What should GSN do to the schedule?

[Lingofan97]

New thread here

Reopening the thread from earlier in 2011, I'm starting to realize how good the schedule was even with Love Triangle and Improv. And compared to this it was excellent in 2010 with Sherri and Jerry at 6 and 9pm, Deal or No Deal at 7 and 11pm, Feud at 8 & 10pm.

I'm really sick of seeing the same shows over and over again. For the mornings, there are hundreds of episodes of all sorts of classics that could be shown. In the afternoon, it's just Lingo, Whammy!, Catch 21 and Deal or No Deal from 12-4pm. We need some variety there, as for many other places of the schedule.

Now, the prime time lineup is poor with 5-6 hour marathons every night of shows we have many other opportunities to see. Baggage is every night at 6:30pm and 1:30am anyway, The Newlywed Game is weekly at 6pm, Deal or No Deal runs at 1 and 5pm plus all three of those shows are shown on weekends several times. And in the future, DWTS is going to be flooding the schedule as well.

It's time for GSN to go back to the ways they were with how their programming and scheduling was.

If you could choose or make up your own type of schedule, what would it be like?

GSN might as well close shop now that they're going to air Dancing with the Stars almost continuously. That's my advice.

First off, GSN should fire the idiots that made this stupid schedule. Then bring in shows that everyone will actually like.

GSN with their schedule is like Google with YouTube. They completely ruin it and piss a lot of people off. GSN, you are ruining your own network and are pissing everyone off!

Like I said, let's get Match Game PM and the Tattletales and Peter Marshall's Hollywood Squares because we want to see those again, right?

Yes Tattletales would do well at 8:30am and 11:30am (so we don't have two, two hour blocks of Match Game), Match Game at 8, Match Game PM at 11, Hollywood Squares at 9:30am. That's just with the schedule now but hopefully they would mix up the morning schedule for good too.

Or better yet, Match Game PM will have to be seen at 5 or 6:00pm now that I'm working. Tattletales would also have to be seen at 7 but the poll said 'Acquire new modern shows as in The Price Is Right', GSN would have to get a hold of CBS about that.

I doubt GSN would put classics anywhere close to prime time unless it's a "Flashback Friday" case.

I'm sorry, I didn't know. Or better yet, how about on the weekends like Game Show Saturday Night?

It would make good numbers but they wouldn't do that. They should air classics weekend mornings 9am-noon too instead of an hour of Whammy! and Sherriwed.

hey Doughboy319, would one of those fired idiots you speak of could be Amy Introcaso-Davis?

Yes.

Wipe the slate clean, get a PD who appreciates REAL game shows, and start over. That is all.

David Goldhill runs this network so I guess he interview's the people and just picks these people. Think about it. GSN is now trying to focus on the female audience so they have someone with experience with a network devoted to women or something like that I suppose.

I wonder how the female audience is their targeting audience though I mean, GSN doesn't show any women shows except maybe the dating shows like The Newlywed Game and Baggage. I hope you see what I am trying to say here.

GSN should just try going back to traditional game shows. Plain and simple.
