Alright, listen up, folks. You know that feeling you get when you're racing through the grocery store, tossing items into your cart like a pro? Well, buckle up because Supermarket Sweep is making a triumphant return to our TV screens! This iconic game show, where contestants go wild in a mock grocery store trying to fill their carts with the priciest items, first hit the airwaves back in 1965. And now, thanks to FremantleMedia, it's coming back with a fresh twist for a whole new generation.

Why This Show Is a Big Deal

Let me break it down for you. Vasha Wallace, Fremantle’s Executive Vice President of Global Acquisitions and Development, had this to say: “The timing couldn’t be better to bring back this all-time favorite game show that’s been a hit around the world for years.” Modern technology is giving the show a major upgrade, making it more relevant for today's audiences. “With the buzz we’re already seeing, we’re confident everyone will be just as thrilled about its return as we are,” Wallace added. Translation: it's going to be a blast!

A Trip Down Memory Lane

Let’s rewind for a moment. The original Supermarket Sweep aired on ABC in 1965 and was hosted by the one and only Bill Malone. Unfortunately, it only lasted two seasons, so most of you probably remember the versions that aired on Lifetime from 1990 to 1995 and later on PAX (now Ion Television) from 2000 to 2003. Those were hosted by David Ruprecht, who brought his own flair to the show. Now, we’re stepping into uncharted territory with this new version. We don’t know who’ll be hosting yet or even which network will air it, but one thing’s for sure: it’s got the official stamp of approval from Henry Howard, son of Al Howard, the creator of the 1990 revival.

Henry Howard had this to say: “In Supermarket Sweep, one lucky team competes for bonus money, but here’s the thing—there are no real losers. Everyone’s having a blast.” He went on to express his excitement about Fremantle’s decision to revive the show. “I can’t wait to work with their incredible team. To celebrate Supermarket Sweep’s return, I think I’ll hit the grocery store myself!” (Henry, we’ll save you a spot in the checkout line!)
