omar316 39 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 02-20-04, 02:03 AM (EST) "BREAKING NEWS ABC's The Mole Becomes a Free Agent" (sorry hosts for posting in both boards- did this incase anyone was gonna watch the repeats and didnt want to visit the other board) The mole is officially a free agent!! I am shocked, maybe a superior network like CBS can pick it up, bring back the regular edition, actually advertise it and it will be HUGE. Here is article: ABC's The Mole Becomes a Free Agent Source: Variety Friday, February 20, 2004 ABC reality game show The Mole is now a free agent, says Variety. When the network's option to produce more episodes of the series came up recently, ABC told producers it wasn't ready to commit to more "Mole" just yet, and let its option expire. The Stone Stanley Entertainment-produced game just wrapped its fourth cycle on ABC (the last two featured celebrities) once again scoring solid ratings. Celebrity Mole: Yukatan ranked first in adults 18-34 (tied with Law & Order) and improved ABC's 10 p.m. Wednesday average by a hefty 43%. Stone Stanley execs and their reps at WMAWMA are meeting with other broadcast outlets, shopping the show as a reliable adults 18-34 magnet. One executive was surprised to hear it's on the market. Given ABC's lack of major hits, "you'd think they'd be treating that show like it was 'Dynasty,'" Site:http://www.comingsoon.net/news.php?id=3573 The article says the source is Variety- which is reputable and just to make sure I checked on Variety's site to confirm and it did in fact have the article there. located here:http://www.variety.com/index.asp?layout=upsell_article&articleID=VR1117900460&cs=1   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"Your only warning" LAST EDITED ON 02-20-04 AT 08:48 AM (EST) Just in case you don't bother checking the same thread you started on the other forum. I don't care if you apologize after the fact, posting the same message on multiple forums is a violation of the guidelines. Do it again, and you will be banned. It is obvious from the "apology" you posted both times that you know better. We have better things to do than clean up after you.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I'm really worried that no other channel will pick the show up, or it will end up on UPN. I think it would be good if NBC to go after it. After the recent success of The Apprentice and Fear Factor doing well, I could see NBC looking at another reality show. Maybe as a possible way to boost young viewership.

awolvesfan 3 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 02-21-04, 01:35 PM (EST) 9. "RE: BREAKING NEWS ABC's The Mole Becomes a Free Agent" There is no way with the lack of programming that draws any kind of ratings numbers that this show will stay off the air for long. NBC is losing Friends and Frasier, the WB is losing Angel, I'll bet next year will be ER's last year. This show did extremely well with the under 40 crowd. Networks will be clammoring to get this show. IMO they do have a regular Mole series with average people and a Celebrity one as I enjoyed Stephen Balwin and Corbin Bernsen.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 55194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-21-04, 03:01 PM (EST) 10. "RE: BREAKING NEWS ABC's The Mole Becomes a Free Agent" I'd think GSN and the (as yet unformed) new reality channel would take a look at it, with GSN placing the first bid: they've already got ahold of the reruns, and with their slow slant towards bringing in the old competition-based reality shows, having an original of their own wouldn't hurt. It might even send them back to normal contestants: given that new editions would be on cable, how many D-listers would want a 1.2 Neilsen's worth of exposure in exchange for their participation? Then again, this can't be the least expensive series to produce -- at least, not with the first two editions, which at least had to rack up some formidable airfare charges. A cable network might be tempted to ground it in one location and put together some very cheap-to-execute games. Think Double Dare with your father out to trip you. I just hope that: A. It lands somewhere. B. 'Somewhere' is not FOX.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"NBC - Doubtful" With them just paying $2 million an episode for The Contender I think they have their fill or reality TV. http://www.realitynewsonline.com/cgi-bin/ae.pl?mode=1&article=article4139.art&page=1 "How 'bout a birdy?

"RE: BREAKING NEWS ABC's The Mole Becomes a Free Agent" I just hope someone picks it up and they go back to doing the original game with regular players. I agree 100% -- sad thing, I fear, is that someplace like FOX will pick it up and we'll end up with the All-Silicon Boobs version (and in keeping up with the mental abilities, the "hidden" clue will be a billboard in the background, featuring a topless (pixelated, post-Janet ) bimbette with "MOLE" superimposed over her lower-body 'naughty bits'). And the host will be Rush Limbaugh. sigpic a GeorgiaBelle creation MMIV   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

silentJ 336 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 03-01-04, 07:31 PM (EST) 12. "RE: BREAKING NEWS ABC's The Mole Becomes a Free Agent" But the show will still be produced bt Stone Stanley. I doubt they'd change the format too much. This is a cerebral game. If Fox forces them to use players that think cerebral is a breakfast food, it will tank. They have to keep it ""for it to work.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: BREAKING NEWS ABC's The Mole Becomes a Free Agent" >I just hope someone picks it >up and they go back >to doing the original game >with regular players. Yes. Please let another network pick up this smart reality show. Also put back regular contestants. And make the season longer. The show gets very good young adult rating. I don't understand why ABC didn't nurture this show better.

"RE: BREAKING NEWS ABC's The Mole Becomes a Free Agent" I think the Mole is too sophisticated for viewers, which is why it never got terrific ratings when it is obviously one of the top reality shows. Hopefully we will see it someday again. ---------------------------------------------------------------- free Photo iPod Guide   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

SurvivorBlows 15230 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-08-04, 06:47 PM (EST) 14. "RE: reality central?" I was told first-hand from a senior RealityCentral person just last week that they had no interest in The Mole's repeat rights that were nabbed by GSN, so I really doubt they have any interest in paying the costs for new first-run editions -- as it is RealityCentral plans only one real reality show of their own -- a documentary about the starting of the network. The rest of the lineup will initially be repeats of previous US and overseas series, a daily news show, and a "where are they now" type series.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
