Since we have one of these threads about FOX ABC NBC and CBS I thought I would start one about GSN,
When GSN was launched on New Year's Eve of 1994 fans couldn't wait to have a channel that was all game shows that fans could enjoy but as GSN continued to grow you could tell that they would soon change their image by no longer calling themselves Game Show Network and referring themselves as GSN and now The Worst Biggest Mistakes In GSN History,
1. Way too much World Poker Tour Championships,
I could never understand why GSN had an obsession with World Poker Tour and they practically showed it every weekend and some game show classics would have been better to watch instead of World Poker Tour
2. Adding reality shows,
GSN wanted to cash in on the reality show craze so they started having stars like Carnie Wilson do their own reality shows and I do not think reality shows belong on GSN but they added reality shows like Window Warriors and Skin Wars in which Skin Wars lasted two seasons and if they returned to their game show roots and not focus on reality shows they would be better
3. Too Much Steve Harvey Family Feud,
Ever since it was announced that Steve Harvey's Family Feud reruns were gonna be added to the GSN lineup it seems that Steve Harvey has become GSN's biggest celebrity and GSN should cut the Family Feud reruns to midnight showings on weekends and no other versions of Family Feud never get shown besides Steve Harvey's Family Feud
For me the biggest mistake that GSN had done in history that never should've been done in the first place was cancel The Chase and it seemed to me that The Chase was a huge monster hit and even though a fifth season was scheduled to air GSN did a wrong move and cancelled The Chase anyway and focused on other game shows like Winsanity. Also replacing Chuck Woolery with Bill Engvall for the revival of Lingo was a bad idea and a better host would've been better
What are the Worst Biggest Mistakes do you consider the worst idea that hurt GSN in history?
Bestie

One of the Worst Mistakes that GSN ever did was...

- Not airing the remainder of Syndicated Sale of the Century(80s) run due to lease expiration

- Taking Off Saturday Night Classic Block back in February

- Not Showing Seasons 1, 4, 5 & 6(?) of Love Connection(Woolery) But have they show Seasons 2, 3, 7, 8 & 9 on the channel before?

- Not Airing the classic pre-1990 episodes of The Price is Right from after February 9, 1984 due to lease expiration; on the other hand maybe it has something to do with CBS

- Not Airing the New Year's Eve 1987 episode of Card Sharks(Eubanks) last December

- Having ABC's Dancing with the Stars replacing the Flashback Friday block

- Not Acquiring Starcade & Sports Challenge because GSN never thought about airing these classic shows

- Quickly taken off Hollywood Game Night from the GSN schedule too soon. however, NBC is currently protecting HGN

- Taking The Chase off from the GSN's Weekday Schedule in favor of Family Feud(Harvey)

- Having Whammy! to replace Card Sharks(Perry) at 10am/9c in November 2016

Hi, Bestie! This should be a poll! I say the worst is too much Family Feud and cancelling The Chase!
DTK

Another worst mistake of GSN was cancelling The American Bible Challenge after three seasons and I couldn't figure out why GSN did this because like The Chase The American Bible Challenge was a monster hit and was nominated for an Emmy Award for Best Outstanding Game Show but then shortly after it was cancelled The American Bible Challenge reruns were shown on Up as well as Bounce. Also having the show Instant Recall which was supposed to be Wink Martindale's return as The Comeback Kid "a term that I love to use for game show hosts that haven't been seen in a while" but when Instant Recall was first announced by GSN they promoted Instant Recall like crazy and having commercials for Instant Recall where Wink Martindale dressed like a rap artist didn't help Instant Recall in ratings and was soon cancelled and reruns of Instant Recall have never been seen on GSN since. Another show to suffer the same fate was The Pyramid and the main reason why I think The Pyramid even existed was that as soon as Dick Clark passed away GSN was so eager to promote The Pyramid and by having celebrities such as Yvette Nicole Brown and Melissa Peterman appear on the show didn't work and with Mike Richards as host The Pyramid would've been a hit but was sent to Game Show Heaven shortly and reruns have also never been seen since on GSN
Bestie

Why GSN aired reruns of Dancing With The Stars is beyond me and GSN should've added another game show instead of Dancing With The Stars and that would've been great. Another big mistake was adding Shop Til You Drop to the GSN lineup and you would've thought that Supermarket Sweep would've been a better choice rather than Shop Til You Drop and although Shop Til You Drop is a great show GSN could've gotten Supermarket Sweep added to the lineup. Also removing the reruns of the Monty Hall LMAD shortly after the Monty Hall Tribute Marathon of LMAD premiered was not such a smart idea and GSN should've kept the original LMAD as a way to honor Monty Hall
Bestie

When Game Show Network became GSN. It's no different then when other channels changed.

Plus, way too much Family Feud. I like Harvey's Family Feud but now it's overkill. Not only that, relying on shows from not to long ago. What I mean is instead of showing game shows from 2010, show game shows from 1980.

Why GSN decided to air Million Dollar Password reruns is beyond me and it seemed that after CBS pulled the plug on Million Dollar Password GSN decided to add the reruns to their lineup. Another thing I noticed about GSN is that they showed Regis Philbin's version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire then Meredith Veira's version but as soon as Who Wants To Be A Millionaire returned to GSN last year they decided to air the current Chris Harrison version rather than the Cedric The Entertainer version or the Terry Crews version and ever since Chris Harrison's Millionaire reruns debuted last December it seems that this version of Millionaire is all GSN shows and Regis Philbin's Millionaire will probably never be shown again. Another wrong thing that GSN did was cancel the Chain Reaction revival and it seemed like a smart idea to air the Chain Reaction revival directly after The Chase proved that GSN had a hit game show hour at night but after seeing how successful Mark Labbett had become Michael Catherwood was hoping for the same celebrity status but it wasn't possible when Chain Reaction was cancelled. If GSN could design better shows and give them better promotion GSN could be great again and show the classic black and white game shows year round rather than during Christmas and it would be awesome
Bestie

Here's some more of The Worst Biggest Mistakes In GSN History,
1. Perferring Chris Harrison's version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire over the Regis Philbin version/Meredith Veira version/ Cedric The Entertainer version/Terry Crews version,
When it was announced that Who Wants To Be A Millionaire was coming back to GSN in December of last year fans were rejoicing it's return to GSN but when it was announced that it was the Chris Harrison version of Millionaire fans were disappointed that it wasn't Regis Philbin's version and I can't understand why Chris Harrison's Millionaire was chosen to air by GSN rather than Regis Philbin's version or any of the other versions that were hosted by Meredith Veira Cedric The Entertainer or Terry Crews's versions. Does GSN have no interest in Regis Philbin's Millionaire or is GSN just scared to air other versions of Millionaire?
2. Showing Cash Cab at weeknights rather than airing it in the weekday morning lineup and only showing it on the weekend morning lineup,
I can never understand why GSN decided to air Cash Cab reruns on weeknights during the week but when Catch 21 reruns came back to the weekday morning lineup Cash Cab morning reruns were gone and another thing regarding Cash Cab on GSN is they only air it on weekend mornings and by the time I get up I miss it and Millionaire is on. If I ran GSN I would remove Millionaire and add more Cash Cab reruns in Millionaire's weekend timeslots. I LOVE Cash Cab and I would love to see it more often than in weeknight timeslots that are impossible to find
3. Doing away with talk shows about game shows,
When GSN was first launched on cable they had talk shows about game shows such as Club AM and GameTV where they had interviews with game show hosts and happenings in the game show world but you don't see talk shows about game shows on GSN anymore and game show talk shows would be a winner on GSN today
Other things to note is having the interactive game show GSN Live and I can't understand why this show existed on GSN and to me it was a waste of space and having The Bachelor's Bob Guiney host it didn't help and it's a wonder it was cancelled after so long
Bestie

For why they air Chris Harrison's Millionaire instead of Regis, maybe they do that because some of the questions on Regis' Millionaire are outdated? I'm just guessing.

For why they air Chris Harrison's Millionaire instead of Regis, maybe they do that because some of the questions on Regis' Millionaire are outdated? I'm just guessing.There are shows on the schedule that are a lot older than Regis Millionaire.

Their single biggest mistake is when Steve Harvey Family Feud came to the network. I thought Deal or No Deal airing 4 hours a day awhile back was excessive, but that ended up being nothing compared to the Harvey Feud overkill that will never go away now. Other mistakes, some of their best originals were treated like crap. The American Bible Challenge got record breaking ratings when it first came but went long periods of time between seasons (which were shorter than a lot of originals at only 9 episodes a season) and was cancelled after 3 seasons. The Chase still got good ratings when it was cancelled. 20Q and The Money List were doomed from the start with their awful Big Saturday "event" that had unwanted interstitials expanding an hour show to 90 minutes. Finally, Grand Slam was one of the best game shows I have ever seen, the only thing that tops it in my book is the Dick Clark Pyramids. Grand Slam was a smartly written tournament of game show champions that was stuck on Saturday and cancelled after one short season. Instead they started making garbage like Baggage and the Newlywed Game remake that made several episodes and seasons.

I'm very happy that you all agree with me. Here's another mistake that GSN wrongly did and they should've never done in the first place. During Christmas Week in 2014 GSN launched a game show called The Line and when GSN announced the debut of The Line in their upfronts it was due to be an interesting concept for a game show and a hit game show. But when The Line finally came out during Christmas Week only two episodes were made and aired and I cannot figure out why GSN promoted The Line like crazy and wasted an entire Christmas Day marathon just repeating the same episodes of The Line over and over and over then because of this The Line was cancelled soon after Christmas. Another mistake that GSN should've learned to follow the rules was adding Monopoly Millionaires Club reruns after the show barely started it's debut season and during commercial breaks of GSN shows GSN promoted Monopoly Millionaires Club like crazy but due to state lottery laws that forbade GSN from showing Monopoly Millionaires Club reruns the show was pulled from GSN at the last minute the day before the reruns were to debut on GSN The Chase reruns were put in Monopoly Millionaires Club's timeslot and GSN should've not broken the rules for mistakes like this
Bestie

Airing so much of Steve Harvey's Family Feud and drifting away from game shows, showing stuff not even game show related at all.

What really hurt GSN was when they added It Takes A Church and I don't know why it existed in the first place. I remember when It Takes A Church came out and what I saw of it was a ripoff of The Bachelor with a single church pastor and even though it had my favorite singer Natalie Grant as the host of the show I think GSN overpromoted It Takes A Church and it was soon cancelled. Another show that was another monster hit was Idiotest and when it first came out at the same time that The Chase was in it's second season GSN knew that another game show besides The Chase would be huge for GSN and even though at first GSN had a smart idea to air Idiotest directly after The Chase but when they started doing theme weeks of Idiotest such as Kids Week and Celebrity Week you could tell that Idiotest would be going downhill and it would soon be the end and when Idiotest premiered the host Ben Gleib became GSN's biggest celebrity next to Mark Labbett and now that Idiotest is cancelled Ben Gleib has never hosted another game show for GSN or any other network since and I believe that Ben Gleib deserves a second chance to host a game show for GSN soon
Bestie

Another thing I found odd is why did GSN get the idea to have a show called Beat The Chefs and to me this cooking reality show is something that belongs on Food Network and not GSN and what I think GSN was trying to do was trying to have a show like Iron Chef but it failed. Also another thing was having former American Idol Season 3 finalist Matthew Rogers host Beat The Chefs was a shocking surprise. The same thing happened with a show called Family Trade and when it first was announced GSN made tons of money on TV commercials advertising it but even with expensive advertising Family Trade was soon cancelled and from what I saw of it Family Trade was a copycat of Pawn Stars and didn't fit on GSN. A second thing I can't figure out is why did GSN put Deal Or No Deal on the early morning schedule and on the weekends it's also in the early morning hours too and Deal Or No Deal should be shown weekday afternoons as well besides America Says as well. If GSN would improve their lineup to air more successful game shows I think they could be better
Bestie

I don't even remember Beat the Chefs or Family Trade being on the schedule.

Why GSN decided to give Drew Carey his own comedy game show called Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza I'll never understand why because it seemed that GSN was trying to make Drew Carey a huge star by having his own show but comedy shows and GSN just doesn't mix well. Also what's with GSN not having marathons on birthdays of game show hosts? I remember when GSN used to have birthday marathons of the game show that the host used to star in but now it seems that game show host marathons of game shows are only shown when a game show host dies and then the game shows are never seen again. Take for example when Monty Hall died last year it seemed that all GSN showed was a marathon of the original LMAD when GSN could've shown reruns of the Monty Hall version of Beat The Clock or the Monty Hall version of Split Second. If I ran GSN I would improve it by having special marathons of game shows on a game show host's birthday. Another mistake was teaming up with Tylenol to sponsor a classic Thursday night hour called Throwback Thursday and it was a smart idea to have a hour filled with game show classics like All Star Secrets and Tattletales and the game show Second Chance that starred Jim Peck but this hour failed. GSN should bring out a classic weekend game show block someday because it would work miracles for GSN's lineup
Bestie

Why GSN chose Apolo Ohno to host their new exclusive revival of Minute To Win It is a story i'll never figure out because ever since NBC cancelled the original Minute To Win It with Guy Fieri GSN somehow had the idea to revive Minute To Win It and from the time it was announced that Minute To Win It was returning this time to GSN they promoted it with tons of commercials starring Apolo Ohno and by the time it aired I think GSN expected the revival of Minute To Win It to be just as popular as The Chase but after tons of repeats from Season 2 GSN cancelled Minute To Win It after it's second season but as GSN should've learned sometimes revivals of game shows can fail. I watched the GSN version of Minute To Win It and thought it looked cool and Apolo Ohno was awesome on it. Another thing GSN did was remove their kids game show block called GSN Kids Zone that had reruns of Nickelodeon's Double Dare Wheel Of Fortune 2000 and Jep which was a kids version of Jeopardy and it was a smart idea but was soon removed from GSN too soon. If GSN could create a spin-off channel for kids that features new and reruns of classic kids game shows it would be a huge hit with kids and a smart move for GSN to consider because I know a lot of kids watch game shows a lot other than cartoons today
Bestie

Hi, Bestie! Any news if Apolo is going to host ant other game shows? He was good on MTWI
DTK

The Most Recent Mistake that GSN did recently was airing Caroline & Friends at 8am/7c before Match Game(Rayburn)

Why did GSN try to copy Reelz Channel and E! Entertainment Network by having a news magazine called Cover Story that was supposed to be all about the latest news in the game show world but lately seemed to have episodes with titles such as The Story Of America's Favorite Big Dealer The Life And Legacy Of Monty Hall or The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Story or The Making Of Family Feud and what I think Cover Story was trying to be was a game show news version of Inside Edition and this show could've been better if they would've designed Cover Story to focus on game show stories about the shows today. Another biggest mistake that GSN did was replace Carnie Wilson with Sherri Shepherd on their version of The Newlywed Game and by the time Sherri debuted on The Newlywed Game the ratings went downhill and pairing it with a game show named Love Triangle that was hosted by Wendy Williams didn't help GSN much either and although promising Love Triangle was cancelled shortly after poor ratings but a hour of love game shows was a clever concept that failed for GSN

If you are referring to Bob Barker that is probably not their fault, there are a lot of episodes he does not allow to air with all the models he hated on the show.

How in the world Caroline And Friends ever manages to survive in ratings on GSN is beyond me and I do not know why GSN gave Caroline Rhea her own show that is not even considered a game show and I can bet that Caroline And Friends will not survive to see a second season on GSN. A second game show that seemed to be funny and lots of fun to watch that GSN quickly got rid of was Late Night Liars and even though it had cute puppets and an awesome host in comedian Larry Miller Late Night Liars was cancelled and you never see reruns of this show anymore on GSN. Another worst mistake that GSN did was add a reality show called American Dream Derby and it seemed to be a smart reality show all about horse racing this show should've belonged on the horse racing channel TVG and shortly after the last episode aired GSN cancelled it with no reason and it showed that some reality shows can fail on GSN
Bestie

Caroline and Friends looks like an innocent show that is better than a lot of reality. However, it still does not belong on a game show network at all. Bring back Greed reruns (way too long since that has aired) and put Greed at 4PM weekdays following The Chase.

So sitcoms are airing on GSN?

I stopped watching years ago when it became the Family Feud Network.

So sitcoms are airing on GSN?

I stopped watching years ago when it became the Family Feud Network.No sitcoms at all on GSN, this is a reality show Caroline Rhea is hosting called Caroline and Friends.

Why GSN has the GSN Now app is beyond me because when I first heard about and got the GSN Now App I thought it would have all the great GSN shows that were featured on TV but when I got GSN Now it seems that all it has is Family Feud and Idiotest and America Says Baggage Skin Wars and Divided and you would think that with the money that GSN used to make this app they should've added more game shows like Cash Cab reruns and Catch 21 The Chase and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and others rather than Family Feud. Another thing that GSN should've done when The Chase was a huge monster hit was when The Chase was on hiatus was they had segments called Beast Mode that featured a puppet named Beasty who was the mascot of The Chase and the Beast Mode segments featured Beasty going on fun adventures and offering funny commentary on each rerun of The Chase and with a cool mascot GSN should've given Beasty a spin-off game show or his own series instead of canceling The Chase because I feel that The Chase could've continued with more episodes because of how popular the Beasty character would've become. I do think if GSN were to revive their original game shows such as The Chase and Catch 21 GSN would gain more popularity with the 18 to 25 year old audience. But I have a feeling that ever since Buzzr TV was launched GSN will become more like Buzzr TV in the future since people like classic game shows a lot
Bestie

Why GSN got rid of Chris Harrison's Millionaire i'll never understand because it seemed to be a monster hit for GSN and now GSN has put a whole weekend hour of Cash Cab in it's timeslot and although more Cash Cab makes me happy I sure will miss Millionaire reruns on GSN but at least new episodes of Millionaire I can always see every weekday morning. And now with Cash Cab reruns airing more I think Cash Cab has replaced Family Feud as the top game show of GSN and Ben Bailey has replaced Steve Harvey as GSN's top celebrity. Another mistake they have done is have an hour called GSN Daily Draw and I don't know how in the world it has survived and it has made the host of Daily Draw Trish Suhr a huge household name for GSN and she is also the host of GSN's Cover Story and it seems that Trish wants to be GSN's top female celebrity. I think with a new image GSN should make new revivals of The Chase Whammy The All New Press Your Luck or a new version of Supermarket Sweep or Catch 21 and have all new hosts like Kelsey Grammer Ty Pennington and Billy Gardell host these new game show revivals if they ever are made in the future. But GSN should bring back Brooke Burns Mark Labbett Bill Engvall Todd Newton and other former GSN stars to host their future game shows so that they can become Comeback Kids and that would make GSN fans very happy
Bestie

To me, the biggest mistake was making it the 24/7 Harvey "Family Feud" channel.

And they cancelled "Lingo" with Chuck Woolery too soon. That was an awesome show that still could be running.

With my current directv package I no longer receive GSN but I don't miss it. Right now the only show they air that interests me is "Match Game". I like "Wheel of Fortune" but the season they're airing is too new; they should run an older, classic season.

If you are referring to Bob Barker that is probably not their fault, there are a lot of episodes he does not allow to air with all the models he hated on the show.

Also any episode with real furs are now forbidden by Barker.

Hi, Bestie! I hope you are right about Kelsey Grammar becoming a game show host! He will make a good one. I always though he should replace Alex on Jeopardy, myself. What do you think?
DTK

I saw Todd Newton hosting on one of the shopping channels.

Also any episode with real furs are now forbidden by Barker.

Can't they just edit those parts out?

I do not know why GSN decided to show Wheel Of Fortune on their morning lineup and I agree with you that they should've shown the 80's seasons of Wheel Of Fortune and not the Wheel Of Fortune episodes from 2016 to last season. Why GSN did this to Wheel Of Fortune i'll never figure out. Another mistake is why did they add Let's Ask America reruns to the lineup? I had never seen Let's Ask America before but this show was a wrong thing to add to GSN. I think GSN should add reruns of lesser known game shows such as Merv Griffin's Crosswords and The Big Date which aired on USA in 1995 and the show Temptation would make a great fit for GSN as well
Bestie

The worst biggest mistake GSN has done is no longer celebrating Halloween by having Halloween marathons of game shows and I remember when GSN aired a special Halloween themed episode of Whammy and had shown Halloween episodes of Steve Harvey's Family Feud and John O'Hurley's Family Feud and not only did they stop celebrating Halloween but GSN no longer does game shows for St. Patrick's Day or Valentine's Day and it seems to me that the only holidays GSN plays marathons of game shows is Thanksgiving and Christmas and it tells me that GSN makes a lot of money during Thanksgiving and Christmas adding marathons. The second worst mistake involves The Chase and I think one of the reasons why it got cancelled is the fact that they came up with a smart idea but somehow overdid it was have celebrity edition episodes with various celebrities such as Dean Cain Tatyana Ali Boris Kodjoe and more and perhaps the most oddest The Chase episode was one that featured the cast of ABC's Scandal minus Kerry Washington and I thought it was shocking that Kerry Washington was not chosen to participate in the Scandal episode of The Chase because she was the lead star of Scandal but I think if The Chase had not focused on celebrity episodes so much and made regular episodes with regular contestants The Chase would've survived another season instead of suffering a surprising death by cancellation
Bestie

Kerry Washington might not have wanted to appear on The Chase. The Scandal episode and the Dean Cain/Seamus Deaver episode might have been the only two with celebrities, I don't recall any others.

Why I think GSN is trying to do is get a new younger audience to their channel and that's why they focused on more popular game shows. But one game show I'll never understand why it was a hit or existed was America Says because if you watched an episode of America Says it was a copy of Family Feud with a different name and i'm surprised that Family Feud didn't sue America Says for copying their show. Another odd thing GSN did was make the popular People Puzzler feature from People Magazine into a game show because when I saw the first episode it was a ripoff of Merv Griffin's Crosswords and had Jeopardy type elements in it and the only reason it continued to survive was because of Leah Remini. But what GSN should develop is a classic game show channel to attract the senior crowd and it would work marvelously because seniors love game shows a lot

I really liked Merv Griffin's Crosswords but am liking People Puzzler even better. All the remakes on TV there aren't really lawsuits about copying. One difference that makes America Says more interesting is the fill in the blank answers, you know what letter they start with. And John Michael Higgins is a much, much better host than Steve Harvey. Steve has ruined Family Feud making it permanently trashy. :mumble:

Caroline and Friends looks like an innocent show that is better than a lot of reality. However, it still does not belong on a game show network at all. Bring back Greed reruns (way too long since that has aired) and put Greed at 4PM weekdays following The Chase.I made this post almost six years ago. It has been much longer now since Greed aired on Game Show Network, grrr! They haven't even aired Chuck Woolery's version of Lingo in several years. That was one of their most successful originals ever. So was The American Bible Challenge which I doubt is ever replayed on GSN. :mad:

I cannot figure out how Tic-Tac Dough's revival is scoring big ratings for GSN and I think GSN was so eager to put a debut date on Tic-Tac Dough's revival was because little did they know that after the debut episode aired that Wink Martindale would soon pass away and he did. Just like GSN did by airing The Pyramid when Dick Clark passed away and The Pyramid flopped in ratings. I think GSN has high hopes on Bingo Blitz because that show seems to get tons of Valerie Bertinelli ads for it and it looks like it will replace reruns of Steve Harvey's Family Feud. Another show that GSN has promoted the heck out of is Beat The Bridge and from the preview i've seen Beat The Bridge looks unappealing and how it gets ratings I'll never know the answer? Finally when GSN did their Wink Martindale tribute marathon on Easter all the marathon had was his original Tic-Tac Dough episodes. I mean where is Gambit? What about Wink's version of High Rollers? How about Headline Chasers? or even Debt? There was lots of other Wink Martindale game shows that they could've shown but GSN focused on Tic-Tac Dough

I cannot figure out how Tic-Tac Dough's revival is scoring big ratings for GSNI am a big fan of the Tic Tac Dough revival and with strong ratings others obviously are fans as well. The gameplay on Tic Tac Dough is a lot more interesting than the gameplay on Bingo Blitz. I have not returned to Bingo Blitz since I saw the pilot. Tic Tac Dough, on the other hand, I have seen numerous times and look forward to all the other new episodes.

I cannot figure out how Tic-Tac Dough's revival is scoring big ratings for GSN

It’s a mystery all right. My guess is for the dough. Can’t be for the tic or the tac.

Airings of the eyebrow raising GSN Originals Without Prejudice?, Hidden Agenda and Hellevator.

Also, I know you people may not agree with me on this, but making Shandi Finnessey becoming overpowered to Chuck Woolery on Lingo and Mel Peachey on PlayMania. *ducks and covers head*
