Celebrate Good Times: GSN Daytime Classics Back in April!

The celebration is on for GSN's classic game show audience. Bill and Dick and Allen and Bert and Gordon are all back----in April.

Gone are Star Search, Hollywood Showdown and all of the GSN originals from three years ago, except for Lingo.

Effective April 4, several Goodson-Todman classics from the '70s through the '90s and Bob Stewart's The $100,000 Pyramid return to the GSN daytime schedule.

CBS Match Game reruns launch the day at 9 a.m. (ET/PT), displacing the Arsenio Hall talent contest. Bill Cullen's Blockbusters expands from weekends, taking over the 10:30 slot.

A rarely-shown series, the '80s syndicated Card Sharks with Bill Rafferty, moves in at 2:30 p.m.

Returning after an extended hiatus: To Tell the Truth (the 1990-91 version with Gordon Elliott, Lynn Swann and Alex Trebek), Password Plus with Allen Ludden and Tom Kennedy and Super Password with Bert Convy.

The Monday-through-Friday GSN lineup, effective April 4:
9:00 Match Game
9:30 To Tell the Truth
10:00 Family Feud (Dawson)
10:30 Blockbusters (Bill Cullen)
11:00 Password Plus
11:30 The $100,000 Pyramid
12:00 Jeopardy
12:30 Newlywed Game (unsure which era)
1:00 & 1:30 Love Connection
2:00 Super Password
2:30 Card Sharks (Rafferty)*

*All times Eastern/Pacific
Note to West Coast viewers who have GSN's Pacific feed, the golden goodness begins at 6:00am-12:00 noon.

Thank you, GSN! THANK YOU!!!

Wow! Kudos to GSN for bringing back all of my favorite game shows. I like to see them come back. "$100,000 Pyramid", "Card Sharks" and the two remaining Password's like "Password Plus" and "Super Password". I always love all the "Password" shows. The one I would look forward to see on GSN is bringing back "Win, Lose or Draw" from its hiatus. "Password Plus" was hosted by Allen Ludden and it was his last show as an emcee until his death in 1981. George Kennedy took over Allen's place following his death.

It was Tom Kennedy. He took over hosting duties for Allen on Password Plus+ around 1980 when he (Allen) became ill. George Kennedy is an actor.

Forgot to mention the report is from TVgameshows.net

Life indeed is very good again!

You bet. I thought it was George Kennedy. I made a mistake.

Tom Kennedy did took over his hosting job after Allen's death.

As you probably know bossradio93, GSN is bringing back Game Show Network from the dead in the daytime.

Mr. Television · 03-04-2005, 08:50 PM

This is good news.

rodwayne · 03-08-2005, 03:26 PM

I for one is very glad to hear that GSNis going back to basic although it won't do me any good because tthe only way I could ever see it is if I have diginal cable with the diginal channels which of course cost an arm and a leg!Now if only some channel would bring on the classic version of The Hollywood Squares(Hint:Nick At Nite T.V. Land),I can die a very happy man!

Harper49 · 03-13-2005, 10:39 PM

Except for WOF it could possibly come back.

Small Wonderian · 03-14-2005, 12:45 AM

I'm so happy the classic game shows are coming back.

musicradio77 · 03-14-2005, 12:58 AM

This is what GSN is all about, the rebirth of Game Show Network. It will rise from the dead.

Next month, GSN will become Game Show Network from the dead in the daytime.

Finally!!!

What else can I say but, "Yes!" The password shows are back, along with Pyramid, and weekday Blockbusters. I think I'll actually watch GSN again, for the first time in many months! Long live the classics!

Scoobiedoo30 · 03-17-2005, 12:04 PM

mstewart · 03-17-2005, 11:46 PM

Does anyone have a VCR?? I would like to have Password Plus with Allen Ludden taped. I will be more than glad to supply the VCR tapes and pay for the postage. Password rocks and so does Allen Ludden.
