What GSN acquired series should have lasted longer?

[Lingofan97]

GSN has done a good job with acquiring modern game shows lately, but some of them, in my opinion have not lasted as long as they should have.

Million Dollar Password (CBS): 2 seasons; 2008-09
Power of 10 (CBS): 1 season; 2007-08
1 vs. 100 (NBC): 2 seasons; 2006-08
Deal or No Deal (NBC): 4 seasons; 2005-09
Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? (FOX): 3 seasons; 2007-09

Hey Lingofan97, i chose 1 vs. 100, basically because of the show's format and their mob members (some were famous but most of them weren't) ... also i loved Bob Saget as the host. It was awesome to see him on tv again.

[Lingofan97]

NBC's 1 vs 100 was a good format, and a good gameplay. It should have lasted longer, and had that good Friday night slot too

For sure, but as always it seems like anything interesting and with a excellent format gets cancelled way to soon.

that basically describes all primetime game shows on FOX!

[Lingofan97]

But this was NBC...the show I didn't know did that badly.

LOL yes it sure does.

[patnvanna83]

But this was NBC...the show I didn't know did that badly.

i know that but these were also modern game shows that aired on NBC in primetime as well:

The Weakest Link (2001-2002)
Dog Eat Dog (2002-2003)
Deal or no Deal (2005-2009)
My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad (2008)
Amne$ia (2008)
Minute To Win It (2010-2011)
Who Still Standing? (2011-2012)

also Fear Factor (2001-2006/2011) does not count since it was more of a Reality Show than a Game Show.

[Chameleonwhammy]

The first 3 on the list.

Yeah i loved The Weakest Link, Dog Eat Dog and Fear Factor (even the gross stunts lol)

The Weakest Link, Dog Eat Dog, & Deal or no Deal?

No, Million Dollar Password, Power of 10, 1 vs. 100 (Saget)

No, Million Dollar Password, Power of 10, 1 vs. 100 (Saget)

oh i'm sorry, for a minute their i thought you were talking about my list.

[SpeedAndStrategy]

1 vs. 100 got screwed by NBC, and Million Dollar Password was cancelled just because it skewed old. So I voted for those two. DoND and 5th Grader, on the other hand, definitely ran their course. Not sure about Power of 10 - it did get low ratings in its second season, but to be fair, wasn't it scheduled directly against DoND?

[phimat37]

Every show except for Deal or No Deal. I say that because, Deal or No Deal did last a few years I believe. I really would've liked to have seen Power of 10 last though. I never watched it when it aired on CBS but when it aired in reruns on GSN, I really liked it.
