A reality competition series based on the movie “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” in which Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie starred, is in the works. 
 
 3 Ball Entertainment and New Regency, which produced the original 2005 movie, are teaming to develop and produce a reality game-competition version of the feature film. 
 
 Fittingly, in the vein of secret assassins, details are highly confidential, but the show will feature married couples that compete in a high-octane, high-stakes game that offers a twist on the TV competition format, producers say. 
 
 The box office hit, which brought in nearly $500 million worldwide, revolved around a married couple (Pitt and Jolie) who discover they are both assassins hired by competing agencies to kill each other. 
 
 Todd A. Nelson and Brant Pinvidic will serve as exec producers on the series for 3 Ball Entertainment. ||||| There's something about a good game show that just reels us in. Although, we admit, sometimes the guest makes it more than the host. 
 
 As game shows rose to popularity in the '70s and '80s, a lot of the good ideas for them got taken. And then came the really "out there" ideas (although in America, we have yet to match the weirdness of the Japanese game show where the guests chew the furniture to see if it's chocolate). 
 
 If you've never heard of the ones of this list, bless your heart, because you were spared serious awkwardness. 
 
 1. Yahtzee 
 
 Yahtzee is a pretty fun dice game on its own, worth enjoying over a pizza and a few beers. Is it fun to watch people roll dice on a national television show? No. No, it isn't. 
 
 2. My Dad is Better Than Your Dad 
 
 Here was a game where you could win by teaming up with your dad to compete against other father/son teams. The idea wasn't awful, but watching the execution really hurt. 
 
 3. Scrabble 
 
 Scrabble is great when you're playing it. Watching other people play it kind of sucks. Not even Chuck Woolery could save this one. 
 
 4. Identity 
 
 Penn Jilette of Penn and Teller fame took the helm in this game show, which challenged contestants to match 12 strangers to their identities. The capacity for stereotyping was like a giant landmine, which is why we'd guess it only lasted one season. 
 
 5. Twenty One 
 
 Twenty-One, hosted by Maury Povich, was based off the original quiz show of the same name in the 1950s. The show only lasted one season, which left Povich more time for lie detector tests and paternity tests for his talk show. 
 
 6. Naked Jungle 
 
 This UK game show challenged couples to roam through the jungle performing an assault course naked. We don't think further explanation of why this was a bad idea is required. 
 
 7. Shafted 
 
 Another gem from the UK, Shafted was canceled in 2001 after only four episodes. Apparently host Robert Kilroy-Silk's tagline "Their fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft" didn't sit well with people. 
 
 8. Show Me The Money 
 
 William Shatner, go-go dancers and breaks for "Sexy Party" time. What could go wrong?
– The movie that brought Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie together is becoming ... a reality competition series. A TV game show based on Mr. and Mrs. Smith is in the works, Variety reports, and though details are scant, the series will involve married couples competing in some fashion. The movie, of course, was about competing assassins who happened to be married. Variety describes the game show as "high-octane" and "high-stakes" with "a twist" on the typical format.
