Multiple Changes over the Next Month

[Chameleonwhammy]

First of on Monday, Bob Eubanks Card Sharks will air at 11:00am. Match Game still keeps it's other slots. That will start at episode #1

Then in February, Dancing With The Stars gets cut down. Wow it hasn't even aired yet. On February 11th the marathon ends at 1:00am. GSN originals such as Newlywed Game and Baggage take over.

On Friday February 17th, the marathons also end at 1:00am. Karn Feud will air for 2 hours. However, at 3:00am it's a double run of Jim Perry's Card Sharks. Hm. That might be an error, but we'll see.

Then it ends at 11:00pm the next week, and the other stuff expands.

Episode #1 as in MG'73? Or are we going through the Groundhog Day syndrome and watching halfway through '74-'75 again?

[Chameleonwhammy]

Eubanks CS will be Episode #1. It's still MG74 at 11:30.

Ugh! Though while I am disappointed, really I am not one bit surprised.

Well, I am absolutely not shocked about Eubanks' Card Sharks starting at the premiere once again. That goes to show that GSN is rerun-abuse central.

Guess I can continue devoting that slot to recording TPIR after all. But I am still eagerly awaiting the day they pick up more CS episodes.

And what other stuff expands on during the week of February 20 to 24?

[Chameleonwhammy]

Just Karn and Sherri and Jerry after the long DWTS block.

I don't know what the Groundhog Day syndrome is.

I don't know what the Groundhog Day syndrome is.

...Phil wakes up to find that he is reliving February 2. The day plays out exactly as it did before, with no one else aware of the time loop, and only Phil aware of past events...

I like the change with Eubanks Card Sharks at 11am. It should get better numbers there plus I'm tired of double Match Game at 11am. That's been a pretty low-rated hour the past year or so. Since $25,000 Pyramid is off the air for now, I wish they would air it at 8am, so we limit Match Game to 2 airings a day.

We don't need more Family Feud at 11:00am, or do we?

[dtheine]

I want Tattletales back on GSN!

[jhshifris]

I want Tattletales back on GSN!

So do I but it will never happen.

[dtheine]

So do I but it will never happen.

But I want GSN to pull DWTS after a weekend or two, then sell the DWTS reruns to BBC America's mix, then let GSN be put up for sale, get sold to Fremantle, and get the rights to 100% of the Goodson-Todman classics back.

I've uploaded all the pdfs through February to the blog. Let me know if there are any problems accessing them.

By the way, I've noticed that Alex has been a lot quicker in uploading the pdfs lately to his site. I guess GSN wanted to coax him along a little by e-mailing me the pdfs, too.

[Lingofan97]

We don't need more Family Feud at 11:00am, or do we?

No we don't. We don't even need it twice in the mornings.

[Chameleonwhammy]

I just had a thought (this is all pure speculation on my part)

It's been almost 2 years since they've been airing the same episodes of the G-T series. Network Match Game, Dawson Family Feud and both network versions of Card Sharks. With recent changes, I'm wondering if GSN is doing a setup for new episodes of those series plus more. Maybe they're planning on keeping 7x with different episodes at 11:30, and possibly SYN and PM in the 8:00am hour. And with Card Sharks at 4 a day (with Perry possibly getting a 3-a-day) they might bring Rafferty's Card Sharks in one of those slots. Who knows?
