The falling though a trap door when answering wrong is not an Israeli original idea, it was taken from Ellen DeGeneres Show, she does that many times while asking the contestants questions.

and they wont last long...Israel'i's don't have the brains for anything but stupid, juvenile'game shows'...they can't deal with 'truth' and adult themes. especially in drama ... TATA

"Homeland" the series on Showtime is the American version of an Israeli TV series. However we also have the excrutiatinly boring series on The Jewish Channel called "SRUGIM" which is the small head covering worn by the somewhat orthodox. This series is about 30 ish Israelis who think only of marriage...no one has sex..and the acting is atrocious.
