What should GSN do to the schedule?

[Lingofan97]

If were talking about Saturday nights, I hate to say it but the schedule should stay as it is. The whole 7-hour block of three versions of Family Feud every week is hard to digest, but Saturdays always do so well between DOND at 2pm, two hours of The Newlywed Game, Harvey hour at 5pm, and then Karn/O'Hurley all night. Not to mention late nights always light up with NG/Baggage and Catch 21

I did it the way I did it so GSN doesn't over expose, if you know what I mean. I mean, Family Feud and Fifth Grader are the top rated shows on the schedule, so that's kind of why I did it like I did.

In the future, if GSN picks up a new lease of WWTBA Millionaire/Jeopardy!/Wheel of Fortune, I could see it airing in the later half/third of Saturday nights and doing well. It seems like Saturday and Sunday nights have been doing well for GSN lately.

True but I wait for the day the ratings start stinking with block scheduling, and as I kept saying before, I am a big fan of Family Feud with Karn, O'Hurley and Harvey. Hopefully it lasts a long time on GSN.

I think that only applies with Monday-Friday (minus Wednesday)

True, but it can happen eventually on every day. GSN should just go with a schedule and stick with it Mon - Fri. Weekends, I don't mind the block scheduling that much.

Hoping that GSN will not include 2 hours of Harvey Feud a night if they do that. For GSN to go back to a Monday-Friday schedule they need to acquire another modern game show

Back in 2008-2009 they did have Vieira's Who Wants to be a Millionaire? and, if I recall, it actually did well so, I don't see why GSN took it off. Well, at a time they did shove it at 3:30am ET or somewhere in there. That would work good, I think if GSN aired it again. Maybe at 10:00pm or something.

Some people said it didn't do that well, but back then and in 2009 and early 2010 the show needed a major format change, and got one. So I think with the new format the show would do better

Probably.

I'm sorry but GSN can not show the Dating Game because of music clearances

and they also can not afford 1983 Wheel Of Fortune.

As far as Wheel goes, he did say "1983-present", so that could mean any season of nighttime.

Which would be a major improvement to the schedule IMO.

[jhshifris]

Any season? But Sony still wants too much for it.

[Lingofan97]

We will most likely not see any Wheel of Fortune on GSN for a long time. I think we have a better possibility now of getting a (more) modern season of Jeopardy! GSN is probably testing how Jeopardy! will do at noon on weekdays now, and then if it does well we will probably see a new season in the next six months.
