ESPN's Two Minute Drill - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hawkee · 10-06-2017, 01:30 AM

In 1999 ESPN gave fans a chance to test their knowledge of sports in Two Minute Drill an awesome sports game show that was created by the same company as Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and was based on the British game show Mastermind. Two Minute Drill became so popular on ESPN that there was even a computer game of it as well. These days it's hard to find a good sports trivia game show on ESPN these days and ESPN should have more sports game shows for people that love sports and game shows all about sports are always a hit

Hi, Bestie! ESPN has been going downhill for years now. Maybe Fox sports could bring this show back. I don't know why there are not more sports game shows. This is a market that is being neglected.

Another game show from ESPN was Stump the Schwab, which is like a sports themed version of "The Chase" Contestants had to beat Howie Schwab who was employed as a Stats guy at ESPN. The show only ran from 2004 to 2006.

I also enjoyed watching "Beg, Borrow and Deal" which is very similar to "The Amazing Race." This aired from 2002-2004.

And "Dream Job" was fun to watch too, as contestants competed to win a job as a SportsCenter Anchor. That show ran for 3 seasons, but in Season 3 it jumped the shark and became a show that just about the NBA and the prize was a NBA analyst. The show aired from 2004-2006.

I wish ESPN would bring all of these shows back, or at least put the re-runs on streaming.
