IT’S official: TV is moving out of its reality phase and into the game-show craze.

The latest move is ABC buying the rights to a longtime German game show called “Wanna Bet?

The show – which mixes celebrities with regular people betting whether they can pull off outrageous stunts – is an institution in Gernany.

Meanwhile, NBC is starting its third primetime game show this week, “Identity” (see story, opposite page), to go along with “Deal or No Deal” and “1 vs 100.”

CBS is said to have a new primetime version of “Name That Tune” in the works, too.
