Players: 2+ (in teams)
Playing Time: 30-60 minutes
Would you be able to recognize a clip from “Green Acres” if you saw it? Or put a bunch of television events in order, from earliest to most recent? Or identify a missing word from a famous TV commercial slogan? Could you recognize the theme song from a classic show?
If so, then you’d be great at Shout About TV. This new DVD game from Hasbro is very similar to the original Shout About Movies–each game consists of eight rounds, played on a DVD, and it’s big on laughs and fun. As you can probably guess from the title, this game is all about television shows and TV personalities. Be prepared to be quizzed on everything from classic shows (such as “Leave It to Beaver”) to brand-new shows like “Desperate Housewives.”
Like the original movies version, the DVD keeps track of the score for you. And with eight very different rounds, you really never know who the winner is going to be until the very end.
Shout About TV Disc 1 consists of three complete games. Once you’ve finished, you can’t replay the games (unless you get a kick out of knowing all the questions ahead of time). Luckily, Hasbro has already released a second disc of games to further test your TV knowledge.
