ION should not be showing Family Feud - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

GARFIELDKOOL · 04-07-2008, 07:25 PM

Isn't repeats of a game show is what the Game Show Network is for? ION is a crappy network that didn't treat Alice right. They are showing the Wayans Brothers and Steve Harvey, two sitcoms that are already on other networks. I am sure ION will fold in a few years.

That is what I thought GSN was for. Who the hell wants to see reruns of a game show? I sure don't. I don't give a rat's ass abt some show that has been aired to death on other channels. What is next? Reruns of Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune?

Maybe ION had some left-over rights for Family Feud, from the days when they were PAX TV. I remember Family Feud was on that channel for a long time.

Of course I have no problem with reruns of a game show airing, but this one IMHO comes on way too much, not to mention GSN is getting this version of it next month. And an hour of it airs everyday already on many local stations. That's one of the biggest reasons I hate that this is on ION. I wish they'd quit picking up shows that air so much elsewhere. I would rather see Alice again, or something else that hasn't aired much in a while.

You're right, Family Feud just does not belong on ION right now, especially at 7pm. I could see maybe a couple times on weekend afternoons, but taking up a great slot 4 days a week is nonsense. This network is slowly falling apart every month.

I'd love to see like classic episodes of Price is Right air at 7pm. It would be a lot better than Feud episodes we already get during the day on locals and on GSN

And GSN suddenly seems too interesting in rerunning crap like World Poker Tour - not to mention original shows thought dead years ago - to concentrate on running shows people might actually like.

Keep in mind too that for a number of years rerunning game shows is what kept this channel on the air at all (back in the PAX years). This ain't exactly unprecedented for the channel.

They should keep ION strictly comedies and dramas - and stick the paid programming into the insomniac time slots.

You are right abt that comment regarding rerunning game shows, but ION came to a point where it just wants to throw any old programming on without any real reasoning behind it. "Pick a game show, any old game show to put on at 7 pm"...

GSN is full of crap too.

Their entire lineup is probably a bunch of shows they picked out of a hat. They just write down all the old crappy 90's shows, put them in a happy, and choose. I can't think of a better explanation.

I wonder how Quantum Leap premiered last night . . .

I am curious too. My boyfriend wants to watch that show but he works late, so he missed it. And hell if I am going to record it.

I just didn't like watching Drew at 10pm . . . 9pm is usually a better slot for me. Then watching the Pilot episode, and knowing I'd have to sit through 3 weeks of episodes I already own on DVD, was a shame. Why'd they have to start over?

I have no plans to watch Quantum Leap. Never watched it before, but it just doesn't sound interesting to me. I hope it bombs.

Ireneparalegal · 04-08-2008, 04:28 PM

I seen the pilot episode last night of Drew Carey and guess what? It was blurry like it was the first time they aired it!!!!

OH MY EYES!!!!!

friendsfan77 · 04-08-2008, 04:30 PM

If they had much more than 6 hours of programming a day, I'd love to see a full schedule which consits of classic game shows that GSN doesn't seem to bother to want to air, sitcoms, and dramas. It could be kinda like how USA used to be when they still had all that variety.

Yeah, I noticed a huge different between the season 5 finale and the Pilot last night. I don't understand how 2 episodes just years apart from each other can look so different.

I could tell that it was plainly obvious the pilot was shot on film, but there is no way that it looks as bad as they showed it.
