New promo for classics

[Lingofan97]

Which, of course, is unprovable. GSN is a minor niche network. When they get a "hit" (by GSN standards) they have to run with it big time.

That is how other cable networks work most of the time.

I think you meant just the opposite. But when a smaller network like GSN gets a "hit", they do indeed splatter it all over. They're making hay while the sun shines. Even larger cable outlets run their hits ragged. History must have shown Pawn Stars 88 gazillion times by now. Lord knows how many times each ep of the relatively limited run has been recycled.

Networks like TruTv, A&E, Food Network and sometimes HGTV will get a hit and air the show 3 or 4 times a day

Or 20 times a day. But I sometimes enjoy watching shows like Storage Wars, and I might actually turn on the channel at 6:00pm, and it still be there at 3:00am. That's over 9 hours which is 18 episodes in a row! I'm glad they've decided to mix it up a bit, by sticking in a few episodes of the Texas version, and I enjoyed the Shipping Wars, even though it was a limited run, and each episode was repeated every week.

The only modern show I can see doing that on GSN would be Harvey Feud. I really enjoy that show. I probably won't be saying the same thing in a few weeks after all of the episodes have repeated a dozen times, but for now it's pretty cool.

I'm also the type that loves holidays to tune into each network to see what they have going for them. Like a 24hr Pawn Stars Marathon on History, or Diners, Drive-ins & Dives marathon on Food. Catch up on the episodes I've missed.

If GSN has Card Sharks and $100,000 Pyramid in the promo for classics, and GSN likely no longer has the rights to air both those shows, what's the point of having such shows in the promos if they don't air anymore? Doesn't that seem redundant?

Maybe the promo with Card Sharks clips included might mean they may still have the rights to air such show - they probably just wanted to give it a rest for a while, until they possibly pick up fresh episodes. But take what I said with a grain of salt.

Dumb decision by GSN. (False advertising) GSN does still have the rights to both those shows for the seasons they had but just don't show them since they think there's not enough time on the schedule and do not want to extend classics past noon

Perhaps this promo was made prior to the acquisition of Super Password and Password Plus; it is likely that when this promo was made Card Sharks and $100K Pyramid were still on the schedule. Unfortunately they didn't get around to airing the promo until now after the schedule change, and so technically it is false advertising, but it is not exactly the end of the world. The only show in the promo that is not aired at all anymore is Card Sharks. Sure the $100K Pyramid (which was in the promo) doesn't air anymore either, but they do air the $25K Pyramid, which is exactly the same thing for all intents and purposes.

I'll cut Woolery Lingo some slack, it could pass for a classic nowadays.

It's been rumoured that the cost of acquiring Scrabble is high, but it'd be great if GSN could acquire that, and pair it with Woolery Lingo for an hour daily.

For the advertisement for $25,000 Pyramid tonight, the announcer said "the $25,000 Pyramid tonight at 7" but the screen said

$100,000 Pyramid
Tonight 7/6c

They're making the exact same mistakes in name as they often do on the episodes themselves.

Saw the promo. Basically promotes everything from 8am-4pm. Everything but the Passwords, Karn Feud and Catch-21 is in there.

I haven't seen this promo yet, but every show is in there except Password and Karn Feud?

I hope A&E renews Shipping Wars for a second season. It premiered to 3 million viewers. Not sure how the other episodes performed. It was a very short run - 10 episodes over 5 weeks. I was still shocked when I saw the Season Finale being promoted so soon after the Series Premiere.

Everybody should remember what network we're talking about here

I think it's the same network actually, what with GSN's recent production order of Pure Gold, Family Trade, War of the Rose Sisters, et al.
