So, this is a real thing that is happening in our world:
The CW is developing unscripted format “Extreme Musical Chairs” from the Gurin Co. and 405 Prods.
Series would transform the popular children’s game into a physically demanding competition with multiple rounds of elimination set in an indoor obstacle course. [Variety]
Brilliant work, Hollywood. Take the rest of the day off. But when you come back tomorrow, I expect full crayon mock-ups for “Extreme Heads Up Seven Up,” “Can You Jump Rope Better Than a 5th Grader?” and “Pin the Tail on the Actual Donkey.”

If instead of chairs it was midgets sitting on fat people it would break TLC ratings records
Red Rover was too expensive for the CW.
Red light! Green light! One-two-THE EXXXTREME! OH-WAH-AH-AH-AH!!
If that picture is any indication, this show will be huge with dirty hippies (I know “dirty hippies” is redundant.)
CW Executive 1: Duck Duck Goose
CW Executive 2: Nope.
CW Executive 1: Kick the can
CW Executive 2: Nope.
CW Executive 1: Musical Chairs
CW Executive 2: Fucking brilliant! Lets do some lines.
Ring around the rosey.
Pocket full of posey.
Ashes. Ashes.
We all LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR! LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR!
Serusly, wasn’t this one of DG’s show ideas?
Next on the CW: EXTREME M.A.S.H. Will he end up in a Mansion, Apartment, Shack or House? Stay tuned after Extreme Hopscotch to find out!
I don’t know, Chazz — full-contact Duck Duck Goose would make a fine show. I can see it now: “DDG Extreme”, hosted by the guys who host Wipeout.
@MC
Fair enough- but how do you plan against the age-old DDG strategy of make the fat-kid the goose?
Also the guys who do wipeout are solidy funny giving what they’re working out with and if my gym was actually a wipeout course I’d be fucking ripped by now. That shit looks fun as hell.
I hear FOX is looking for a lead in for the X factor with “SIMON SAYS”, starring Simon! (wait for it) LeBon! (I hear he’s looking for work)
Having spent all my summers growing up on a cattle ranch, I would watch the shit out of D-listers try to pin tails on actual donkeys. Gif comedy gold, Jerry.
@chazz – I’m thinking the “extreme” portion of DDG would be American Gladiators-type obstacles. So not only do you have to run around the circle faster than the goose, but you have to dodge tennis balls being shot at you by some guy on an elevated platform. And they could have trap-doors on the course: Better not run too fast or you plunge into a whole and automatically are DQed, but if you run too slow, the goose could get you. I don’t know, I’m just spit-balling here….
