http://abc.go.com/primetime/themole After a 4-year hiatus, The Mole is returning to primetime television next Monday, June 2nd at 10/9c on ABC. An Emmy award winning program, The Mole gathers 12 players from across the United States and from all walks of life, including a lawyer, a neuroscientist, a model, and a machinist, and takes them to exotic international locations. As the players work together to complete missions that add money to a group pot, one of them, The Mole, will try everything they can to sabotage the games, while keeping their true identity hidden from the other players. At the end of each episode, the players take a quiz about the identity of The Mole. The player who scores the lowest on the quiz is eliminated. By the final episode, only 3 will remain: the winner, the loser, and The Mole. In the end, the honor, the glory, and all the money will go to the one who can correctly answer the question...who is The Mole? Viewers at home can play along by looking for hidden clues placed in the show and this season promises to include new interactive elements. Jon Kelley (Extra, The National Sports Report) hosts. If you're familiar with the previous civilian seasons (1 & 2) hosted by Anderson Cooper or the celebrity seasons (3 & 4) hosted by Ahmad Rashad, or if the only Mole you've seen are the ads during your favorite show, then check out these videos: - The Mole 1 http://youtube.com/watch?v=7RGg5Frfa2o&feature=PlayList&p=0645AE75B05A8CC6&index=0&playnext=1 - The Mole 2: The Next Betrayal http://www.veoh.com/userVideos.html?numResults=10&username=grimsqueaker&offset=70 So are any of you excited for the return of The Mole? Have you seen any of the ads on TV, in theaters, or in magazines? I heard about a big ad in the newest issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine, but have yet to see it for myself. The only ads I've seen are the commercials on TV (you can watch them all, along with player interview videos on ABC's site linked at the top of this post). What are your thoughts on the original Mole music? I thought it was one of the best TV soundtracks. It really captured the spy/sabotage theme of the show. Oh, just one more question...
Actually, I joined about a month ago. I posted to discuss the show for anyone interested. I'll name my pick for The Mole if others are willing to discuss their thoughts. And yes, it's a TV show.
The show premieres tonight at 10pm ET on ABC. It looks like ABC has posted a clue up on their site for the first episode. It reads: E_E_E_ No clue what that means...what do you think? Also, picks for The Mole?
