Why was Whammy cancelled?

[Lingofan97]

should this topic be in the GSN Originals forum instead of the GSN Classics forum?

True. I think we already had one there. But with the way GSN is going, the 2002-2003 Whammy! will be counted as a "classic" in a year or so.

oh really, then tell that to the 1999-2002 GSN original All New 3's A Crowd with Alan Thicke, I dare ya!

[QUOTE=Skydragon3;60220] if they'd look back on their history and see their original logo, and remember what the initial GSN stand for, then maybe they'd open their eyes from black and white to the color it used to be! GSN means Game Show Network. Not Game/Reality show Network. QUOTE]

On March 15, 2004 at 10:00 PM, Game Show Network began using the abbreviation GSN and introduced the tagline "The Network for Games", a move in line with the network expanding its programming to include the genre of reality television and various other competitions.

This is their offical name: Game Show Network, LLC (GSN)...Just in case you don't know what ' LLC ' stands for behind a company's name : LLC Stands for Limited Liability Company ....The LLC provides business owners with a shield of protection. Owners are not personally liable for the debts and obligations of the business. In addition, this type of legal entity offers a single layer of taxation which minimizes taxes for owners and even allows active members to take a deduction against other income if the business generates losses. The benefits do not end with protection and taxes. The limited liability company also allows flexibility for business owners to tailor who they want their business to operate and be managed. You are not forced to fit into a one size fits all governance structure.


December 1994 - March 2004, Yes GSN (Game Show Network) was cater to Games only (classics and orginals); However, GSN is a multimedia entertainment company that offers original and classic game programming and competitive entertainment...Everything that's shown on GSN is real = reality..

And this is what the network still be now. Not reality. 50% classics; 40% originals; 10% acquiring good game shows. (1 vs. 100, Millionaire, Million Dollar Password, Family Feud), not trash like Dancing with the Stars. I wonder what the GSN administration from the 90's thinks of the network now.

[patnvanna83]

GSN administration from the 90's thought: if you like to see game shows from the 1990's to be aired on GSN again, then you can go screw yourself!

In a word, YES!

[patnvanna83]

That's (kind of) the GSN I like. Not letting the schedule getting taken over by modern game shows (or reality shows). But now that's changed. Modern acquisitions do better than any original any time lately, but we should still have much more classics.

this network should have been classics and new original game shows in the first place.

I still think GSN should split there air time 20/30/50. 20% fresh classics, 30% new originals, 50% modern acquisitions.
