Lateral Thinking Puzzles - third time is best!

No. No. Yes.

Was the second broadcast on a channel / subscription service that was entirely advertisement-free? Or did it have advertisers, just not a specific one?

Did the original iteration of the show have jokes, plot elements, etc. that only made sense if the audience was already familiar with a particular product or advertisement? So, when remaking it for an audience in a different country, they had to add a scene that provided this context?

Second one was ad-free, and AFAIK the second audience didn’t need anything explained to them due to unfamiliarity.

Did the scene refer to the lack of an advertiser?
Was the scene full of fake products?

No to both.

When you say lack of advertiser, is it:
Lack of product placement advertising?
Lack of commercial advertising?

I believe the second broadcast lacked both.

Were these both live broadcasts?

Yes, they were.

Live broadcasts does limit it down some.

Were these shows associated with a holiday, or perhaps a season (thinking broadcast in southern hemisphere vs. northern hemisphere for change in seasons or daylight savings time)

Were these shows associated with sports in some sense?

Well, holiday/season, no; sports, in a sense, yeah.

Sports, in a sense…..

Is there a specific sport or is it more generalized?

Is it a team sport?

this sounds ‘non-traditional’ sport…whatever ‘in a sense’ means. Does the sport heavily feature a ball?

Would you characterize it more as involved with a ‘competition’ rather than a traditional ‘sport’?

Scripted scene plus live sport. Is it wrestling?

Did the new script need to clarify that something was not a particular product or service? Perhaps something in another country that people that would automatically assume was a particular brand or service?

Specifics, not generalizations; not a team; not a ball; your last question there is kind of tricky, but I guess I’d have to say there’s some stuff that’s ‘traditional sport’ and some that’s not.

There’s some wrestling.

Nope.

Was it an international competition?
Was the Olympics involved?

I don’t believe it was either.

Was this any kid of recreation of a past event, real or fictional?
