Saturday 7/7 has the same schedule from 8:00AM-8:00PM, but from 8:00PM through
4:00AM is the weekday nighttime schedule.
Sunday, everything is the same from 8:00AM-8:00PM until these changes:
8:00PM The $100,000 Pyramid (Clark)
8:30PM Hollywood Showdown (Newton)
9:00PM Win TV/Family Feud (Dawson)
9:30PM I've Got a Secret (Moore)
10:00PM To Tell the Truth (Collyer)
10:30PM Password (Ludden)
11:00PM The Joker's Wild (Barry)
11:30PM Match Game (Rayburn)
Missing are:
Both versions of 3's a Crowd
This is extremely puzzling to me. Why would GSN do this with their schedule. My
guess is maybe this is just a temporary filler, because the schedule is stopped
at Sunday 7/8. Strange.

The schedule mentioned had the 4PM-8PM shows intact. But why the heck would GSN
get rid of WOF and J!, Sony's flagship shows, and even $25K Pyramid and CBS
Joker's Wild and Mall Masters.
I don't think the schedule in question is right, it's just a bad error on GSN's
website part.

My apologies, I didn't catch that the late afternoon blocks remain unchanged. In
fact, that almost makes the rest of the schedule make a little more sense, since it
would appear that Feud, Match Game and Newlywed are also getting the "block"
treatment.
As for Wheel and Jeopardy!, I guess the logic might be that the two shows haven't
been rested since the network debuted, and both are easily available five days a
week (or more) on your local station. Still, just on principle, I don't like this
constant tinkering with the schedule.
--Matt

This isn't good. They're axing $25K Pyramid in favor of a second airing of
$100K, axing CBS TJW which we're lucky to even see again. Good news: Mall
Masters and HP are gone.

If it is true, also, we'll see the addition of another half hour to "Sunday
Night in Black and White", though.
This is odd...I checked later dates over the weekend, and not only did they
come up w/no problems, it appeared to be the same schedule as the current
one.

My thoughts after the fact are that since they are getting rid of the
G-T library (we must assume this is still true since there have been no
announcements made about the library miraculously being renewed), they
want to put on whatever they can of that library. Once they lose those
rights, then you'll see all the other shows like $25K PYramid, Wheel,
Jeopardy, etc. come back. I could always be wrong.
After all the hoopla with finding the CBS TJW episodes, axing them now
would be a REALLY bonehead move!

I don't think the Password/Bob blocks are affected b/c they fall under the
unchanging 4-8 bracket. Also, one should remember that 7/1 is a Sunday....

The only hoopla about TJW was created by us. The ratings may well be
terrible.

I can't imagine a Game Show Network owned by Sony not including their two most
important(certainly most lucrative) titles, WOF and Jeopardy!. THEIR recent
revivals of Newlywed and Dating, even when they returned to their original
formats in season two, were marginal successes at best.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I'm thisclose to seeing the end of the Perry run

Dish not an option. Moving not an

I guess I'll have to be happy with what's left.

And what are you going to do if they remove it? Are you going to cry?

Keep in mind that it may just be a mistake with the schedule.
Until I see those changes on GSN's actual schedule, I say these changes are BULLFUNKY.

Err... these changes are coming from GSN's schedule as it's currently
stored at their website.
Either this is what they are planning starting 7/2/01 -- or they know we
like to look ahead at the GSN schedule at the website and they're
yanking our chain. :)

I've said this many, many times, but here's a thread where it bears repeating yet again.
The ONLY official schedule for GSN is the one that you can access normally through their website. If you
type in a URL for a later date, you need to remember that that schedule is not "official" and could be
subject to change. There's a human being typing in those listings, and that person is only concerned that
the normally accessible information is accurate. At least once, that person even deliberately put in wrong
information as an April Fool prank, but corrected it in time for it to appear on the website. I think it's
safe to say that incomplete or accidentally misleading information will be stored there too.
Having said that, let me also add that the changes under discussion are imminent. They may not, however,
be exactly what you see right now. We'll know for sure when it gets a lot closer.
Oh, and the Family Feud special is still on. Trust me.

Well, sure, yank my disclaimer where I said that someone at GSN might be
pulling our chain... makes it easier to sound authoritative. :)
That being said, I think they'll LOSE audience if the schedule on the
website happens.
Of course, you have to keep in mind that this is probably not final,
because we're all forgetting four words.
LET'S MAKE A DEAL.
Didn't Steve Beverly (IFOS) quote Monty Hall as saying he thought LMAD
would go on GSN fairly quickly?
Wild guess: LMAD debuts July 2, and that's the LAST thing GSN wants us
to know right now. :)
>Oh, and the Family Feud special is still on. Trust me.
I'll take your word for it. I really can't believe they'd even think of
pulling Game Show Saturday Night, so why wouldn't it be "on"?
Rob
P.S. I had another thought. Since the person who maintains the GSN
website is believed to read here, is it possible (s)he saw all the
messages to Mr. Cronin asking for this, that, and the other and created
a schedule based on those people who aren't satisfied yet -- as a prank?
I wasn't aware that you could go past more than a week on the new
schedule with the newer format
Just when I thought things were getting better....how do you know the
changes are actually imminent? Can't they leave the damn schedule
alone for once? It's not too bad right now. All it really needs is
some minor tweaking here and there, NOT a major overhaul. If this
happens, it's definately the worst thing they've done for quite a
while. This network seems to be going more downhill by the day - I
can only hope that these changes are a mistake and WON'T actually take
place.
Re. "Joker's Wild" and other shows - it would be nice if they could
actually finish a run for once. They've got so many shows in their
library they've shown only part of, and yank it off the schedule
before it's done. Shows like "Password Plus", "Break the Bank",
"$25,000 Pyramid" and many others either they keep re-starting from
the beginning, or take it off totally and don't bring it back. It
would be nice to actually see a complete run of something.
Ouch....
As of next month, will they have shown the entire CBS run of MG7x since
December 1994?
>It

They're pretty close to that with Card Sharks(Perry), less than two months to
the end. Hot Potato of course, they're in the third cycle.
>Can't they leave the damn schedule

There are a few things they could do(Ax Hot Potato, ax the 10AM Showdown
airings, and maybe replace one Dawson Feud airing and the 4PM repeat of 11PM
Newlywed Game). But really, it's not a bad daily schedule. Most of the work
they could do on the schedule is for the weekend schedule.
Just use this address:

...and enter the year, month, and date you'd like to get listings for at the
corresponding points in the address.
Chuck Donegan (The Illustrious "Chuckie Baby")
Can you imagine their ratings? Only 12 different games? Come on, it's a game
show network; therefore, there should be way more than 12 game shows on it!
Well, if this is true, and GSSN is gone (I've really got into those, too!),
then I guess it's on to either Nick GAS, or actually doing something productive
:-)
APD (West Chicago High School's biggest game show fan!)
Ok, here are my thoughts. I checked out TVGrid.com, clicktv.com and
tvguide.com and they only show listings up through the 28th of this
month. In the next few days, we should know if this schedule is true
or not. If it is, it could always be worse. But, how many fucking
times a day can they possibly show Dawson Family Feud episodes?
"Possibly?" 48.
