There’s nothing in Pong to attach a game show component to. It’s nostalgia for the sake of nostalgia, like making movies based on Battleship or the arcade game Rampage. It blatantly shows just how empty and uncreative people in Hollywood are. Plus, they’re immediately alienating millennials by crafting the main theme of your show after something that YouTube tells them is lame.
Even during the heyday of game shows, not very many pilot shows made it to air. I cannot see this one going into production, unless it’s dirt cheap to make and it’s for the Game Show Network. Is that network even around anymore, or have they rebranded themselves to something more mainstream since network executives can’t stand the thought of filling a niche and being comfortable there?
