FremantleMedia has acquired the global format rights to the classic shopping game show Supermarket Sweep<\/em>.<\/p>\n The format was created by producer Al Howard in 1965. The show was a global hit and was adapted in 13 territories internationally. Supermarket Sweep<\/em> sees players step inside a special supermarket for a fast-paced game show, with three teams of two battling it out using their shopping skills and knowledge of merchandise to win cash prizes.<\/p>\n Vasha Wallace, FremantleMedia’s executive VP of global acquisitions and development, said: \u201cThe time is ripe to bring back this all-time favorite game show, which has traveled with such success over the years. Now, modern technology allows us the opportunity to update the show, making it relevant for a 21st century audience. It is a great addition to this year\u2019s MIPCOM slate and given the interest we\u2019ve had already we\u2019re confident that everyone will be as excited for its return as we are.\u201d<\/p>\n Henry Howard, son of creator Al Howard, said: \u201cIn Supermarket Sweep<\/em>, one lucky team tries for the bonus money, but on this show, there are no losers\u2014only shoppers having a great time. I\u2019m delighted that FremantleMedia has made the exciting decision to bring back this classic game show, and I look forward to working with their talented teams around the world.
