There is an American quasi-version online on da Toob where 2000 Jeopardy! 
College Champion Pam Mueller is the host.
 
In the Season 3 USA Grand Final linked below, the glyphs were: T.rex, unicorn, 
puffer fish, hedgehog, fire, and the trans-rights flag.

As a shoutout, Eastenders – or more specifically, STN DRS – was a clue last 
night.

[Adam Bowie]

Don't worry - I won't be running to any of our legal teams anytime soon.

I think they're more worried about things that they can otherwise sell to
another broadcaster somewhere, or appear on an ex-UK BBC platform that
earns cash. So ensuring episodes of The Capture, an NBC/Universal
coproduction that appears on Peacock, don't end up there. That sort of
thing.

YouTube.  And neither the BBC nor Banijay blocks it (as Banijay--or, as the
screen puts it, Endemol BV (Banijay acquired Endemol Shine last year--has
started blocking the person who was posting the Saturday night celebrity
edition of "Pointless" on YouTube).  As so much TV appears on YouTube, a
good number of UK game shows show up being posted, usually from BBC iPlayer
or the equivalents.  The networks and producers have pretty much let it go,
with the exception of above and "The Chase," which ITV seems to clamped
down enough for their own clips packages on the show's YouTube account.

Of course, now that I've blabbed this to a BBC employee...

Re: [TV orNotTV] "Greatest game show on Earth" returns to Britain, on The Beeb

[Adam Bowie]

I'm curious about where people are watching this? Is it buried away on
Britbox or something in North America? It didn't strike me as having
widespread international appeal.

That said, it's usually one of the most watched shows on BBC2. Looking at
yesterday's overnights, it was the most watched BBC2 show with 2.1m viewers
watching live or on-demand the same day. To put that into perspective,
Eastenders got 2.6m viewers on BBC1 half an hour earlier.

It seems to me that’s what all broadcast and cable networks have been
reduced to: background noise. Procedural shows or formulaic reality shows
that are easy and cheap to produce. Something innocuous to have on in a
doctor’s waiting room.

Someone's weird database driven website doesn't work.

Countdown is Channel 4's longest running show - it was the first show
on-air when the channel launched in 1982. Its new presenter - at least new
in July - is Colin Murray, who is very much not Keith Olberman. That said,
I bet Murray knows who Olberman is, as he's a big US sports fan, and
longtime presenter of Fighting Talk on BBC Radio which is based on those
daft ESPN shows where people score points based on sports stuff.

I'm not sure why Channel Four are running a quiz at that time - as you say,
quizzes are well catered for at 5pm. But I suspect Moneybags is just
filling in space between seasons of Come Dine With Me (if you don't know
what it is, I wouldn't bother looking it up).

It seems to me that daytime TV these days is mostly for people who still
haven't come around to streaming, or just want something on in the
background while they do other things. I guess you can look up
occasionally and answer a quiz question if that's your bag.

Now if some US network took on "Only Connect", then I'd be interested!

If OnTVTonight.com is accurate – which in this case, it isn’t – Channel 4 has 
found a new host for “Countdown”: Keith Olbermann.

Not directly related to Remarkable Television, another division of the
French format factory Banijay that produces "Pointless," the BBC1 quiz show
that has been in mortal combat for over a decade with its 5 p.m. weekday
quiz competition on ITV "The Chase."  And for some reason Channel 4 has
tried to get into the fray lately at 5 p.m. with the second season of its
game show "Moneybags."  Remember, friends, C4 is supposed to be the home of
alternative commercial TV programming in the UK.

PS:  Banijay owns the overseas rights to the "Survivor" format.
