If you want classics, your dreams have now been fulfilled. Next Friday, DWTS will drop out of the schedule to make way for $100,000 Pyramid and other classics. Your thoughts?

I'm happy, are you?
I'm quite pleased, and this was a smart business move. Primetime ratings were being dragged down on Friday nights, and a strong Classic such as Pyramid will pull that back up. Less hours of DWTS should mean more viewers will watch it on the weekend. If that doesn't happen, then they're in real trouble, and will probably pull the show from those days as well, and have to chalk it up as another loss and move on, hopefully with their shirt. And then look forward to more proven Classics in the future!
Thank God. I am thrilled to death. That means I can watch gsn now on Friday nights. I hope to be able to watch them on Saturdays and during the day on Sundays sometime soon.Originally Posted by Gameheadz
Yes. They should've let viewers get abused by last weekend's reruns in the first place.
I know I am! This was absolutely the right move!
But, what version of The $100,000.00 Pyramid will we see, Dick's or John's?
Dick Clark's. If it were Davidson, I'd shoot my television jk.
Definitely something I will watch.
With the ratings DWTS was getting this makes sense. As we all said, overkill was a bad idea!
I've posted the pdfs for the next three weeks, Feb 13-19, Feb 20-26, and Feb 27-Mar 4 at the blog. DWTS gets cut back big time, which is no surprise considering the ratings. 100K Pyramid takes over Friday nights. There may be a few other changes, though I didn't notice anything major. As always, don't trust the pdfs.
But thanks to GSN for e-mailing me the new schedules, trustworthy or not. If you have any trouble accessing the pdfs on the acrobat.com site, leave me a message here or at the blog. Have to admit I'm surprised that DWTS flopped so hard. I figured it was a perfect demo fit for GSN's audience. Shows what I know. At least I might watch GSN on Friday night again.
Now, Casey, Dancing With The Stars is only for 4 hours on Saturdays and on Sundays from what I saw on the schedules and that's good but do you believe that it will only be seen once a week after the ratings will start going down?
DWTS gets more than four-hour blocks on the pdfs. Five-hour blocks Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, sometimes a little more to fit in longer eps. But I've given up trying to predict the GSN schedule. Changes more often than the weather.Now, Casey, Dancing With The Stars is only for 4 hours on Saturdays and on Sundays from what I saw on the schedules and that's good but do you believe that it will only be seen once a week after the ratings will start going down?
GSN did say in the last Press Release I believe that the female audience is the audience that watches the network. If it's the female audience watching the network, they were probably fine with traditional game shows. I'm not surprised this flopped.
I tried to tell you it was going to be a bomb. There's two major reasons for this. One is: It's too new. Don't look too much into this. When a show airs that was on network TV in the last six months, it's too damn new. You still remember what happened beforehand.
Second, and most importantly, and I hope that the people in GSN's programming department eventually understand this. reality shows are only good for one shot out of the cannon. What the hell were they thinking putting this show on twenty hours a week? Did they really think that GSN's audience would A) want to watch this stuff THAT much, and B ) would want to watch the same episodes every four to five weeks?
Upcoming Shows: Iron Maiden, Devore, September 13
Kamelot, Anaheim, September 21
Yeah I went back to the original DWTS thread, and you were WAY wrong. You predicted the show would easily get about 500,000 viewers, and would easily become GSN's most watched show. You also told us all we didn't know what we were talking about, and that we didn't depict GSN's real audience.
How does it feel to be wrong?
BTW, I liked how Alex Davis told us that this decision was much more smarter than The Amazing Race. I hate that show as well, but didn't TAR do its job for a little while. Didn't it lower the demos slightly, and also get a 0.3-0.4, something that Dancing has yet to see? Maybe we are a depiction on the real audience of GSN, somewhat.
