The game show network use to show great classic game shows like What's my line, I got a secret and beat the clock. Is GSN network also following in the foot steps of TV Land and Nick at Nite?

It sure seems like it. I posted this very question in the Game Show thread. I'm wondering if GSN has jumped the shark. I really dont watch it anymore.

For a short time this past December, they were airing repeats again of What's My Line and I've Got A Secret. But overall, I think GSN has discontinued airing black and white programming in favor of strictly color shows. I miss that late night block of black and white game shows they used to air. And a couple years ago, they ran an episode of the Joe Garagiola game show He Said, She Said. That was a pleasant surprise. They have gotten away from airing cool stuff like this, now late at night they air repeats of $25,000 Pyramid and Card Sharks. No, GSN isn't as good as it used to be. It's another network that was great when it was new, but has gradually gone downhill over time. Seems to be a trend with TV stations these days.

I wish I had GSN when it had mostly the classics, didn't get it until '03.
