What Might've Been: Extreme Dodgeball (2004)

 In its early years, Game Show Network experimented with a lot of ideas. Building a game show around a common game that we've all played in the gym and on the playground should've lasted longer than it did.

In all, Extreme Dodgeball ran for 3 seasons over the course of a 17 month period (June 2004-November 2005), and could've been farmed out to ESPN. Ex-SportsCenter anchor Bil Dwyer and Zach Selwyn (ex-Dream Job) called the action.

Today, the show sits in GSN's vaults, as it hasn't aired since it was cancelled in 2005. Since I didn't add digital cable until well after this series ended, I can't fairly rate it.

Following is a sample episode from season 2.
