Ashton Kutcher Bringing "Opportunity Knocks" to ABC

Tuesday May 13, 2008
The big television networks are unveiling their new 2008/09 schedules this week during the upfronts, and ABC today announced that Ashton Kutcher's production company, Katalyst, is behind their latest game show offering, Opportunity Knocks. The hour-long game show will air Tuesday nights at 8pm.

Hosted by J.D. Roth, Opportunity Knocks is a mobile game show that is literally played at the contestants' homes. According to ABC's press release:
"We will be showing up on America's doorstep and testing how well they know their family. Our mobile team will arrive at 'Anywhere, America' in a semi-truck that is full of flat screen TVs, new furniture and big cash prizes that the family can win right there. We will take the action of a game show directly into our contestants' homes, setting up shop in a family's front lawn."
The game will be played by asking family members trivia questions about each other, their home, and their lives. 13 episodes are on tap, to air this fall.
