Ashton Kutcher’s first project for ABC, a sitcom called “Miss Guided,” apparently isn’t being renewed. But the actor and producer has two more programs in the pipeline: a game show called “Opportunity Knocks” and an untitled beauty pageant show.
Ashton Kutcher, center, on the set of “Miss/Guided.” In addition to acting, Mr. Kutcher has formed Katalyst Films with Jason Goldberg. (Vivian Zink/ABC)Mr. Kutcher, who got his start in “That ’70s Show” on Fox and is starring in the movie “What Happens in Vegas,” is increasingly pursuing projects through his production company Kataylst Films. “Miss Guided” first appeared on ABC in March and lasted for seven episodes. It did not appear on the network’s fall schedule.
But “Opportunity Knocks,” another project of Mr. Kutcher’s, did earn one of the two new time slots on ABC’s slate. Here’s how ABC describes the family trivia show:
“We will be showing up on America’s doorstep and testing how well they know their family. Our mobile team will arrive at ‘Anywhere, America’ in a semi-truck that is full of flat screen TVs, new furniture and big cash prizes that the family can win right there. We will take the action of a game show directly into our contestants’ homes, setting up shop in a family’s front lawn. The instant our host, JD Roth, knocks on the front door, the game will begin.”

He said “Opportunity Knocks” combines “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” with “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?,” making it a compatible Tuesday lead-in to “Dancing With the Stars.”
Mr. Kutcher is working with Tyra Banks on an untitled midseason project. ABC calls it “a beauty pageant unlike any you’ve ever seen.”
