I was wondering what do you think about Game Show Network? Do you think its gotten away from airing classic shows and into the reality stage? What do you think of the programming overall? Would you like to see more old tv game shows or remakes of classic shows?

no question it has jumped the shark

GSN has jumped the shark ever since it went from being Game Show Network to now GSN and not to mention, they've crunched the credits, too

I think they need to let other networks air reruns of Game Shows like they did back in the day

CBN/FAM, USA, etc.

It's a shame @ what GSN has become, I use to watch it all the time, but ever since they started bringing in Carnie Wilson, Jerry Springer and ever since they renewed Catch 21 and ever since they started rerunning Deal or No Deal and ever since they brought back 1 vs. 100

I just gave up on it completely

I mean, I liked the 1st Season of Catch 21, but then, the 2nd Season, it got terrible, IMO

and as for 1 vs. 100, NBC made a HUGE Mistake cancelling the show and GSN is doin' a TERRIBLE job w/the show

Deal or No Deal - 1 word OVERRATED!!

Pay TV has jumped the shark!:lol:

Here are my top 3 best and worst eras of GSN since getting the channel in September 1997:

BEST:
1. April 15, 2002-June 15, 2003: This was when Bert Convy's Win, Lose, or Draw & Peter Marshall's Hollywood Squares debuted on the schedule, and original shows that were actually fun to watch (such as Lingo, Russian Roulette, Friend or Foe?, and Cram) premiered during this time.

2. April 4, 2005-January 6, 2008: During this time, GSN brought out several classics not shown in years including Bill Rafferty's Blockbusters and Card Sharks, Password Plus, Super Password, and To Tell the Truth 90.

3. October 11, 1997-April 17, 1998: Yes, the Dark Period. There were much more classics on the schedule than you think, including WOF and J! (both from the 1992-93 seasons), three Dick Clark Pyramids ($20K, $25K, and $100K), Tic Tac Dough, Joker's Wild, Hot Potato, Go!, Family Feud 94, and luckily, The Price Is Right (Barker and Kennedy versions) as well.

WORST:
1. March 15, 2004-April 3, 2005: Kenny vs. Spenny, Fake-A-Date, Vegas Weddings Unveiled. Need I say more?

2. November 2009-present: Having all post-1998 shows on the weekends does not sway me, sorry. The only original show I care for right now is 1 vs. 100 with the lovely Carrie Ann Inaba.

3. April 4, 2000-May 25, 2001: This was when GSN lost the rights to TPIR, and there was far too much Newlywed Game on the schedule, and weird originals such as DJ Games. Only saving graces during this time were WOF (1989-90 season), J! (1996-97 season), and Hollywood Showdown was okay to watch as well.

In this thread, a poster mentions GSN's Dark Period. Wikipedia also mentions it but I dont think it says what it is. Btw, if anything, do you think GSN is in a dark period now with newer shows, credits that are cut etc.?

I was a huge fan of GSN when I 1st got it back in 1998 in fact it GSN was the reason I got digital cable in the 1st place I was so happy to see all the classic game shows tic tac dough jokers wild etc. Now Mutch like tv land GSN is crap channel nowI wish it would go back to game show network and show classic game shows 24/7 I would love to see some old episodes of the price is right with bob baker and some classic episodes of wheel of fortune



Thanks Matt

...started around the time they began scheduling repeats of "THE AMAZING RACE" overnight, effectively scuttling the last of their "Late Night Black and White" kinnies of shows like 'WHAT'S MY LINE?", "I'VE GOT A SECRET", "TO TELL THE TRUTH", "PASSWORD", "THE PRICE IS RIGHT", et. al. Repeats of "THE AMAZNG RACE", even at 3am(et) in the morning, were not what viewers wanted to see. And then, GSN added repeats of NBC's "DOG EAT DOG" (WHY?????) and {ugh} "SPY TV" [Ali Landry was the worst hostess of ANY game/reality show I've ever seen- every time she opened her mouth, her intellect fell out!].

Remember their ambitious Saturday evening lineup of "big" games a few years back, with "live" segments inbetween? That didn't last long....

I've also noticed that GSN has a habit of changing its evening schedule every three to four months or so. That's not very encouraging to people who expect some kind of "continuity" every once in a while....

:tv:

Jump it?I wish it would get eaten by one:lol: :lol: :lol: !

GSN used to be on my TV whenever I needed something to have in the background. Probably between late 2008 and late 2009. The channel now is completely unwatchable. I have no idea who decided to take over, but once they started that awful show with the daughter of the Beach Boys, I gave up. I've seen what they are doing now and it is hilarious.

Just air old Game Shows. God. How difficult is that?

GSN has long jumped the shark/boned the fish by now, IMO.

It jumped when:

- March 2004, Game Show Network becomes...GSN, originally calledthe Network of Games and began airing reality garbage such as The Amazing DIS-GRACE, Kenny v. Spenny, Dog Eat Dud, Vegas Weddings, Fake-a-Date w/ a washed-up loser from another stupid dating reality show, Poker Show galore and the penultimate crunching of the credits, not to mention even speding up some of the shows, too.

- Though 2006-08 or so saw influxes of classic game shows resurfacing.

- The reruns abuse of more 2000s game shows as well as too many reruns of all these million-dollar game shows.


In this thread, a poster mentions GSN's Dark Period. Wikipedia also mentions it but I dont think it says what it is.

The Dark Period was when GSN lost all the rights to the Goodson-Todman Library of shows.

And during that time they were showing game shows from the Barry-Enright Library (i.e., The Joker's Wild, Tic Tac Dough, Bullseye, Hot Potato, and some obscure shows most non-mega game shows fans would've never heard of such as Break the Bank (1976-77), The Hollywood Connection (1977-78), the Bob Stewart Library (The existing original $10,000 Pyramid eps., the $20,000 Pyramid, Jackpot!, Chain Reaction w/ Bill Cullen, GO! among shows), more of the Chuck Barris Library (other shows besides The Newlywed Game and The Dating Game such as The Gong Show, $1.98 Beauty Show, (The New) Treasure Hunt among shows.

It's virtually unwatchable now, and Sherri Shepherd is hands down the worst Newlywed Game host ever, so boring. Even the couples they choose to be on the show are boring. The only game show I liked was the revamped Whammy with Todd Newton, who's probably the best of the current crop of hosts they've had.

I love that description that you gave about the shows. Obviously, you didnt like them. I can see your point but at least they stayed on the ball by showing game shows. Not very good ones but its something. If I ran Game Show Network, sorry GSN, I'd pay, hell I'd overpay to get The Price Is Right and other old, great game shows. If that means overpaying the Goodson-Todman Library so be it!!!

If it's about those reality shows then yes I absolutely disliked them, especially Spy TV and Next ActionAction and the UN-American Dream Derby, one of the very worst reality show bombs GSN ever made.

But the classics as well as some of GSN's Originals such as Russian Roulette, Lingo (the Chuck Woolery version), Whammy!, Catch-21 (the 1st few seasons) will always rule!

Oh I forgot that during GSN's 1st Dark Period they also showed the Merv Griffin Library w/ vintage 1980s Jeopardy! a few eps. from the short-lived 1978-79 version of Jeopardy!, Super Jeopardy! and vintage Wheel of Fortune (the 1st 2 seasons from the Shopping Era, 1983-84; 1984-85) as well as Headline Chasers (Wink Martindale's 1st show he created (and also hosted at that time) since leaving Tic Tac Dough in 1985).

And some of those horrible reality shows make even the old-school worst game shows look good.

**** Yes, it did!

There's NO Classic Game Shows on there, I liked the older shows such as "To Tell The Truth", "Password", "What's My Line" (They should bring back this show with probably Greg Proops of "Whose Line" fame), "Card Sharks", and "Blockbusters".

And sometimes...Dark Ages for TV Stations are good....

Dont worry about GSN jumping the shark now because Lingo is back with a new host!!! Yes that is sarcasm.

I looove your sarcasm. :lol:


Yes. GSN, much like NAN and TV LAND has jumped the shark big time. I'm disappointed.

GSN has done so many stupid things, like when they started squeezing the end credits, and even worse, cutting them off, not to mention speeding up the episodes of some game shows.

But the real JTS moment came in 2009, when they lost the Goodson-Todman library, the single most diverse game show library in the history of game shows. They also began whoring out the same handful of shows over and over and over again, more than they ever had before.

I used to post on the GSN forums, and there were some great people there, and I used to have so much fun there, but it was lost forever, ruined by an evil man in Casey Abell. All he does is shove ratings down other peoples' throats, and comes off as someone who knows it all, but in reality, he doesn't. He is very snobby and bossy. I also cannot stand anyone who worships him 24/7.

There were several reasons why I quit the GSN forums, but the always ignorant and arrogant Casey Abell was the main reason. I'll never forget the thread asking if 2009 was the network's worst year ever. He hogged most of the thread, and basically came off as this kind of person who says "no you're wrong, 2009 was a great year, you hear me, a great year!". GAWD!

Is this Casey Abell just a poster on the GSN Forums or does he work for GSN? Well, hes wrong. I hardly watch GSN anymore. He would know that but its the same old, same old with these executives. "We know WHAT YOU want, even though we dont directly ask you".

He's just a poster on GSN. He claims to get ratings from a guy named Douglas.

...every three months or so by changing their prime-time schedule to the point where I'm not sure "what's" on "where" anymore. As for the weekend...let's see, how many hours of poker tournaments do they schedule in prime-time? Seven? Four? Nine? Five? What's the ratio this week??

:confused:


:tv:

Not to mention, the GSN Board is ruined by the likes of King888 and gameshowfan91 who likes to shove their opinions down our throat with their so called, I'm right your wrong attitude

gameshowfan91 thinks that Shandi Finnessey makes LINGO about contestants and IMO, she doesn't b/c she talks to darn much and King888 bashes Betty White and he says that he has facts to back up, which of course, he doesn't

Not to mention, those 2 go on the Off Topic Discussion Thread making a WWE Discussion Thread and those 2 WWE Marks go on gsn.com and argues about stuff like gameshowfan91 bashes Vickie Guerrero and King888 bashes Jim Ross and loves heels and gsf91 says that TNA Stinks and that Vickie can go to TNA and WWE can keep her out of there

Those 2 guys are so delusional

That's why I left the GSN Board and plus, GSN Angel throwing her dead weight around

I don't miss the GSN Board and I certainly don't miss GSN

Now if only some network like TBS, USA and/or WGN America can get those Game Show Libraries, then, I will be a happy person

I used to love GSN when I first got it in 2001. Press your luck combs feud hollywood squares hollywood showdown and more. Now I cant watch althought I do admit I like baggage but thats anout it

The new GSN Boards are just confusing and lame and I too had my beefs with Guide Angel as well as gsfan as well.

At 1st I was thinking of going back to the boards but I realized how much it's become more inane than ever before so I don't even care for the boards or for GSN as much anymore.

and not to mention, CardSharks8689 also known as JonSea31 with his stupid I can't watch Sesame Street b/c of Hyperactivity and phgellis and his rotten attitude and he thinks that Lebron James is all that and he even bashes so many people

Those guys are so delusional as well and yes, CaseyAbell isn't worth mentioning

gameshowfan91 seems to have too much an obsession about wanting WWE to Fire Vickie Guerrero and head to TNA b/c he hates TNA and Vickie, but he also has too much obsession about Shandi Finnessey making the show about the contestants which I TOTALLY disagree on b/c as I said earlier, she talks too much and he seems too obsessed about Dog Eat Dog and Brooke Burns, it was so overrated, IMO including the Strip Golf Part

These guys including King888 needs to grow up and act like adults

and yes, GSN_Angel wants to hand out unnecessary warnings b/c we reported something?

Well so be it

Thank GOD that I left the NEW GSN Board b/c it STINKS

There were several reasons why I quit the GSN forums, but the always ignorant and arrogant Casey Abell was the main reason.Hey, I'm glad that somebody understands what I'm trying to do here. (Okay, I'm stealing that line from Chuck Barris on Gong Show.)

Anyway, I do post about GSN ratings often, but I'm hardly the only one. Lots of posters discuss the ratings on the GSN boards. And I can't shove stuff down people's throats even if I wanted to, because Brendy does a very good job of moderating the boards. As to whether I'm evil and snobby and bossy and ignorant and arrogant, well, my Labrador Retriever likes me. ;)

He's just a poster on GSN. He claims to get ratings from a guy named Douglas.I don't "claim" this. It's just a fact. Douglas regularly posts GSN ratings at his blog (http://sonofthebronx.thevoiceoftv.com).

I'll never forget the thread asking if 2009 was the network's worst year ever. He hogged most of the thread, and basically came off as this kind of person who says "no you're wrong, 2009 was a great year, you hear me, a great year!". GAWD!Again, Brendy doesn't let people post personal attacks, even if I wanted to, which I don't. Also, 2009 was a good year for GSN because Deal or No Deal made such a big ratings splash on the network. In fact, it was GSN's biggest hit in several years. If you don't like the show, well, there's no disputing tastes. But 2009 was hardly a flop for GSN. Just the opposite, in fact.

On the general topic of this thread, of course it's subjective as to whether you think GSN has jumped the shark. I generally like the network because I'm a hopeless game show fan. GSN has screwed up lately, IMO, with Improv-a-Ganza and Love Triangle. (I'm blah on the first and can't stand the second.) But I like Engvall's new Lingo and generally find the schedule acceptable.

By the way, Jeopardy returns to GSN starting this Saturday after a long hiatus. With Sony assuming operational control and eventual majority ownership of GSN, it's possible we'll see more Sony shows on the network.

There are some other schedule changes starting this weekend. Improv-a-Ganza finally gets cut from Saturday after weeks of miserable ratings. Deal or No Deal gets another slot at 5:00PM weekdays, though Catch 21 and Lingo had been delivering decent numbers. I guess Lingo's absurd rerun abuse had to get trimmed back.

Crossposted to my game show blog (http://gameshowfollies.blogspot.com/2011/08/gsn-andme.html) with screenshots of (who else?) Howie Mandel, Bill Engvall and Alex Trebek.

All that I can say is that from this point on, my lips are completely sealed from this point on regarding Casey.

I don't post on this forum as often as I did on GSN Buzz, so I'm not TOO worried. At least not yet.

GSN didn't jump the shark,It was eaten by the shark then barfed back up.
Who can blame him ?

That new dating show hosted by Jerry Springer called "Baggage" isn't helping the network much-lol

God forbid, GSN just airs game shows. I mean GSN was a classic game show network and now look at it. What about airing Supermarket Sweep, Classic Concentration, etc.? All about reality now.

There was a time around 2001-02 when I would watch GSN virtually all day. Now I only watch $25,000 Pyramid and both versions of Card Sharks. Yes, GSN jumped the shark big time.

I guess the GSN was forced to change like TV Land and air programming more relevant and not all old classic games shows

I wonder sometimes if ANY channel is forced to change there format. I just think based on the success of Survivor, all these executives and tv stations literally bowed down to the makers of Survivor and fell in love with reality tv because ever since then, sitcoms and game shows and channels like MTV, TV Land, GSN etc. have gone right down the drain.

Yup, but I can say TV land is 70% classic and 30% Current. Not sure how that will change as we move forward but it's ok for now. I just got GSN so I can't really comment on how it changed from 10 years ago

TVFactFan, have you watched GSN? What do you think of it? My mother and I watch it some times. The only shows on there we watch is 25,000 Pyramid (which they should bring back by the way) and Card Sharks.

This is more a general statement for people on this thread but if you watch GSN, what do you watch? Is there anything you cant stand? From what I see, they made remakes of The Newlywed Game, Whammy etc. How are those?

The only thing I watched was that stupid show called "baggage" and I haven't turned back since

I hardly watch anymore. I will sometimes catch The Match Game. I loved watching GSN when they showed the game shows from the 50s. Those were fun to watch. Now I find the channel dull and the shows boring, just like TV Land.

...every time they "adjust" their schedule (which is about every three months or so), Game Show Network always "jumps the shark"!

:tv:

They are forced to stay CURRENT in order to survive

GSN has jumped the shark ever since it went from being Game Show Network to now GSN and not to mention, they've crunched the credits, too

I used to watch Press your Luck on USA Network I remember GSN used to show some of the old B&W Game shows. when they first came on.

USA Network was a much better channel to represent game show reruns. You also didn't have any credit crunchers and speed-ups. In fact, I should point out that they had been showing 1986 and 1983 episodes of Press Your Luck as early as 1989 and 1992 respectively. Beat that, GSN.

Hell, even USA Network in and of itself was a much better channel back then.

it's a shame they can't air the price is right

Not since early 2000. Darn it.

I never by the fact that they CANT air something. They DONT WANT to air something. If they wanted to air Price is Right, they could but after all that might cut into there time promoting Baggage or The New Newlywed Game. Face it, its a now philosophy, which means forget about the "old days". They dont exist anymore.

And just what the doctor ordered:

Another former Million-Dollar game show will be joining GSN come November. Yes according to Buzzerblog, Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? is coming to GSN. *sighs*

It has jumped the shark as well as no more classics. Bring back the classics and we will watch!

I had a problem with him once. I said something there before to the effect that I thought that Ken Jennings soured "J!" on me, because of how long he lasted (and consequently, that I preferred seeing Thom McKee on "TTD" for those same reasons), and he said that he could not agree; in essence, he said, IINM, that Ken made "J!" something that could not be missed during his run.

If I'm not mistaken (as it's been a while), that's how I recall it went.

And it gets even worse come January 2012:

http://buzzerblog.flashgameshows.com/gsn-acquires-dancing-with-the-stars-reruns-for-january-2012/

According to Buzzerblog GSN is now adding Dancing with the Stars reruns.

:(

Dancing with the Stars?? What's next?? What about The Price is Right? Classic Concentration? Scrabble? Hell, Supermarket Sweep!!??

http://officialfan.proboards.com/thread/473896/happened-game-show-network

It has been a while since I had a package that included GSN, but the place I'm staying now has it. However, the programming is TERRIBLE on it. Family Feud is a good show and all, but they've had impromptu 4 hour marathons of it. In fact, it seems like they air that show more than any other programming COMBINED. And it is never the Richard Dawson or Ray Combs episodes either. It is almost always the recent Steve Harvey ones!

I'm not expecting them to show rare gems like Nick Arcade, Double Dare or Starcade, but some variety would be nice.

I used to set my DVD recorder to record the old black and white What's My LIne?,, Password, I've Got a Secret, and Beat the Clock and watch them the next day after dinner. A great couple hours of fun.

http://officialfan.proboards.com/thread/473896/happened-game-show-network

Screw Steve Harvey and his "so-called" high ratings for GSN and Syndication, I never cared for that idiot in 2010 and I still don't care for it either way he's the reason why this classic format has now been crapped on including the other five former hosts (not counting Ricki Lake and Al Roker) and I also blame Fremantlemedia, the current *D* Bag producers of Feud, and Joey Fatone for being the worst Family Feud announcer ever for the franchise, Gene Wood and Burton Richardson respectively are WAY 10X better than Fatone.

But to be fair at least in 2013, GSN "FINALLY" got the rights to air O'Hurley's "Bullseye" season from 2009-2010.

Agreed with Megaman, GSN shows the same game shows all the time. I understand an hour or two, but six hours of the same show? Come on.

I was wondering what do you think about Game Show Network?I think its become crap and Im glad I dont pay extra for it!!

I dont wanna see NEW VERSIONS of classic shows I watched all my life!!

Complete garbage!!

Agreed with Megaman, GSN shows the same game shows all the time. I understand an hour or two, but six hours of the same show? Come on.
This practice has greatly cut down my viewing on several networks. 6 hours of any show is ridiculous and causes viewer burnout. I don't watch GSN much now, but it is still in my "bundle" so I am forced to pay for it. I really have no way to voice displeasure with any channel's shows bevause they get paid anyway through bundling.
If they had to compete for viewers in the traditional sense without being underwritten by bundling maybe they would get better variety of shows and listen to the audience.
I'm sure 6 hours of Family Feud is cheap to produce and re-run multiple times.

Dancing with the Stars?? What's next?? What about The Price is Right? Classic Concentration? Scrabble? Hell, Supermarket Sweep!!??

Not to bash on your feelings mets82, but I doubt that the return of TPIR will be in GSN's future anytimes soon since their contract for the show has expired in 2000.

Even if they did bring it back they would probably show the new crap :( (Not the good ones with Mr. Barker)

It's no surprise at all, I have that very same incident with the current 2010-present version of ''Family Feud'' so I haven't continued watching that version as well.

I too miss when it was still "Game Show Network" and their logo was the little dance-y looking guy.

Even if it were 6 hours of Dawson/Combs "Feud", 6 hours would be far too much.

It seems many of us would prefer to see an old CBS "The Joker's Wild" episode, or Martindale's "Tic Tac Dough" again. Match Game is great for 30 minutes, or even 2 episodes per day. The Feud & Baggage overkill really is awful, coupled with "reality" crap.

I wish they would do like ESPN, and have Game Show Classic network, nothing but re-runs of classics. I don't even mind if they try to re-make a classic.

^The "little dance-y looking guy" was actually a female character named "Winnie".

I seemed to remember that but wasn't totally sure! That's very good Winnie knowledge my friend. Not to be mistaken for Winnie the Pooh or Winston Churchill :)
