    So...what's with this new Scrabble-esque commercial?

    GSN seems to be promoting the block scheduling with its new scrabble-type of commercial, showcasing the different game shows starting at 7 pm all the way from Monday to Friday.

    Thoughts, anyone?

    I saw it and for a minute, I thought that GSN was about to show Scrabble but they don't have the rights to it.

    It's just a pill dispenser thing with the days of the week (M, T, etc.) on it. It only faintly looks like Scrabble tiles.

    I saw it and you beat me to posting a thread. I take it as GSN's last chance to promote block scheduling, which was just cut down. But I don't mind the commercial. It's not annoying and it's effective.

    Heheh, then my life's work has been successful. :P

    I also saw the new commercial promoting Deal or No Deal and I like it as well...

    As in, a Pez dispenser?

    Well I do. They're basically rerun abuse.

    Deal or No Deal doesn't have the worst GSN rerun abuse by far, but I'm glad to see it continuing to get cut back

    I think the show is getting old on GSN. I wouldn't mind it having a late night spot at like 12am ET but, that's it. It's not getting too old, but just old I think if you know what I mean.

    I don't know, something else could do better at midnight. I would rather have Deal or No Deal 7pm weeknights, 1pm weekends and Midnight on weekends. But the 1pm weekday slot has to go

    Ignoring the response above me, I (and many others) know exactly what you mean. The rerun abuse is old, plain and simple. Deal simply never recovered from the massive abuse it took not too long ago, and pretty soon all the versions of Feud will suffer a similar fate (if they aren't already starting to).

    Nah; just like those things with the days of the week you open to get your pills out of.

    I sure wish they would show Scrabble (it would get ratings!), but that probably won't happen anytime soon....

    I think it's a commercial advertising shows they have. Nothing more, nothing less.

    The good thing is about DOND is that within the past six months on the weekday schedule it has gone down from 22.5 hours of daytime (counting the syndicated version) to 9 hours of daytime. I couldn't be happier with that
