Jun 8 2006Donald Trump Making Monopoly Reality TV

Real estate mogul Donald Trump is developing a new reality series based on the classic board game Monopoly. Toy company Hasbro has teamed up with the businessman, who will also serve as executive producer on the show. The series will have contestants try to gather and improve properties in order to increase their ultimate net worth.

I don't see how Monopoly could ever be a good show. Watching someone buy property and build houses really doesn't translate to watchable television. I mean, it will be better than a Yahtzee movie, but just barely. And if it's truly like the game, the show will take too long and end in an argument.

Just to be the first, I'd like to predict the winner of this new series: the cannon.

Oh, because shows like Property Ladder (TLC), Flip This House (Discovery) and the other Flip This House (Trademark Properties, TLC) just don't make the cut?

No way! It's totally going to be the shoe.
