I personally think they boned when they reduced airings of classic shows, especially the Chuck Barris ones.

When they stopped broadcasting most of the Goodson-Todman library back in the mid-2000s.

I wish I could vote for more than one option.

1) Not showing one of the greatest game shows of all time TPIR. No way you have a game show network without TPIR.

2) No black and white game shows of any kind.

3) No classic episodes of shows that are actually on the air like Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy.

4) No classic episodes of Scrabble, Classic Concentration or even the older Pyramid shows.

The only time they show B&W game shows nowadays is during Christmastime.

GSN thinks they will turn off younger viewers. I'm a younger viewer, and I'd rather watch those kind of shows, than Steve Harvey's Feud any day of the week.

Very, very well said!

I quit watching years ago when they started airing poker all the time. Watching guys play cards for three hours is not entertainment IMO. Their current slate of game shows leaves little to be desired, especially that awful Baggage, and I don't know who thought it was a good idea to have dull Sherri Shepherd host The Newlywed Game. Even the contestants are boring.

Or how about putting on Dancing with the Stars on GSN? That actually happened. Let that sink in for a minute or two.

Way too much Family Feud.

They should sprinkle in more classics.
