So there's gonna be some new show, a blatant ripoff of Clue (both the boardgame and movie) with obvoius scripted and manipulated "reality," which puts a dozen or so people in a house or other setting and they have to figure out who the 'murderer' is before they get 'killed' themselves, or some ridiculous crap like that.  My how the quality of prime time television just keeps getting lower and lower.

What if a psychopath got into the cast of one of these shows and started killing everybody?

(Blood & screams fly everywhere as John Doe (the psychopath) slashes up the host, cast, & crew)

Control Booth Tech 1:  "Are you getting that, Frank?"
 
Frank, the cameraman:  "Holy %&#$!  He's hacking them up!"
 
CBT1:  "Keep rolling, Frank!  This is ratings gold!"
 
Frank:  "Hell no!  I'm getting out of here!  Oh no!  He's coming toward me!"  (strangling gurgle of blood)
 
CBT1:  "Frank?  Frank?!"
 
(The sound of the doorknob to the control booth being jiggled)
 
CBT2:  "Uh oh..."

Did you know that there was a short-lived game show by that name in 1979 on NBC? Ed McMahon was the host.

This reminds me of a Fox show called MURDER IN SMALL TOWN X back in 2000-1.

Now I'm curious, what was that show about?

Don't quite know how to explain it, outside of this 1979 NBC promo for Whodunnit? and Highcliffe Manor. I think this was for the premiere episode.

Thanks for that, it looks pretty entertaining compared to reality garbage nowadays.

You're very welcome! I only wish we could see more of it outside of that promo.

From the few minutes I've seen of this viewstrocity, I found that none of the people are particularly likeable, and the whole thing smells "scripted"....
