Loree 8616 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-07-05, 02:17 PM (EST) "Treasure Hunt" AMAZING RIP-OFF?: What do you get when you cross Amazing Race with a good old-fashioned scavenger hunt? NBC's latest reality gamble. According to Variety, the Peacock network has greenlit Treasure Hunters, a 10-episode series in which teams embark on a global quest to solve an intricate puzzle — like, who should take the fall for LAX? I still wish someone would just pick up The Mole. That was a great show (I mean the original, not the Celebrity version). But instead they keep trying to do new shows.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

So until someone pries him off of CNN, there will be no Mole.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Treasure Hunt" Anderson has said that he hated doing The Mole, so there's no hope of him hosting it again. Spring sig pic by Arkiegrl! Bouncing starfish by Ice Cat! He has a real job now.

Loree 8616 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-07-05, 11:28 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Treasure Hunters" NBC SEEKS ‘TREASURE HUNTERS’ FOR NEW UNSCRIPTED QUEST SERIES THAT FEATURES TEAMS OF COMPETITORS WHO WILL USE FOLKLORE, FANTASY AND ACTUAL HISTORY TO SOLVE COMPLEX PUZZLE BURBANK, Calif. -– April 6, 2005 -– NBC is currently casting for its unscripted "Treasure Hunters" -- the new, quest-oriented series that features multi-player teams to be sent on a global search to solve a puzzle -- and the first team to uncover all the clues will be given the location of a hidden treasure. "Treasure Hunters" will focus on the solving of the puzzle instead of the race itself. Those interested in auditioning for "Treasure Hunters" can apply online by visiting the "Contestants" page at www.nbc.com, which also lists location dates and times for casting calls. There will be open calls in Tampa/Orlando, Nashville, Dallas/Austin, Washington D.C., New York City, Denver, Chicago and Boston. "Treasure Hunters" is produced by NBC Universal Television Studio in association with Magical Elves Productions, Imagine Television and Madison Road Entertainment. Dan Cutforth, Jane Lipsitz, Brian Grazer, David Nevins, Tom Mazza, Danica Krislovich and Jak Severson serve as executive producers.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

letty 1 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 04-13-05, 07:46 AM (EST) 4. "RE: Treasure Hunt" Oh it's a rip off alright. Just not of TAR ... I's funny that nbc is touting this a new show.. and it's weird that there are seven exec producers. it's weird because a year ago someone told me about this great idea for a reality tv contest they had that would cross the globe, seeking a hidden treasure, using clues and ancient legends. He didn't find any takers for the show at that time and now a year later it pops up with nbc and seven executive producers and no writer/ creator credit. Reality TV is so not real and so about budgets and audiences that quite frankly it's put me off the genre all together, and this last item definitely makes me not want to watch shows were the creators don't get the credit! In my book that's called stealing and stealing is sooo NOT cool. I mean when you write something, do you best to sell it, pitch it to a lot of people and they tell you " too expensive to produce" it is really unethical for them or others like them to then wait a while and then drag it back out and produce it figuring they're home free simply because they have a big name/ are a studio. It's so bad that they didn't even bother to change the d*** name of the show. the one my friend wrote and registered was/ is called TREASURE HUNTER and the one NBC is now doing is called TREASURE HUNTERS - gee golly go whiz there's a simple 's' added on, wow, how incredible!! It must have taken them so LONG to decide to do that! (when you think that if I went out and did a TV channel called NBCS using there content and not attributing it to them I be dragged in court before i had time to take another breath). Anyway, I actually yelled at the friend in question for not yet having a lwayer and pursuing the heck out of these people - it doesn't matter that they're big and huge, they have no right to take others people's talent and use it for their own benefit and profit feeling that nothing will happen to them. He answered that he'd tried but the three large firms in LA that he'd contacted had told him there was a conflict of interest... How many lawyers and firms does NBC need anyway? apparently a LOT, or enough that no one wants to touch his case with a ten foot pole. After all the news in the last year about shows being copycats you'd think they be more careful. But maybe because we continue watching these shows and filling their pockets with profits they feel that they immune from ethics and maybe even the LAW. It just makes me sick.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

silentJ 336 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 06-15-06, 11:49 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Treasure Hunt" The law is on there side. If you pitch an idea, it becomes fair game after a certain amount of time. They just have to hope nobody else picks it up in the long run. I had a college proffessor that said he pitched a show in the 70's, they passed, but it showed up on the fall lineup 2 years later. He tried to sue, but was told they were well within their rights. The whole thing was mute though, the show died by midseason.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Cygnus X1 7505 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-26-05, 02:14 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Treasure Hunt" At first, I thought you were talking about a revival of that old 70s Chuck Barris game show with all the boxes, hosted by Geoff Edwards. And men were never selected as contestants.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
