It might be time to draw out the checkbook and consider buying some Zynga (ZNGA) stock shares. Why? Because Zynga and the CBS network are developing a new game show that will be based on the popular Draw Something application.
The "Draw Something" pilot will be produced by Sony Pictures Television, Ryan Seacrest Productions and Embassy Row, reportedly after a multiple-network bidding war, according to "The Hollywood Reporter."Michael Davies of "The Glee Project," and Ryan Seacrest Productions’ CEO Adam Sher are on board to executive produce the pilot.
CBS is so far planning on inviting a mix of celebrities and everyday people to play the game in front of a live audience, for the chance to earn cash prizes. There may also be an option for viewers watching at home to participate and earn prizes as well. No word yet as to whether said teams will be drawing while also marooned on a desert island.
The network has described the show as an unscripted reality show. “Each week, teams of celebrities and everyday users will test their skills in front of a studio audience to earn money and big laughs. Viewers can also play along at home for a chance to win prizes and compete with the celebrities,” CBS said in a press release.

The shareholders are hopeful that the ‘Draw Something Game Show’ becomes an instant hit on the TV as it has on the mobile phones. Zynga’s (ZNGA) are showing signs of life as they are on the rise the past few days.
If the ‘Draw Something Game Show’ is a success we should continue to see a surge with ZNGA shares.
But, slow down, we don’t know a time frame yet. We don’t know when, or if, the show will be broadcast. We don’t know a time of the day when it will be aired. All these things will play a part in the popularity of the TV version’s success of Draw Something. All these things will affect the shares of Zynga.
If the Draw Something Game Show is a success then why shouldn’t Zynga look into reviving Mafia Wars with a Mafia Wars TV show? Mafia themed movies and shows have been hits for decades so why not cash in on this game over the airwaves?
