NBC's Rip Off Of 'The Price Is Right' to Air This Summer - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The network is hoping to use the off-season to try to establish some new reality and game franchises — not a bad idea considering the fact that The Biggest Loser and Celebrity Apprentice aren't getting any younger, while Minute to Win It has been run into the ground with repeated airings. So NBC is moving forward with game shows It's Worth What? and the tentatively titled Still Standing (no relation to the late CBS comedy). The former quizzer will star Cedric the Entertainer guiding contestants as they compete to figure out if the price is right for various household items; the latter is based on an Israeli format and has players trying to answer trivia questions in order to avoid being dropped through a trap door beneath them. There's no premiere date for either yet.

That one It's Worth What?sounds promising,and sounds like a 1960's NBC game show "Say When"(1961-1965-remember this one?)with the late Art James as host .As for "Still Standing",(or whatever it's to be called)it sounds kind of ominous as well as dangerous,and sounds like a short-lived NBC 1966 game show called "Showdown".
