A Few Changes Happening Next Week (4/30)

[Lingofan97]

Something to keep in mind, many of the networks have a plethora of 1 hour shows. So, they have 24 timeslots to fill a day. GSN has by and large half hour shows. That's 48 timeslots a day to fill. Doing it with 17 shows is ridiculous.

Well, 4 of those hours are paid programming (used to be 5). And, GSN has different versions of shows such as Family Feud and Lingo, so that helps. GSN has 40 times slots with 17 shows. GSN could simply bring Card Sharks back. That's 18. They could show modern Password in the noon hour which we know they have access too. That's 19. GSN could pick up a cheap lease on modern WWTBA Millionaire or even Cash Cab. That's 20. And I hate to say it but GSN could have just pushed DWTS to late nights like they did with High Stakes Poker. We could still have 20 shows running on GSN. But, I think the 10am-6pm and after midnight schedules are fine.

I should also say GSN is developing hour-long episodes of American Bible Challenge, and potentially "Beat the Chefs". Both real game shows, and an hour long each. That will boost the schedule if they succeed.

I severely edited my post after you sent yours and before I saw this. Here what the edited one said:

Something to keep in mind, many of the networks have a plethora of 1 hour shows, not all but many do. So, they have 24 timeslots to fill a day (let's say 20-26 removing paid programming and figuring up a smattering of half hour shows). GSN has by and large half hour shows. That's 48 timeslots a day to fill (35-40 if you remove paid programming). Doing it with 17 shows and paid probrammimg is too much.

GSN needs to do one of two things:
1.) add more shows from EVERYWHERE to give variety to the schedule, or
2.) Keep their few shows and run whatever shows they want from 8-noon, repeat it from noon-4, then do some sort of late afternoon shows before leading to the prime time block and late night.

GSN can add shows like Card Sharks, $20,000 Pyramid, Classic Hollywood Squares and Tattletales. Then, shows like WWTBA Millionaire, Who's Still Standing, Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune. But GSN will never put classics on again in the near future in the mid to late afternoon. This year alone I could see GSN pushing Woolery later into the day and airing classics at noon, but that's about it

Would you Shut up with that. Everybody here and on Invision is tired of this little argument from you.

Gee, if you keep talking to me so harshly, I might cry or something. Anyway, to state the obvious again...if three hundred new eps (to recent GSN use) of a pre-1990 show got the same treatment as Harvey Feud is getting now, there would be zero complaints from this board. In fact, there would probably be hosannas of praise from this board.

Can you imagine the sheer joy around here if GSN splattered three hundred new (to the network) eps of, say, Clark Pyramid all over the schedule, just as they're now doing with Harvey Feud?

That could be happening soon with $25,000 Pyramid but we know that's NEVER happening in those time slots with those ratings. Harvey Feud is working out for GSN so far, so I'm not one to complain

I don't know where your getting this from. Go back to page 2 of this thread and read some of the comments. Like what Pyramidpower14, said in post 21. And if people want to get all happy and excited that GSN would get different episodes of certain pre-1990 shows, like 25k Pyramid, what's the big deal? You even said you wouldn't mind such new episodes. Again, please go back and read some of the posts, including the one I linked to. Some people still don't think that airing 25k Pyramid on Friday nights for 10 episodes is a wise move. The 10:30am daytime airings are just fine for some, including me.

I'm getting this from your own next comment...

No big deal at all. You're exactly right. There would be zero complaints about exactly the same use (as Harvey Feud) of three hundred new eps of a pre-1990 show. Instead, folks around here would be overjoyed if those three hundred eps got as much exposure as Harvey Feud is getting now.

Again, please go back to page 2 of this thread and read some of the posts, like the one I linked to. Also, one more thing, I don't expect the network to air Clark's Pyramid as many times as Feud in a day.

I did. And all people are complaining about is overuse of eps that GSN has run a lot recently. If three hundred new eps of a pre-1990 show suddenly cropped up on the network as often as Harvey Feud, there would be zero complaints. There would probably be (figurative) dancing in the streets around here.

I take it you missed this part of pyramidpower14's post:

"If GSN gets new eps. in a couple weeks, then that is fantastic, but I still don't like the Friday night overkill, because this just means the new package of episodes they potentially acquire will get run through that much quicker."

Does that make sense to you?

[CaseyAbell]

Does that make sense to you?

Folks around her practically fainted with joy when GSN started the pre-1990 Friday block. Just as they hollered when GSN briefly replaced the block with Dancing With the Stars. If the network had put 300 new eps (to recent or maybe any GSN use) of the pre-1990 shows on Friday night and lots of other places on the schedule, this place might have melted down with glee.

Come on, this is stating the obvious. I'm not saying it's bad. It's just what would have happened. I don't even know why this assertion is controversial.

If GSN leases more Dawson Feud and Perry Card Sharks and extends the classics block weekly to the noon hour or maybe 1pm, then I would be happy with GSN foe a while. But as Buzzerblog stated a month ago, Family Feud (Harvey) is finally a good GSN acquisition.

I agree completely. You and lots of other folks around here would be really, really happy. So why is it controversial when I state this obvious fact?

I'm not making controversy over it. I've been doing my best to state honest facts too.

[pzimm7778]

So in another words, no it doesn't make sense to him. The fact that we have all stated we don't care how many episodes of a show there are we don't want it on as much as Harvey's Feud is will continue to fall on deaf ears because that isn't in the agenda he wants to believe exist and talk about. Nevermind the two pages of posts here, we would never let facts get in the way of a strawman argument. I really don't care what others said about Friday Night Classics block, I know I felt the same way I do now, "who cares, it's the same episodes over and over." Let me break this down for you so there can be no misunderstanding and I think based on what most have said here they agree: I don't care if they leased every single solitary episode of the Match Game, Jokers Wild, Tic Tac Dough, Family Feud, Price is Right, Password, Card Sharks, Pyramid, and Chain Reaction franchises. I DO NOT WANT THEM AIRING MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY UNLESS THEY ARE REPEATING ONES OVERNIGHT FROM EARLIER IN THE DAY AND I WOULD BE HERE COMPLAINING IF THEY DID.
