The Mole is returning!

The good people over at TVSquad alerted the world (well, me) to the fantastic news today that ABC's The Mole will return to Television after a 4 year hiatus. This is the most exciting television news I have heard in a long time. This was like, the best game show on television in its day. No news on whether Anderson Cooper will return to host the show or not, as he did awesomely back then. (He's a serious news type guy now you know.)

This show was so good. It was like an intelligent version of The Amazing Race, and they would always have locations in these awesome old castles and and dungeons. You'd spend the whole season trying to figure out who the mole was and they would totally blow your mind when they revealed the real mole, because they so brilliantly disguised it. The first two seasons were great, then they went and pulled an Apprentice and did 2 seasons of celebrity Mole, which really was not that great. I think i'm going to try to get my hands on the first 2 seasons and DL it or something in honor of this great news.

The show will return with 10 episodes sometime in the summer according to Variety:

ABC has given a 10-episode order to Stone & Co. Entertainment ("Tim Gunn's Guide to Style") to revive the reality competish, which hasn't aired in four years.

Casting and pre-production have begun on the show, which will likely start shooting later this spring. ABC is looking to run "The Mole" this summer.

"This is a show we honestly love and people ask us about all the time," said ABC Entertainment alternative series senior VP John Saade, who added that plans were afoot to dig out "The Mole" even before the writers' strike.

"We were looking to bring the show back even when the writers were working," he said.
