As far as getting into the "BIG" manufacturers, I would assume that any contract with them basically gives them the rights to derivative works and works in other mediums, which would include your game show. I know my contracts operate in that manner.nnOf course, you could do it yourself... But then you are going to be spending $$$ and working on something that you may not be inclined to work on.

He said my idea was innovative,brilliant,fun and interesting. He said he could sell it. 1 week later he said make it a board game first to protect your property(my show can easily go international.)it will be that much easier to sell. How hard is it to just go for the "BIG" Manufacturing companies? I have been working on this for 4 years. It's a(Texas Hold Em') poker hybrid game. Where do I go first?<br>Laurie I just pitched a T.V. game show to a top agent at CAA. He said my idea was innovative,brilliant,fun and interesting.
