Game Show-"The Perfect Line"

#1 Post by Spock » Sat Feb 07, 2026 9:36 am

I had never heard of this show until yesterday when I happened to flip through some channels and I caught one question and it was "place these events in order from north to south."

Can it be true?

Do we have a new(?) game show with questions in the format of The Old Phone Game (TOPG) and Ring of Fire. Both are highly missed.

Not exactly. The premise is that a category is selected, such as Beatles songs. Then one song is chosen and a contestant has to decide whether the next song comes before or after the chosen one. The next contestant has to decide whether the next song goes before, after, or between the two songs, and so forth for each contestant. In the final, the last contestant has to place five things in order based on a criterion such as price.

The bonus round with the prices is one of the worst I've ever seen on any game show. The show started September 2025 and will be 160 eps. with about 110 having aired so far.

Another new game show, "Scrambled Up", with Michael Yo hosting also started at the same time. Players have to unscramble words/phrases. That show has a much better bonus round with the player needing to solve 3 scrambles in 60 seconds to win $10,000.
