DO YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR DOG?

The program is based on a series of trademarked “Do You Look Like” Websites, including the popular Web site and book of the same name, Do You Look Like Your Dog, and other sites – Do You Look Like…Your Cat, Your Pet, Your Mate, Your Lover, a Celebrity, Your Car, and additional “Do You Look Like Categories.”  In the shows contestants compete to show off who is the most alike and participate in various activities with their pet, significant other, or other look-alikes.

 JACKPOT
Based on the popular game published by Briarpatch in which players race to match up images to create Jackpots.  The game was introduced at the 2007 American Toy Fair and has received international publicity.

 

HOMICIDE BY THE RICH AND FAMOUS

Based on the book of the same name published by both Greenwood and Berkley Books Homicide by the Rich and Famous features cases with rich killers from the 19th century to the present.  Each show features dramatizations of one or two stories, highlighting different themes that characterize homicides by the rich and famous – such as using an elaborate cover-up to hide the crime, hiring a killer, or getting a great legal defense team.  It draws on the cases described in Homicide by the Rich and Famous and additional cases researched for the show.  A Web site for the book is at www.richandfamoushomicide.com.  

WHAT KIND OF DOG ARE YOU?

Based on the Website www.whatkindofdogareyou.com and forthcoming book What Kind of Dog Are You?, in which people gain insights about themselves and others from their favorite and least favorite breed of dogs.  The show features a variety of game activities in which participants choose their favorite and least favorite dogs, respond to a series of questions, guess what types of dogs the other participants are most likely to choose and why, and participants participate in role plays where they imagine themselves acting like different types of dogs,

BAD BOSSES 

Based on the popular book: A Survival Guide for Working with Bad Bosses featured at www.badbosses.net, the show features former employees (sometimes disguised) telling their stories. As they do, clips of reenactments by actors will show what happened. Then, a panel of judges gives advice on what the person should do – or should have done. There are also prizes for the worst bosses.  Audience members and viewers are invited to share their stories and vote on the winners, too. 

WORK IT RIGHT!

Inspired by a series of advice books on improving workplace relationships (A Survival Guide to Working with Humans, Dealing with Bad Bosses, and Managing Employees from Hell from AMACOM), Work It Right! is a show in which people describe their workplace problems, followed by video clips from their real workplace or a simulation and some clips showing different ways to resolve the problem.  Then, a panel of judges gives advice on what that person should do.  The Web site is www.workingwithhumans.com.   

THE LYING GAME

Inspired by the book The Truth about Lying, The Lying Game is a show in which people compete in games in which they tell lies, detect lies, and get people to participate in activities based on truth and lies. People also describe situations in which they have lied, and the judges and audience members vote on the participants who have told the best lie, worst lie, or funniest lie. The show lends itself to a series of boxed games which players can play at home with their family and friends. 

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Based on the popular book from Paragon Making Ethical Choices, Resolving Ethical Dilemmas, What Should I Do? is a show in which participants with an ethical dilemma are given advice by contests trying to give the best or worst advice and the likely results of following each choice are shown.  Then, panel of judges decide who has given the best and worst advice and why, and that person wins a prize.  The winner goes on to compete in the next show.
