Seems like the networks are on a game show-buying frenzy. NBC has Perfect 10 coming up, and now comes word that FOX will bring the British game show The Cube to America. If you've never seen the show, the object is to bring an ice cube from one city to the next before it melts and if you do you win $1 million.
Well, no. Here's the actual game.

I'll definitely be giving this one a shot and hoping they don't dumb it down too much.
It's got a lot more potential than Perfect 10, at least as far as I'm concerned.

Why are you giving networks more ideas for awful reality series?! I'll bet you $5 ABC's going to send "The ICE Cube" into production next month cause of you, lol
That said, The Cube is a fairly good show to me, will definitely give the American one a try.

That's funny, I remember recently reading a tvsquad article on the show begging America to take it and not alter anything. I just read it again today and then I see this post. :)

This looks decent; although I hope it doesn't turn into another "this game show is for me to tell my life story and turn into a reality star". I can't stand shows like Deal or No Deal where the contestant spends more time talking about themself and their 'strategy' then they do actually playing the game.
