Riot is an American game show comedy television series from Fox and based upon the Australian Slide Show television series, [1] itself based upon the Arthur-created French program Vendredi tout est permis ("On Fridays, Anything Goes with Arthur", aka Anything Goes), where two teams of celebrities competed in a number of challenges and games, including one on a huge set that tilts at 22½ degrees. [2] [3] Hosted by Rove McManus, weekly episode "guest" captains include a rotating set of actors, with Andy Buckley and Steve Carell "captaining" the premiere episode. [4] [5] Riot was canceled by Fox on June 12, 2014. [6]
The show's concept places two teams of celebrities and comedians in a series of competitions that have the teams sing, dance and create comedy sketches while overcoming multiple mental and physical obstacles. Instructed by guest team captains, two teams of comedians are instructed to create and participate in a set of unscripted improv skits, some of which take place on a set tilted at 22-1/2 degrees [7] or some of which take place in complete darkness with the audience able to observe through night-vision cameras while the contestants blunder about.
The series "regular" main cast includes [8]

[2] Fox ordered 8 episodes, [3] which were filmed during February 2014 and premiered on May 13, 2014.

Riot received mixed to positive reviews from television critics, on Rotten Tomatoes, the show has a 57% based on 7 reviews [18] and a Metacritic score of 63 out of 100 based on 5 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". [19]
Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times wrote "There’s no describing how hysterical this is; you have to see it." [20] Diane Werts of Newsday wrote "Is there anything great here? No. Is it goofy fun? Yes. BOTTOM LINE Silly fun in the summertime." [21] Brian Lowry of Variety wrote "If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (and television), those responsible for Whose Line Is It Anyway? should be positively red-faced watching Riot, Fox’s amped-up, exhausting new improv show. Lowry expanded that even with the creativity and comedy of the various skits, the show's "stunt-enhanced physical gags" do not quite merit the name "Riot". [22] Neil Drumming of Salon said the "premiere felt like harmless summer programming, though a bit manic for my tastes." [23]
Shine America's parent company represents the format internationally, and apart from the Australian and French versions, local-language versions of the show have screened in Thailand, Finland, Portugal, Denmark, Spain, Brazil, Ukraine and Romania. [5] Vietnam
After just four weeks, Fox pulled Riot from its Tuesday night schedule due to extremely poor ratings. [24] The show's initial ratings and viewer response was mixed, debuting mid-May with a 0.5 rating in the 18–49 demographic with 1.34 million viewers, [25] and for episodes 3 and 4, Riot drew a 0.4 rating in the same demographic. [26] Fox stated they would eventually find a better time-slot for the show, [27] and will fill the Tuesday slot with re-runs of more popular shows.
The international rights are produced by Satisfaction – The Television Agency and distributed by Endemol Shine Group. [28] [29] [30]
