During this morning's rerun of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire GSN announced a new game show called America Says and will debut in June and it is unknown how America Says will be played or who will be the host of the show at this time. It is interesting what step GSN will take with America Says and I think they will become the number one channel this summer

Hi, Bestie! Let me know when you find out how you play America Says. I hope it is as good as the chase, and not just a "Family Fued" copy.

During a Who Wants To Be A Millionaire rerun this morning GSN showed a sneak peek of America Says and what I saw from the sneak peek America Says appears to be a copycat of Family Feud and I can say is that Fremantle Media might accuse GSN of copying Family Feud when GSN created America Says. As for the gameplay of America Says the questions will consist of fill in the blank type questions like a questionaire. The preview sneak peek for America Says showed who the host of America Says will be but the preview doesn't say his name or who he is. I think this show will be a minor summer hit but who knows how America Says will do in GSN ratings when it debuts next month

I just learned some more info on GSN's America Says. The host of America Says will be John Michael Higgins and America Says will be his debut game show as well as his welcome to the GSN family. I think GSN is having high hopes for this show and expects it to be a hit and be successful. We shall see when GSN debuts America Says in June

America Says makes it's debut on GSN June 18th. I hope Family Feud doesn't file a lawsuit with GSN for making America Says a copy of Family Feud because when I saw the preview the set of America Says looks exactly like the Family Feud set

I don't see why there would be a lawsuit. Similar themed shows happen all the time these days (look at all the reboots and revivals of shows). America Says looks like it could be interesting, and hopefully not trashed up like Steve Harvey did to Family Feud.

I saw part of an episode of America Says today when LMAD was on a commercial break and it seems that America Says is indeed a copycat of Family Feud and uses the exact same elements as Family Feud and even uses the exact same podium that Family Feud uses in it's Face-Off Round and it surprised me that America Says did this. On the gameplay itself of America Says the surveys look very similar to Family Feud and it was a surprising shock to me. The host of America Says John Michael Higgins is also one of the interesting hosts that GSN has picked for this show and I first heard of John Michael Higgins when I first heard his voice on Disney's Sofia The First and he's mainly an actor who does voices on radio commercials and he is the only saving grace of this show. I don't know how GSN spent a lot of money into promoting America Says and spent tons of money on commercials advertising America Says and making it GSN's most watched Summer game show. As I mentioned in my other post in this thread I can see FremantleMedia trying to sue GSN for copying Family Feud and renaming it America Says. I will doubt that America Says will last one more week or even one month before GSN cancels it

It has been announced that GSN will soon air a second season of America Says and casting for new teams of contestants is already starting. I'm surprised that America Says has been renewed for Season 2 because I didn't expect it to be a huge hit for GSN

I have been watching America Says. It is not too bad. It is clean and not a smutty show. I can watch it in 20 minutes so for me it goes fast.

I never been checking out America Says on GSN before but we all know it does return from the sophomore season. Fact is it should succeed just like The Chase & Divided were earlier that same decade.
