''The Next Line'' was a 1990s television game show. Produced by Blair Murdoch, it was filmed at the studios of CKVU-TV in Vancouver, British Columbia. Hosted by Kevin Frank, with Kathy Morse (later the mayor of Maple Ridge from 2002 to 2005) as the announcer (the pair had also worked together on another game show, ''Kidstreet'', which aired around the same time), it centered on viewing classic movie clips that were cut off at a point and then determining which of a panel of "experts" gave the correct line that followed. It premiered in 1991 on many Global Television Network stations, but was cancelled after 13 weeks. Reruns were first aired on Prime Network in the late 90s, and later resurfaced on GameTV. The show was based on an earlier game show, ''The New Liar's Club'' (another show produced by Murdoch), which was played using similar rules. Even the set was nearly identical, but with some minor adjustments including the vane scoring display expanding to 4 digits (while ''The New Liar's Clubs display used only 3). Unlike ''Liar's Club'', ''The Next Line'' had no studio audience. ==Gameplay== Four contestants played the game against a regular panel of four "experts" that featured: * Pete Barbutti, actor and musician who made numerous appearances on ''The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson''. Barbutti was the only ''Liar's Club'' panelist to move over to ''The Next Line''. * Neil Crone, who had a major role in the second season of the CTV series ''Power Play'', playing Hamilton Steelheads coach Harry Strand and played local radio host Fred Tupper in the CBC sitcom ''Little Mosque on the Prairie''. He was also the host of another Canadian game show (this one for kids) called ''Wild Guess''. * Veena Sood, an award winning actress, who has appeared in numerous feature films, and television shows, including the Sony Classics feature ''Touch of Pink'', ''DaVinci's Inquest'', ''Fringe'', ''V'', as well as the 2007/2008 season of ''Little Mosque on the Prairie'' as Amaar's mother. She is the sister of Manoj Sood ('Baber' on ''Little Mosque'') and Ashwin Sood (Sarah McLachlan's husband and drummer). Ms. Sood also has appeared on numerous U.K. productions, including ''Compulsion'' (BBC), and the cross cultural comedy Nina's Heavenly Delights, which was shot in Glasgow, Scotland. As of 2011, Veena Sood was a regular character on the new Showcase Network Crime Drama ''Endgame''. () * Denalda Williams, former contestant on another Canadian-based game show, ''Talk About''. Five rounds were played. Each contestant started with 100 points and could wager as many points as they wanted on the panelist they thought gave the correct line to the clip. A correct match earned the player the points they wagered, while an incorrect match subtracted the wagered points from their score. The contestant with the most points at the end of the fifth round was declared the day's champion and won an assortment of prizes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Next Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
