Last week, CBS announced a Ryan Seacrest-produced game show based on the hit app "Draw Something" is in the works, which, surprisingly, might not be the worst idea in the world.
Zynga's guessing game asks users to draw images of a selection of their choice (think Pictionary) and send it to their friends to solve.
The show will be similar to NBC's late '80s quiz game "Win, Lose or Draw" which saw celebrities essentially play charades with pictures in the comfort of Burt Reynold's living room.
With a slew of board-games-turned-films in the works, we decided to take a look at other apps that should be turned into game shows.
Angry Birds
The popular game by Rovio Mobile lets users soar birds through the air to destroy egg-stealing pigs and their castles.
A cartoon is already in the works, but what about a "Wipeout"-style game show? There can even be teams (birds and pigs, obviously) competing against one another.
Words With Friends
During the '80s, Chuck Woolery hosted game show, "Scrabble."
This could be re-envisioned on the small screen.
Maybe Woolery would even be interested in a modern-day version of the game.
Bag It!
Hidden Variable Studios' Bag It! asks players to literally bag groceries in Tetris-like fashion.
How would this work on television? Simple.
Think "Supermarket Sweep," with rounds specifically devoted to bagging.
