Other poster: GSN is already promoting the show, even though a premiere date is not set up yet.
Guess they liked the pilot. I put a faux tweet on the blog about the web page.
Other poster: Well, I'm guessing there will be five one hour pilots. For GSN's sake, I would air them Monday-Friday at 8pm.
I doubt they did five pilots. One is the usual norm, to see how the show runs. If they like the pilot, they don't waste time shooting more of them. They just go into regular episode production. Now if they don't like the pilot, the show can get stuck in development hell forever. Which wouldn't be a nice place for a Bible show.
By the way, if you want to read the Hollywood Junket account of the pilot taping, try this link. There were three teams of three contestants, from various religious groups. Of course, Jeff Foxworthy hosted. The gameplay description...[several rounds of Bible questions, with a genuine pastor as the judge.]
Another poster: This game show sounds like an interesting one. I'll try it out. Sounds like a decent show finally.
My only issue is the extremely specialized nature of the quizzer. Will people who don't have much interest in religion or the Bible bother with the show? Oh well, it may be a good fit for GSN's audience.
UPDATE: Now GSN says the show is "coming this summer." Guess they really liked the pilot.
