Back to the flea market?

Last year stories appeared about a GSN pilot based on flea market shopping. Yep, sounded weird to me, too. The cutesy-pie title for the pilot - Fleaflip - didn't help, either.

Now BuzzerBlog's Alex Davis, ever alert to realitywanted.com casting calls, has spotted this item for "charismatic appraisers that are ready to become a cast member of a brand new NBC game show." He thinks this may be the same pilot that GSN passed on.

That's certainly a possibility, as cautious actuaries tend to say. Maybe an interesting show could grow from haggling at flea markets and junk shops around the nation. Who woulda thunk that hangman plus a big wheel could work? But shopping shows are not my very best fave, though I like the testy bargaining on Pawn Stars.

Not so coincidentally, the casting call mentions that little History Channel show with the squabbling pawnbrokers. NBC could use the ratings.

UPDATE: The show is definitely on for the summer. The title is It's Worth What?, the host is Cedric the Entertainer (or Cedric Antonio Kyles, according to Wikipedia), and the flea markets look to be gone. Contestants price items in a bunch of rounds leading (they hope) to a million bucks. Also on the schedule for NBC's summer is the previously announced Still Standing, the drop-through-holes quizzer. No word yet on times or dates for either show.
