Oh Jesus, they’ve run out of old shows to reboot and game shows to resurrect, so they’ve turned to arcade games. Merv Griffin Entertainment wants to do a Pac-Man reality series. WHY, oh WHY??? Merv Griffin’s president of TV, Roy Bank said, “(it’s going to be a) big, crazy Wipeout-type event with a lot of energy…The idea we have is to take what Pac-Man is and bring it to life, to bring what is essentially the world’s biggest game of tag to television.”

So basically they’re trying to do Survivor meets Wipe-Out. Sounds fun if it weren’t titled Pac-Man. I love Ms. Pac-Man (better than Pac-Man) the arcade game, but leave it where it belongs, in the arcade, not my television! It just brings such a cheese factor to TV. And what if they make the cast members all wear yellow? It’s making me throw up in my mouth just thinking about it.

I bet this thing will never launch. I could be wrong, but it all just sounds LAME.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    I love Wipeout too! Like big time, but I just don’t like the idea of Pac-Man

    Winter Wipeout is awesome. It’s a cheerfully sadistic cross between an obstacle course and a carnival. PAC-Man…I can’t get excited.

    What, no more Brittish reality tv programs to rip-off? So they resort to this. I don’t know why they couldn’t just do a rip-off of Love Me Love My Doll. After Hoarders, Intervention, the Bachelor and any reality show on VH1 we are clearly ready for this. Will he or won’t he give up the 10,000 dollar doll for the company of strippers and/or paid escorts? And which is cheaper. Waaaay better idea than Pac-Man come to life. WTF man?
