Coming this fall!

“Opportunity Knocks” is a game show produced by Ashton Kutcher’s Katalyst Films and will air on at 8 p.m. Tuesdays before “Dancing With the Stars.”

“This show is basically an amazing game show where we go to different neighborhoods around America and knock on people’s doors and bring the game show directly to their front lawn,” McPherson said. “It kind of combines ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ with ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.’ ”

Amazing!

What random and impartial process will bring you to my front lawn, Ashton?

I have a prety good imagination, but can't image how they could combine "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" with "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire".

Maybe instead of giving money away with each question, they do a more elaborate makeover of a room, or several rooms.

"Ohhhh, sorry! You had the right question at the $1,000 level, where we tore down your old house, but you missed the $25,000 one, so we can't build you a new one."

A lot like Cash Cab too, only on CC you have to flag down the right NYC Cabbie in order to participate. I wonder if he ever drives past potential customers in a Quest to find "screen worthy" contestants?
Oh well I might be more suitable for Taxi Cab Confessions...

Only if you barricade yourself in your Home, Marley! Maybe not, but I don't buy the "Random" premise. When we lived by the Ocean, all kinds of Survey Companies were interested in our opinions, i.e. Nielsen Ratings, the Radio ratings, et. al. We felt important. Now that we live in the OC, we don't exist in the minds of TV and Radio geeks!

He's probably driven by Marley several times.

There will be a new show on TLC called "Your Place or Mine?" where things will be happening to the contestants' home while they play a trivia game in the studio.

You know, I talking to somebody about getting on a game show that was similar to this. We got to a point where I sent them pictures of my house and they told me that it was too nice. I took it as a compliment since I decorated it myself.

We applied to be on Spice Up My Kitchen on HGTV.

We have one of those wonderful 50s double ovens. Right now, however, neither oven works (temp controls).

We thought that, combined with aging appliances and tacky decor, we had a sure winner.

Apparently, we failed miserably.

Hey! My place could probably qualify!

Would they have to disturb my stacks of clutter?

Edited: Since there are far more than just one stack of clutter.

You can always invite us over for a party. It will need redecorating afterwards!

I'm not sure how much babysitting Rumer requires these days. She turns 20 this summer.

This appears to be the casting notice for "Opportunity Knocks". Here is another one.
