Good to see they're STILL keeping Wheel and J! around...Who saw Weakest Link
and Love Connection coming??? Speaking of WL...Based on the fact that WL's
timeslots are 1 hour, it'll be Anne's version. Blockbusters and Trivia
Trap...Hmm...This should be interesting. For some reason I've got this
feeling it'll wind up being Rafferty's BB, just based with what we've seen
from past GSN vault pullings...Also note, Trivia Trap is one of the
30-40-ish shows GSN got back for the feast of favorites.

Ten bucks says that Blockbusters and Trivia Trap did real well in the
polling, and that's why they're on the schedule.

I could understand Blockbusters, but Trivia Trap doing well in the ratings?
Who else remembers it besides us???

As for Weakest Link, I think this is a positive step up towards getting
Concentration on the schedule, unless this the Birtish version instead...

And I thought there was a very small faction that remembered "Blankety
Blanks" and "Pass the Buck." Turns out that the majority of my earliest
visitors (bad plug: http://bsfp.sadro.com) grew up watching the shows
and [especially with BB] remembered them fondly.

That, or they thought Trivia Trap was Russian Roulette except shaped
like a big wheel of cheese with springs and metal bars for contestants
who don't do well.

These pairings strike me as odd. It's my (crude) understanding that that in
any given hour block of television, you schedule shows that are
complimentary of each other, because they may share similar audiences. I
would think that Press Your Luck would have been paired with LMAD, given the
decadance involved in both shows. That would have left the other two
morning hours with complimentary pairings (one trivia block and one celeb
block)

Maybe I'm just spouting BS playing amateur programmer -- it just seems kinda
odd.

Separate note: Up to eight hours of originals daily. They're closing in on
their goal.

>Good to see they're STILL keeping Wheel and J! around...Who saw Weakest Link

Sorry to see Perry CARD SHARKS go (not quite as sorry about Eubanks' version),
but at least it went on enough of a run that we got all the way through the
series at least once so that I could see the finale.

Rafferty's BB would suit me just fine if that were the case (and if the sked
stays intact for 66 straight days, they could always go back to Cullen's
version). OTOH, Cullen's version would be fine too (but would they have to
start at the beginning--AGAIN?!?).

BTW, this is effective which date?

Questions to think about:

Will PAX no longer carry reruns?
Will it be the American or British version?
Could they have erred an meant two, half-hour WLs with Gray?

Rialtus ~~ who thinks GSN shouldn't rename themselves the Chuck Woolery
Network quite yet.

Well, at least they're bringing in shows we don't see much. Most of us would
rather see Super Password or CHain Reaction than TT, but still. I guess
Trebek's TTTT will reach the end by January, right?

>Noon: *WEAKEST LINK*
>1:00: *LOVE CONNECTIO/N*

THe Woolery version was watchable(when not USA-Liveized), but if it's the 1998
Pat Bullard edition, it pales in comparison to the original LC. Just don't let
them acquire Studs, or else the people that chastized me for the March 2000
prank I pulled here will have the last laugh :) WL isn't a bad addition, albeit
recent.

But losing both runs of Card Sharks for either show fucking sucks :/

I also notice Whammy down to once a day, too.

[Don Howard]

Did you notice that the schedule posted above shows Whammy! at 2:00
in the afternoon and that's it? Nothin' in prime time.

[Jim]

Are there enough Weakest Link episodes to keep from boredom seeting in
quickly? As I recall the number of Anne episodes, they could be
repeating in a matter of weeks.

[Doug]

>I guess
>Trebek's TTTT will reach the end by January, right?

Mid-December, I think. I'm pretty sure that there's about 5 or 6 weeks of
shows left, so the last one should air around 12/13 or 12/18.

Only seemed like a year to year and a half at the most. Wasn't it on 2-3 nights
a week in 2001? But then again, we had a shitload of preemptions(Olympics,
9/11,Emmy's etc)

Okay, BB I can maybe see getting a good number of votes, but Trivia
Trap? Hell, no! Who on earth actually remembers that show besides
us?

It will be quite a treat to see that again (I've only seen one
episode, and that's because I taped it by accident!) and get some new
blood on the schedule. But Love Connection? Somehow, I don't really
consider this a game show.

The Weakest Link? Well, I guess they were looking for a companion to
Greed. Nevertheless, for right now, since it's a show currently
airing, I probably won't be watching it (hell, the Anne Robinson
version started just two years ago!).

You know, with all of these new shows they're getting, why don't they
take some of that money and spend it on getting the rest of those PYL
episodes? Aren't these reruns quite popular? Quite frankly, I'm
tired of seeing the '84 run the zillionth time! (Don't give the
definitive answer: to piss the Tomarkenites off! If you're going to
answer it, give a serious answer).

So, there you have it. That's all from me for now.

I think they're looking just to run some shorter-lived shows in the morning
slots, hence TTTT91 now.

>But Love Connection? Somehow, I don't really

That's a long-term debate here. I say it isn't, but it was still
watchable(well, the 1998-99 revival paled in comparison to the original)

Not a bad choice, but recent.

Axing Card Sharks altogether isn't too nice either :/

I think they should do this, whether they do or not is another story.

I guess PYL's popularity on GSN has cooled off since Whammy's ratings lost
steam after it bowed

Unless they are importing episodes of either the U.K. or Austrailian
editions of that show, I'm assuming these will be back-to-back re-run episodes
of the daily syndicated U.S. version that's hosted by George Gray, which would
make the most sense for that time slot. (And I'm wondering if they just might
pull a bigger audience in the Greater Cincinnati area than the first-run
episodes do that currently air on WCPO-TV approximately 12 hours and 37 minutes
after the GSN episodes do.)

«««SUN: 9:00 PM: Weakest Link

Here, I'm expecting re-runs of the hour-long episodes that originally aired
on NBC and were hosted by Anne Robinson -- until they got pre-empted by
late-running NBA basketball games that network was airing last spring. (Now if
NBC had put them on at 9 P.M. Eastern Time on Sunday nights instead of 8 as GSN
will be doing…)

(And now, a notice to you college kids whom I saw on those syndie WL
episodes I taped from WCPO-TV last week: For your reported of taking of my
"Weakest Link Drinking Game" and actually trying to play it with some of the
late Art Fleming's "potent potables," which undoubtedly led to your sorry
performance on those shows, you're going to get it in a forthcoming article of
mine!)

[Emperor Blitz]

I'm suddenly very glad I don't have GSN. This is a horrible schedule, if only
for the shitty addition of "Love Connection" which is not a game show.

What next? More Dating Game crap?

Robinson Weakest Link? Give me a break, that version can't hold a candle to
George Gray's version. And I wonder just how many of those we'll cycle through
before we hit the celeb shows.

I'm not looking forward to those new original either. I'd like to see more
classics in a perfect world, but GSN is programming to a wider audience, or so
they think.

It ISN'T GOING TO BE THE GEORGE GRAY VERSION

If it were, on Adlink, it would have 2 Weakest Link's SEPERATED by a line,
to show that they are 2 seperate eps. It only has One Weakest Link, no
seperation, therefore, it'll be a 1 hour episode, which Means either Anne or
international

Hey, if GSN is heading towards an "all-original" format, will it end
up resulting in a new channel called "GSN Classic" (for the
non-original shows)? Or is that just wishful thinking?

The originals are doing decently for them, with the possible exception of
WHammy!. I do agree that at least one of the airings of CS should have been
kept. I don't see Trivia Trap getting them terribly high ratings, and Love
Connection is very very marginally a game show at best.

A few years ago, we thought it was wishful thinking. Now it seems a
possibility, what with MTV 2, VH1 Classic, VH1 Country, and so on. Probably
not for five or ten years, however.

This week's Entertainment Weekly finally caught up to what my wife and I
have known for a while: VH1 Classic is just about the best channel EVER.
Pretty much nothing but 80s videos all the time, and the only "ads" are just
promos for other VH1 programming. I don't understand the economic model
that makes something like this viable but sure, if the music channels can do
it, then GSN might someday too.

I saw the same article. I didn't even know this channel existed; it turns out
we're going to be receiving it next month. And it's frightening that I'm
singing along with "Human Touch" while on the treadmill. (Probably more
frightening to the others in the gym.)

But sure, why not? Perhaps an all-G&T channel isn't as far-fetched as we once
thought. (The Hot Potato network? Gahh!)

This is the 1996 Fox version of the show-Big Deal...GSN just didn't
rename it for adlink. Yes, it will be repeated.

> And what was Trivia Trap? Seen the name tossed around before, but have no clue

Trivia Trap was a game where contestant walked along a "boardwalk" of
21 squares. They started on square 1, and had to answer questions.
However, the champion from the previous day got to set up 3 "traps".
If a contestant answered a question wrong on a "trap" square, they
lost automatically and fell through the trap door. Kind of like the
"Pot of Gold" end game on Illinois Instant Riches, and the predecessor
to Russian Roulette, sans the roulette wheel.

1. Nice to see Newlywed Game reduced to a mere two eps and three airings
each day.

2. The trimming back of CHSq to a single early-morning airing (for those of
us west of the Rockies, anyway) does not bode well for that show's future on
GSN (unless this is a tactic designed to prevent running the current 150-ep
batch any further into the ground before adding to it or fetching a fresh
round).

3. TRIVIA TRAP!!!! WOO-HOO!!!!

4. Who else is just trembling with shock (S-H-O-C-K) over the Woolery Block
arriving on Saturdays? Boy, sure would be great to see two other shows added
to that list..... :)

5. "Love Connection". Ugh.

6. Twice a day. Ugh, ugh.

7. Hoping we'll get BBC WLs and Cullen BBs, but we'll hafta see 'bout dat. I
thought PAX had exclusivity on NBC WLs, though.....

8. Afternoon slot for "W!"? Bet da Perf's polisihing Der Newtenheimer's
resume already.

9. No MG9x. :)

10. No CS. :(

11. More $100K Pyramid. :((

You're kidding, right? You're not even in the same area code. TT was a

This might also be the reasoning behind Whammy being pushed to one airing a

Let me ask this question. When the fuck (if ever again) are we going to see any
version of TPIR? Seriously. I thought with Frefuckle in charge we kinda had a
chance of getting it back(unlike Pearson)

If they are gonna bring back a new version of Match Game, then why the hell not
put tpir back on gsn(or some channel of their choice). I mean , get fucking

Let's Look at the Statistics:

Password Plus (Kennedy): Aired Sept 2002, Prior to that, with the exception
of about 7-8 eps, hadn't been seen on GSN in ages

Super Password (from 1986): See above

TattleTales (80s): Aired Oct 2002 - 5 Jan 2003: Prior to, The Skipped eps
aired: Hadn't been seen in ages, the non-skipped eps (Assuming there were
some) had been seen in early 2002

To Tell The Truth (Trebek, Soon to be Elliott Most Likely): Aired Oct 2002 -
5 Jan 2003: See P+/SP

Blockbusters:
- If Cullen, will be the first Airing Since May 2001
-If Rafferty, will be the first time...In ages (There's the key)

Trivia Trap - First time, you guessed it - In Ages

It'll be Rafferty's. I'd bet a brand new sarcasm detector for everyone in
ATGS (Including Lurkers, but not trolls) on it.

There's still a great deal of Kennedy's run YET to be seen on GSN.

>Super Password (from 1986): See above

I think they aired all but about the final year of SP pre-dark period. They
were in February 1988 or so in October 1997 when the DP began.

Rafferty BB hasn't been seen since the Dark Period, but one or two episodes of
Trivia Trap have popped up since then.

They won't air Rafferty's CS, but they'll air his G-d awful (when compared to

I love that channel as well...actually got to see Wham!'s cheesy "Bad

Queen's videos from the 1984-1991 era (I've never seen It's A Hard

And what the previous replier said about GSN Classics being a

May I ask why you would say that GSN won't air Rafferty's CS? They've
aired his version in its entirety in the past so I don't understand
why you would suggest it couldn't happen again at some point.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but unless the economics were to change
dramatically, that's precisely what a new GSN channel WOULDN'T do. These
"bonus" channels that we're talking about are almost always made up of extra
product that the channel already owns (Toon Disney, Turner's Boomerang) or
can get for free or near-free (all those music video channels). If GSN had
the interest or ability to acquire something as high-profile as TPIR, you
can bet it would show up on the main channel.

Realizing ANY talk about a GSN2 is wildly hypothetical, the FAR more likely
scenario is that such a channel would be made up almost exclusively of
Sony-owned product. There's a ton of Stewart and Barry and Griffin and
Barris shows knocking around the warehouse, some of which they've been
sitting on for a few years. Maybe the black and whites, if rights can be
maintained cheaply. But an operation that would be, by definition, even
tinier than the current GSN would not have as its mandate going out and
buying other old series.

Are you sure of this? I first got GSN in October 2001, and could swear I
saw some Kennedy P+ eps in the 7pm ET time slot while GSN was still
running the P+/SP block.

> Super Password (from 1986): See above

I have no idea which episodes they showed at the end of 2001. Also,
neither show ran for less than a year, which I thought was the original
poster's point -- that it's been a long time since GSN has aired shows
which had very short runs. (Yes, I know you mentioned they showed
TTTT90.)

And maybe the folks at GSN will please us ATGSers by not renewing Whammy,
which will make that another regularly-aired show not to have run for at
least a year. :-)

That, and they should get the rights to the Davidson Pyramid, if only to
give the Clark $100K Pyramid a break for a year.

BTW: How long did the $1.98 Beauty Show run originally? I remember seeing
episodes of it when I was about 5 or 6 years old, but don't remember too
many episodes of it.

Oh? And why not? Encore wasn't on "most cable systems" when it brought out
its multiplex in the early 90s; the wider variety of programming that move
made available was one of the key factors in expanding the Starz/Encore
package's reach to what it is now.

As to whether or not it's in "most" wired homes, GSN claims to be in more
than fifty million homes. Assuming some general figures about the cable
audience (~110 million TV homes, ~67% cable/sat penetration), those numbers
indicate GSN is in* about two-thirds of non-broadcast-only homes.

Ok, here's a crazy thought: w/the 80 (?) NBC primetime WL eps, @ 6 eps
per wk, that gives you 13.3 wks of programming. Rafferty BB ran 66 (?)
episodes, which @ 5 eps per wk gives you 13.2 wks of programming. My
guess: they have another schedule change 13 wks after the new one is
in place.

Perhaps it would help if I actually replied first.

Your math is...er...a bit off.

15 weeks is how long WL would last at 6 episodes per week with 80 episodes.
Rafferty's BB ran for 85 episodes. At 5 a week, that would also be 15 weeks.
