Mark Fieldman sworn in as new CEO of GSN - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Fans of GSN will rejoice as Mark Fieldman has been sworn in at GSN as it's new CEO and hopefully make lots of fun changes and bring lots of great new game shows to GSN in the near future. Now that Mark Fieldman is now CEO of GSN do you think GSN will improve itself a lot in the years to come?

Maybe some old game shows will be coming back.

Hi, Bestie! I am glad you have high hopes for Mr. Fieldman. I will wait till he makes a change in the schedule to let you know what I think of him. But really, anybody will be better than what GSN had. Maybe , dare I say it? GSN will breing back THE CHASE!!! I know Mark must be miserable in Australia! He would jump at the chance to come back here.

Yes but i think GSN need to add 7am/6c hour on Monday-Friday & add 8am/7c hour on Saturday & Sunday. they also need to trim Steve Harvey's Family Feud down a bit and reinstate Flashback Friday block for the classic game shows.

I say bring back all the early 2000's original shows from the last great period at GSN. Brink back Russian Roulette, Cram, Whammy!, Win tuition, Friend or Foe and Lingo.

Also make new episodes of my two favorite network shows of the early 2000's: Greed & Twenty One.

Finally, how about putting kids game shows back on Saturday Mornings!!!
These can be reruns and new episodes. My favs are Double Dare, Nick Arcade and Guts, if the ratings are good maybe try an afterschool weekday block from 4 to 6 PM.

This would really help GSN get younger viewers to watch as well as Millennials.

Glad you posted this Bestie. Now, I can keep an eye out on GSN. I say bring back the classic shows.

Now that Mark Fieldman is CEO of GSN I wonder if GSN will improve it's lineup and add more reruns of shows like Jeopardy reruns from 1984-1989 and add reruns of Peter Tomarken's 1989 game show Wipeout and create interactive game shows that people can enjoy and watch. But one show I would like to see be made in a new version is Catch 21 because it was a favorite game show of mine that really deserves to be revived at GSN

I fully agree... even if they're on the GSN streaming station.

I wish old Jeopardy and Wheel Of Fortune episodes would come back.

icecream · 09-20-2017, 09:41 PM

Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune air in every syndicated market in the country at great times. What I would like GSN to bring back is Double Dare (not the Marc Summers one), the game show Alex Trebek hosted before Jeopardy! I saw a few episodes of it when they last had it but it would be nice to see regularly in a decent slot. Other game shows I would like to see again are Greed, Weakest Link, Win Ben Stein's Money, and a longer run of new episodes for GSN originals that were cancelled too soon like Grand Slam, The American Bible Challenge, 20Q, and The Chase. Also 500 Questions on ABC needed a much longer run, it is a real shame their audience prefers the trashy remakes. Dick Clark would be rolling over in his grave at how racy Pyramid has become.

Unfortunately I do not have a Buzzr affiliate. The only good retronet Fort Wayne has is Antenna TV.

Yeah, that's the problem when I point out things like that. The other person invariably replies "I don't get that network".
