the average bar and challanged to come up with the ultimate "man's drink". The winner is the drink which causes vomiting in volenteers at the lowest levels of consumption. True masters can craft mixes so revolting, the volenteers vomit even before tasting it.

The 100m Liver Dash : The winner of this final event gets a free liver transplant. Essential to win if you want to survive the Olympics.

How 'bout a show called, Whose Hair is That?

People are shown pictures of hair from some part of the body from famous, nude, celebrity women.

Works for me!
