As the most-watched broadcast network, CBS has enjoyed enduring success with its daytime game shows, The Price Is Right and Let’s Make a Deal. During primetime though, their unscripted offerings have been of the competitive reality variety, like Survivor, The Amazing Race, and Big Brother. Buoyed perhaps, by ABC‘s reboots of classic game shows like To Tell the Truth, Match Game, and Pyramid, the Tiffany Network is now dipping a toe in the primetime game show pool with its new Candy Crush TV show. Will this game show, inspired by the mobile game franchise, be a hit or a miss? Will Candy Crush be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
A CBS game show hosted by Mario Lopez, Candy Crush follows contestants as they try to match three or more colorful candies to earn points, overcome obstacles, and move up through over 2,000 available levels. Teams of two employ mind and muscle to compete on a large, interactive game boards, powered by next generation technology. Their goal is to conquer the Candy Crush game and claim the champion crown.
