Gridlock is an Irish television game show, hosted by Derek Mooney, that premiered on RTÉ on September 14, 1998.[1] Gridlock replaced the long running series Blackboard Jungle which was hosted by Ray D'Arcy.[1]
The show lasted only one season. There were two teams of two people, each team representing a secondary school. One player on each team would answer general knowledge questions, while the other would try to achieve "gridlock" on a puzzle diagram.
Due to the complex nature of the puzzle, viewers, the studio audience, and sometimes even contestants, struggled to follow the show. As a result of this, ratings dwindled and Gridlock was canceled after just one series.
