The Crystal Maze is possibly getting a US version

Before I say this, it must be taken with a wheelbarrow sized pinch of salt so prepare accordingly. An article popped up online today suggesting the possibility of a US version of everyone's favourite British game show devised by a Frenchman.

For a bit of background, as I understand it, the ownership of the show is as follows:

TCM is produced by Fizz, which is owned by RDF Television, which itself is a subsidiary of Banijay Group after BG bought RDF's parent company Zodiak Media. I think this is how it goes, I may not be 100% accurate but I know the name above the door at the top of the pile is Banijay Group.

An American producer by the name of Bunim Murray Productions, which is also under the Banijay Group umbrella, is wanting to shop the format around to US broadcasters. BMP being the people who brought the world 'Surviving R Kelly' and some unknown thing called 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians', so TCM seems like something a bit different for them.

Keep watching, liking, sharing the Maze - let's keep the Maze here to stay this time. I don't think us maze fans could bear the thought of the set getting dismantled and skipped again, and consigned to the history books! Long live The Crystal Maze. (Channel 4, KEEP IT FOREVER - best programme ever made). A recent poll on Twitter showed that most people do not want Celebrity Editions of the Maze.... C4, you need to pull the Celebrity editions..... there is one show that shouldn't have Celebs and that is the Maze. C4, please listen to your audiences. Thanks.
