There's not a show quite like it. But as Jay says, it's a bit of a combination of lots. There's Cash in the Attic is a BBC daytime show in which someone looks to raise a relatively modest amount by auctioning off their heirlooms and so on. The big tension comes when their prized possessions do or

It's been a while since Fox reality Prince of Darkness Mike Darnell has come up with a really wacky reality show idea, presumably because Kevin Reilly's been keeping him on a short leash, but he's got something now--"Buried Treasure," a series in which the Keno twins from "Antiques Roadshow" visit

To me, what seems clear is that a single number - from Nielsen, Optimedia, or whoever - is probably not enough. While some kind of new methodology derived by an ad agency is interesting in its own right, the reality is that the ad sales that are being negotiated right now will be based around Niel
