National Lampoon's Greek Games

On July 13, Game Show Network will be showing National Lampoon's Greek Games at 11 p.m. Below is a Press Release.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- GSN, the network for games, will premiere NATIONAL LAMPOON'S GREEK GAMES on Tuesday, July 6 from 11:00 PM to Midnight ET/PT. This exciting four-episode series will pit four fictional fraternities and sororities against each other to compete for a trip to the magical Greek island of Mykonos.

Hosted by George Gray, ("America's Worst Driver," "Todd TV," and "The Weakest Link"), NATIONAL LAMPOON'S GREEK GAMES opens with a parade of nations as the eight teams enter the arena, outfitted in their customized togas and ready for competition. The teams will compete in 26 different events on the field and in the water including "Geek Distance Throw" (the team throws a bookish character as far as possible into the water); "Gooey Ten-Yard Dash" (a race through three inches of corn syrup); "Reclining Chair-iot Race" (a recliner rigged with wheels); "Slip and Slide Long Slide" (athletes compete to slide the furthest on water and Greek olive oil).

Gray comments, "NATIONAL LAMPOON'S GREEK GAMES is all about tongue-in-cheek humor, my favorite kind. Geek tossing, recliner races, and lots of sorority girls -- finally Greek Games that I'm excited about!"

Additional sideline reporting will be from Petros Papadakis, a former USC tailback and host of "The Petros Papadakis Show" on Los Angeles' 1540AM The Ticket, and The Southern California Sports Report on Fox Sport Net. Papadakis handles most of the coverage from the field events, while Daphne Brogdon ("X Show," and "Perfect Partner"), covers the pool action.

NATIONAL LAMPOON'S GREEK GAMES is executive produced by Mark Cronin and James Rowley of Mindless Entertainment, producers of three other GSN programs, CRAM, WHO WANTS TO BE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA? and EXTREME DODGEBALL.

GSN, the Network for Games, is the only U.S. television network dedicated to game-related programming and interactive game playing. The network features game shows, reality series, documentaries, video game programs and casino games. As the industry leader in interactivity, GSN features 84 hours per week of interactive programming, which allows viewers a chance to win prizes by playing along with GSN's televised games via GSN.com. Reaching 54 million Nielsen homes, GSN is distributed in the U.S. through all major cable systems and satellite providers. The network is jointly owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment and Liberty Media Corporation. For further media information, visit GSN's press website at corp.gsn.com.

I predict

No member of a real NPC sorority will be participating (and if one does, she's likely to be a non-member soon.)

I have a feeling that there will be negative stereotypes in that show!

Yeah, they said that the greeks on the show are fictional. The letters of the guys that were shown were fraternity letters I didn't recognize, but they probably over lap with a local somewhere.

I forgot what they said on the slogan for the commercials, but they did mention "sexy sorority girls."
