Mattel to help us all just pass the time with an UNO TV show
As life is often like being trapped in a hotel room with your family on a perpetually rained-out vacation, Mattel has teamed with The Gurin Company to help us pass the time by developing UNO: The Game Show, based on the wildly endured card game. And like many a mom pulling it out of her purse, Mattel is trying to act really excited about UNO, developing the potential series in both a half-hour daily version and an hour-long primetime format. The difference between the two lies in their respective jackpots ($100,000 and $1 million), and the fact that the primetime version has way more murders and sexual abuse subplots, presumably. Skeet Ulrich will star as Det. Skip Reverse. "You're a wild card!" his superiors will scream at him.
