”Trivial Pursuit: America Plays has easily exceeded our expectations since our alliance with Hasbro was announced in September,” said Marcus. “Due to strong demand for the show, Hasbro and Debmar-Mercury are giving Trivial Pursuit a firm ‘go’.”
Added Bernstein, “We absolutely believe this will make for stimulating, family style viewing and engage audiences week after week. We are confident that Trivial Pursuit has all the key ingredients of great television programming and will keep audiences coming back for more.”
“Trivial Pursuit captured the imagination and passion of millions of game players when it was introduced 25 years ago,” said Phil Jackson, Group Executive for Hasbro Games. “Transforming this iconic classic into an interactive television experience is one of the exciting ways that we’re establishing the brand for success over the next 25 years.”
Debmar-Mercury will be showcasing Trivial Pursuit at NATPE 2008 in Las Vegas. Format rights are also available to international territories; both the format and the brand have already created great excitement in numerous territories across the globe.
