Shields and Yarnell pitched a few different shows to CBS: "Girl in a Box" which featured Yarnell performing ballet while trapped in an ever-decreasing invisible box as Shields tries to free her; The other was "Windy Rope Pull," a mime game show where contestants had to avoid various mime hazards. It was similar to Japan's "Takeshi’s Castle."
Initially CBS declined on the shows but decades later Netflix optioned the rights and folded both into "Squid Games."
I forgot all about Shields and Yarnell.
Didn't know they learned from Marcel M.
