The show's logo.

Status: Partially Lost

The Game of Life was a Hub Network game show that premiered on September 3rd, 2011.[1] Hosted by Frank Nicotero, the game show adaptation had two families of three experience a virtual ride in a car based on the game of the same name for a chance to spin to win a grand prize, typically a vacation. The show only aired for one season and concluded on April 15th, 2012.

History

The Hub first announced the start of the production of the show on March 24th, 2011, when they announced its programming for the 2011-2012 season, with Frank Nicotero, set to host the show.[2] The show was previewed on September 3rd, 2011, along with Scrabble Showdown, the day after Family Game Night's second season was premiered. Along with Scrabble Showdown, the show would officially premiere on September 17th, 2011,[3] and its original time slot was Saturdays at 6:00 pm EST. The time slot would be moved to Sundays at 9:00 pm EST and later changed to Sundays at 8:00 pm EST, which now is aired after Family Game Night.

The show concluded on April 15th, 2012. After that, reruns of the show would continuously air on The Hub Network until June 29th, 2014.[4] The show would return to Discovery Family sometime later, but the network stopped airing it for unknown reasons. The first 26 episodes of the show were available to stream on-demand on Tubi. However, Tubi removed them from the streaming platform due to the license to distribute the show expiring, making it barely accessible for a short time.[5]

Availability

Out of the 30 episodes produced, Episode 29 remains to be found. A sizzle reel, containing clips from the majority of the show, is found and can be viewed on editor Andrew J. Ciancia's website. When contacted, host Frank Nicotero told Lost Media Wiki user Racelympics that he doesn't have any episodes and asked if he had tried YouTube.[6] In addition, when contacted, most of the crew said they don't have any episodes and confirmed that the network would be where all of the show's episodes are located.[7]

On July 11th, 2021, Lost Media Wiki user Halofan found five episodes through a private tracker and uploaded them onto Google Drive. Phanpy Ken later reuploaded these episodes on YouTube. When contacted, executive producer Bob Boden sent Racelympics the premiere episode after he got in touch with creative consultant Steve Ryan, who would forward this message to Boden.

On October 7th, 2022, Racelympics found the rest of the missing episodes from Tubi after making a deal with Jared Oswald, a private collector. He has since made the first mention of the discovery on Twitter[8] and Instagram[9]. Phanpy Ken and Dexter have uploaded various episodes after being sent the episodes by Racelympics, and Jared Oswald has uploaded the remaining lost episodes onto YouTube for his 4000th subscriber special. Later, on March 5th, 2023, Racelympics uploaded Episodes 28 and 30 to the Internet Archive after getting them from a private collector.

Racelympics made a document detailing the search for the Game Show Tape Trading Facebook community in hopes of recovering more episodes. Ryan Rinkerman, a private collector, made a comment on that post, stating that although he wished he had saved more of the show, it was the least favorite that aired on The Hub Network and was not a big deal for him. He promised that he would try to make the missing episodes from his collection found, while also try to hunt down others.[10] Other than that, the remaining lost episode, Episode 29, has yet to resurface.
