BuzzerBlog: Rumor Control: GSN Picks Up "Camouflage"?

  • Zach · 2 years ago
    Wasn't there an old game show with the same name that involved hidden objects in pictures? I think it was on in the sixty's and Chuck Barris did a revival in 1980 before he left the country.

    Thats right. Isn't this an a la "That's The Question?"

    Please tell me I'm not the only one that didn't get that example.

    Hold up, I thought this was going to be based on the picture game.

    More like an a la Now You See It.

    From the example, it looks like the words are hidden in order, left to right, but extra letters are inserted before, after and between the letters in the answer to disguise it. So the example STORYSUMPLATE could get these clues:

    a. "The Donald"'s last name
    b. An illicit meeting between lovers
    c. Minestrone or gazpacho
    d. If you break it, you're cheating
    e. An animal finds one to start a family

    The answer to a. appears here: sToRysUMPlate - TRUMP. (I'll leave the rest for you guys. :) )

    Sounds like a good concept. It is somewhat like the front part of "That's The Question", but the full game itself will likely be different, otherwise they might as well as just bring TTQ back.

    Still, I'm optimistic about this.

    I can't imagine how game show fans had a passion for Camouflage.

    Camouflage, the classic 1960s game show that had a cult following with ABC viewers, is coming back as a GSN original series - Chuck Barris resurrected the vintage half-hour show as a syndicated program in the 1980s; before that, Jerry Hamer executive produced the 1961 original.

    Some things never changed, until now.

    Dart's got it, folks. Spot on - good clues.

    In fact, Dart, we're looking for writers, so if you're LA based and need a gig for the next four months, apply!
