The recent game show, Domino Masters, which premiered on Fox on March 9, 2022, celebrates the art of intricate domino arrangements, with Modern Family alumnus Eric Stonestreet serving as host.
The result is a fun-filled series of wild challenges as domino aficionados form teams and play around with the blocks. Domino Masters proves that the reality show format can go beyond the usual displays of song and dance or deadly stunt shows. With Floor Is Lava, Making It, Beat Shazam, and many others, a new age of amusing game shows is being ushered in.
With 11 seasons of heartwarming comedy, Modern Family is one of the best picks for those who are looking for any family-centric sitcoms. However, unlike its contemporaries, the show has a certain edge to it as it doesn't hold back in showing the imperfections of its characters. Instead of being a Utopian family, the three families in the show deal with their own everyday chaos in moving yet hilarious ways.
As Domino Masters is bound to create more interest in its host's career, it is a must-watch as Eric Stonestreet plays Cameron Tucker, who is considered to be one of the best Modern Family characters.
Just like the music app Shazam, the purpose of the players in this gameshow is to identify songs through mere sounds. As they compete against each other, they must also fight the show's computer system itself in an intense game of song recognition.
Adding more life to the show is the hosting, which is a family affair between Jamie Foxx and his daughter, Corinne. Even though Jamie Foxx has had his fair share of heroic and villainous characters in Hollywood, his off-screen personality is really fun-loving, as can be seen from Beat Shazam.
As is evident from the title, Floor Is Lava serves as an interesting spin on the kids' game of the same name. Only this time, the floor is actually made to be like lava. In order to avoid falling inside the pit, players devise all sorts of methods to make their way out, ranging from leaping off chairs to swinging from chandeliers.
Much like Domino Masters, Floor Is Lava is a perfect family-friendly option for audiences. And even though both shows have adult contestants, the gameplay ends up brimming with a certain naivety.
While the new Wonder Years is definitely one of the best TV reboots in recent times, the original is also a timeless classic in its own right. The show stars Fred Savage as Kevin Arnold, a kid growing up in the turbulent times of the '60s and '70s. While covering his coming-of-age story, The Wonder Years also captures the protagonist's social settings. Hence, the sitcom also serves as a time capsule of sorts.
Among the prominent characters of The Wonder Years is Winnie Cooper, Kevin's neighbor and love interest and easily one of Danica McKellar's best roles. As she serves as a judge on Domino Masters, new-age fans can check out her older work to get a better idea of her acting prowess.
The premise of To Tell The Truth involves three contestants talking about their unique traits. While one is telling the truth, the other two are impostors. Now, it is up to the four celebrity panelists to ask them questions and identify the liar.
Apart from its unique premise, another reason to check out the show for fans of Domino Masters is Anthony Anderson's hosting. Much like Stonestreet, Anderson is one of the many comedians with a distinct sitcom career who are now making their mark in gameshows.
Just like creating domino patterns, building complicated LEGO structures is a Herculean task. Will Arnett's best movies include his stint as Batman in the LEGO cinematic universe. But now, he takes hosting duties for a show that celebrates the best of LEGO architects.
Every Lego Masters episode is related to a specific kind of franchise. So, for a Need For Speed episode, players must build LEGO cars from scratch, while the Star Wars-themed one involves players creating iconic moments from the sci-fi franchise.
A non-competitive reality show, Making It finds its contestants creating wonderful handcrafted structures out of everyday materials. From creating rooms to designing last-minute Halloween costumes, they can make anything and everything.
The feel-good factor of the show is doubled by Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman serving as hosts. The two actors have already played memorable Parks and Recreation main characters and unlikely best friends, Leslie Knope and Ron Swanson. Seeing them reunite is wholesome to say the least, much like how Modern Family fans see Eric Stonestreet return in Domino Masters.
Marketed as "the ultimate hands-on" competition, The Great Pottery Throw Down involves 10 home potters competing among each other for the title of "Top Potter." In the same manner as other reality shows, they must go through various sorts of challenges that test their skill to the fullest.
It is worth noting how top game shows like The Great Pottery Throw Down and Domino Masters are giving a much-needed platform to new talents and skills. The art of pottery has existed for ages but only now is it getting the reality show treatment.
The Big Flower Fight presents a floral competition between florists and garden designers as they engage in a so-called "friendly floral fight." The challenge is to build the biggest and most detailed garden sculptures, ranging from fashion garments to fantasy creatures.
Needless to say, the show is intensely colorful, with viewers getting a glimpse of all sorts of familiar and unique flowers. If Domino Masters proves to be a show with distinct patterns and designs, The Big Flower Fight ups the game.
In this Netflix original, designer and artist Jimmy DiResta and his rag-tag bunch of four friends discuss childish ideas of pointless inventions. Sometimes, they even end up building them resulting in a "Pirate Pizza Cannon," a "Dino Taco Toilet," a "Soccer Shoe Car," and so on.
Making Fun celebrates the joys of childhood from a grown-up perspective, making for a delightful viewing experience. In Domino Masters, the domino experts might be extremely skilled, but ultimately, they are celebrating the joys of childhood, as dominos are, after all, one of the best toys a kid can have.
