I keep seeing ads for this new fall show and it looks interesting. It will have clues in each show that will lead a viewer to a million bucks. I wonder how much speculation/spoiling will happen online if everyone is trying for the money. With the Mole people love to post they have figured it out but will they do that with this show and tip others off to the money?
I was just wondering if any of you are planning to watch

I don't know anything about the show, but since it has "Nevada" in the title, I will watch.
I saw one ad a long time ago, didn't realize it was a game type show. The info you provided does sound like an interesting theory.

Pamy, what network? I haven't seen anything about this show. It sounds interesting, I'd probably check it out.

It will be on ABC, Thurs at 9pm...going to compete with CSI. I am surprised you haven't seen the ADs, I watch Alias and Practice on Sun nites and they have been showing a lot of ads for Push, Nevada during those shows.

Ah ha, ABC that explains it. I have boycotted ABC shows since they cancelled Once & Again. I did watch The Mole, but on a Canadian affiliate station.

Does it start this Thursday? I'm sure CSI is probably a rerun.

No Aria, it's one of the Fall shows, so I guess it'll start in September or later.

I plan to watch it, it looks like it could be good. Kinda exciting....

www.visitpush.com

I don't know how to make that a link, so if there are any kind mods out there that could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it!

I was driving home this morning (I work the graveyard shift) and saw a billboard for the show. It said "It Pays to Visit Push". Then it had a slot machine with the letters P, U, S, and H where the symbols would go if you had just won a jackpot. The website was in the lower left hand corner.
I haven't played around at the site yet, but it looks good.
If anyone is really interested, the billboard is by the McCarran airport tunnel. I saw it coming off the 215 due north, after the tunnel, on the right, by the exit for Russell Road.
I hope I was somewhat useful today. I am just so excited I feel the need to share!

Maesin, make a link by using

\ link { URL }

without the spaces. There's a really handy link called FORMAT at the top of the page that opens a window showing you all the formatting.

I'm getting quite excited at the thought of this show, it reminds me of that golden rabbit thing they had when I was very young. I bet the money will be somewhere out of the way, they couldn't realy get away with burying it in the middle of the city.

I wonder if that billboard is one of the first clues. I just can't wait to see how they are going to pull this show off. I would guess the money would be in a secured place in a bldg somewhere. It definetly would have to be where some of the people from the show could keep an eye on it. I wonder if it is actual cash or just a check, if it's a check it would be easier to hide and keep safe. Thanks for the info Maesin!

Kitt--Thank You! I didn't even think about going up to the format area...DOH!

I saw another billboard. By the time I realized what I was looking at, I missed what it really said. I think it was something about slow dancing in one of the bars with one of the characters. I will try to check it out this week.

I am glad to know there are some others out here that might be Push fans!

Just got this from Realiiity.com. Oh this show looks fun!!

Mystery Series “PUSH, NEVADA” to Debut on ABC (9/17/02)
Wed, Aug 28, 2002 03:02 PM PDT

Ben Affleck, Oscar-winning co-writer of “Good Will Hunting,” and Sean Bailey, his executive-producing partner on the Emmy-nominated hit “Project Greenlight,” take another bold step in the re-invention of modern entertainment with the provocative and offbeat mystery series “Push, Nevada,” premiering in a special preview, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET).

Matt Damon and Chris Moore are also executive producers on the series, which will move to its regular day and time THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Please note: This preview episode of “Push, Nevada” will repeat on Thursday, Sept. 19, at 8:00 p.m., ET, and will be followed by a new episode at 9:00 p.m., ET.

In the premiere episode, “The Amount,” written by Affleck and Bailey, mild-mannered IRS agent Jim Prufrock (Derek Cecil) travels to a remote desert town in search of missing money and stumbles on a place where mystery, danger and peculiar characters lurk around every corner. Everyone has a secret in Push, Nevada, but no one is talking, unless they’re telling Jim to get out of town -- fast. Every word, every sign, every gesture could hold a clue to solving the riddle of this tiny Nevada town.

The mystery begins when a fax from the Versailles Casino in Push is sent by accident (perhaps) to Jim, alerting him to a sizable accounting error -- and an embezzlement scheme involving a fortune in cash. Casino honcho Silas Bodnick (Jon Polito) refuses to talk about the missing money, so Jim’s investigation leads him to Push, where nothing is as it seems.

Push is a town where neighborhood couples indulge in synchronized romance each night at 9:15; where the only casino, the Versailles, pays out the biggest jackpots in the state; and where the lonely look for companionship at “Sloman’s,” a slow-dance bar. It’s there that Jim meets Mary (Scarlett Chorvat), a beautiful and enigmatic woman who tells him that the mystery of Push is, “like all the best secrets, not quick in the telling,” and warns him to go home before he gets hurt.

A determined man, Jim plans to find out what mystery lies behind Push, no matter what the risk. All along the way, a shadowy team of high-tech operatives monitors his every encounter with the town’s denizens.

Each episode will have new puzzles to follow and solve, along with a dazzling array of guest stars. In a next-generation twist, viewers following “Push, Nevada,” the mystery series, will also be able to play “Push, Nevada,” the game. Every episode of the show will hold clues to solving the game, beginning with the premiere episode, “The Amount.” At the end of the 13 episodes, the clues will add up to a solution, and the winning audience member will be able to claim the stolen money.

“Push, Nevada” stars Derek Cecil as Jim Prufrock and Scarlett Chorvat as Mary. Guest starring are Jon Polito as Silas Bodnick, Armand Assante as Mr. Smooth, Conchata Ferrell as Martha, Josh Todd as Job, Gary Grossman as Ira, Andy Kreiss as the Versailles clerk, Monty Bane as the nude man, Melora Walters as Grace, Tom Towles as BRB, Peggy Jo Jacobs as Ginger, Ryan Cutrona as the bartender, Grant Thompson as operative no 1, Kristen Lui as operative no. 2, Lynn Collins as BRB’s wife, Cheryl Francis as the friendly librarian, Corinne Reilly as the perfect librarian, Willie Gault as the shark-skin-suited man and Daniel Serafini-Sauli as the large masked man.

John McNaughton (“Lansky,” “Wild Things”) directed the premiere episode. Sean Bailey, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Chris Moore are executive producers of “Push, Nevada,” from LivePlanet in association with Touchstone Television.

Moon & Car...are you going to watch this show? We always seem to be on the same wavelength

Bad time slot... right after Survivor. People are really pumped up after that show. It is going to be hard to get people to change over to another network and get involved in another show immediately.

Wish it was on another night.

I read an article the other day in the Seattle Times Entertainment Section regarding Push, NV. Seems the Travel and Tourism Offices are being slammed with calls regarding "where is Push?" Too funny! People have been getting emails from the Chamber of Commerce and want to know all about this small town! ROFLMAO! FOLKS...THERE IS NO PUSH, NV!

Someone said they had seen the HS football team and cheerleaders on Good Morning America so it just HAD to be TRUE!

Isn't "marketing" a wonderful tool?

Push Times first official newspaper has been published. It's listed here

http://www.pushtimes.com/index.jsp

Don't miss reading the Sheriff's blotter, it really is amusing.

Also, tuesday's show will be repeated thursday right before a new second episode. The repeat of tuesday's show will show hints to the clues. Oooh, I hope this show doesn't stink and get pulled by ABC.
