    I watch the classics, but I don't mind the rest. It's the ones that can't be categorized here that cause problems.

    Classics attract GSN's audience the most, so I'll be curious to see where this goes.

    I voted "Classics".

    If GSN were to get more classics, I say try getting the game shows without trivia questions but I say acquire 80's Press Your Luck since that is based on a whammy board mostly, not questions. Game shows like Blockbusters, Tic Tac Dough, The Joker's Wild, etc... have outdated questions. I would say maybe acquire Jeopardy! from 2000-2002 to show in the morning on weekends maybe. And show maybe a recent season in the evening on weekends.

    Just suggestions.

    Like on Tic Tac Dough, when GSN used to air it. The show was from late 70's-early 80's. The questions on that show are old. Same goes for Blockbusters. The show is from the 80's. Same applies. And also Joker's Wild. Any trivia show from 60's, 70's or 80's the questions are outdated.

    I'd rather watch classics from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.

    I don't mind GSN originals that are game shows, like Lingo or Whammy.

    Things like Dancing and Improv should be nowhere near GSN.

    I want to watch a good traditional game show. I don't want to hear about how big someone's male organ is. I want to play along with a fun game (Chain Reaction, Password Plus, Match Game, Family Feud)

    I'd rather GSN get a more of a modern season of Jeopardy!, with the new studio/format. Looking at ratings now, the mid 2000's season of Jeopardy! isn't pulling in STRONG ratings but also isn't pulling in poor DWTSish ratings. A very modern season could be seen later in the mornings/early afternoons 7 days a week and pull 200K+ numbers.

    Semi-agreed, agreed, AGREED. But its harder now for GSN to get shows from the 50's and 60's. It's why GSN only gets a December lease on those late 50's/early 60's shows.

    Three of my four favorite GSN shows right there

    I wonder what would have happened if Improv was a hit on GSN? It was on the schedule a lot back in April and May, and if it got renewed its time on the whole schedule would have doubled to a Improv/GSN network. The show could have lasted for years on ABC Family, but not on GSN.

    Did anyone notice when Improv had new episodes weeknights at 8pm the show only got 100-150K ratings, but in its Saturday night 8-10PM block the show had twice those numbers.
