Rob Lowe has a big week at Fox. The actor closed his five-season run as the star of “9-1-1: Lone Star” Monday with a bang from a serial final, and ends on Sunday with the start of a new seasonal competition series “The Floor.”
The last performance would not be as remarkable as the first if it was not that the unwritten series, which is now going into the third season, makes his debut in the coveted post-super bowl-time lock. Lowe has “honored and pumped that aspect”.
“It’s incredible. I tried to explain some friends who are not in business, what would that mean? It’s like, no, no, you don’t understand – this is the most valuable piece of real estate in the media company, “Lowe said Variety. “And what that means is just a different indication of how people have embraced the show. This show is addictive like hell, and when people taste it, they are addicted. ”
Made by productive non -written producer John de Mol (“Big Brother”, “Deal or no deal”, “The Voice”), “The Floor” is a competition with 100 participants on a huge, interactive LED play floor Consist of 100 squares, each that represented a different Trivia category. The game starts with the first challenger, randomly selected and chooses a neighboring opponent to compete in a Trivia quiz based on the chosen category of the opponent. The winner of that faceoff takes over the square of the loser and expands their presence on the floor while the loser leaves the game. The participant who takes over full control over the floor by the end is called victor.
For Lowe, the fact “the floor” was picked to enter the stage after the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles Duke It Out in Super Bowl Lix on Fox is “just proof” how challenging it has become to find a show who appeals for a wide audience.
“It is one of those rare shows where 10-year-olds like it, grandparents like it, university children like it, rural people like it, urban people like it,” said Lowe. “It is addicing equal opportunities. And finding content that everyone enjoys is rarer and rarer and rarer every day. And it will now expose it to millions of more people, which is really exciting. “
