Looks like Fox's loss is CBS's gain! CBS has apparently picked up the British game show The Cube, and is flying Neil Patrick Harris out to London to host the show. According to Josef Adalian at The Wrap, NPH will tape a pilot, and then CBS will decide what to do with it.
This is excellent news - The Cube is a really fun game, and Neil Patrick Harris would make a terrific host. I really can't imagine a better combination. The only thing that might throw a wrench in these plans is NBC's upcoming Minute to Win It, which is pretty much a replica of The Cube. If NBC's version struggles, that might make CBS reconsider. On the other hand, if Minute does really well, will CBS want to put basically the same format on in prime time? Hard to tell, and it's really all speculation at this point.
Keep your fingers crossed, either way. This is a winning combination, and I really hope the show makes it to our television screens!
