Quarterly Earnings Report - September 2023
WELCOME BACK EVERYBODY!
It’s been a while since I have been able to talk about NEW GAME SHOWS, and decided to compile all these mini reviews up and put them in this FAST PACED (and nearly two hours long) EPISODE
Takeshi’s Castle - Available on Amazon
A reboot of the 1980s Japanese Classic, Hundreds of contestants (and Chiitan) try and tackle classic slapstick physical challenges, and modern variants of fan favorites. Featuring a “AI” Head of Beat Takeshi.
Person Place or Thing - Available on Tubi
A Daytime Game Show on FOX, hosted by Melissa Peterman, contestants have to ask the right questions to get to the proper nouns in this comfortable guessing game.
Who the Bleep is That? - Available on TMZ’s YouTube Channel

Buddy Games - Available on Paramount Plus
Based on the comedy movie with Josh Dumell, Josh Dumell let's people go to Summer Camp to win $200,000. No word on if there was a paintball injury that lost somebody's testicles and that destroyed a marriage.
Picture Slam - Available on BBC iPlayer
Following a game trend of “flash card quiz” (see : hot hands from Ellen's Game of Games, “In With a Shout” or “The Floor” coming soon). Teams of two see a photo of a banana. And then have to say “that's a banana.”
The Devil’s Plan - Available on Netflix
From the creators of the cult classic reality series “The Genius Game”. Korean experts compete against each other to win puzzle pieces in main matches, and then work together as a team in prize matches, while avoiding elimination at any time by losing their pieces in the same competitions. “The Traitors”, but only for two episodes, followed by a board game, or a game that requires social engineering.
Snake Oil - Available on Hulu
Hosted by David Spade, teams of two (a civilian and celebrity) compete to determine between pairs of items, which one was created by the art department of the show to fool them, and which ones are actual products that somebody spent way too much money and time on, only for contestants to think “this is a dumb product”. But as a bonus, you get improv actors playing businessmen and sketch actors doing infomercials of various levels of quality.
AND AS ALWAYS…
If you want to support the show, there is a Patreon available. that features some updates, but serves as a Tip Jar.
