    'Baggage' reviews

    Take a look at the front page of tv.gsn.com. GSN is taking the lead that other networks are doing, and for the first time ever are really advertising good reviews. Here are some...

    "Very Entertaining" -Yahoo!
    "So amazingly ridiculous" -The Frisky
    "The greatest TV show ever" -The Awl

    I say Baggage was successful for GSN, but GSN started to schedule it poorly. But in my opinion, Baggage never saw rerun abuse

    Makes a big difference if there isn't rerun abuse.

    What in the Hell?
    It's a good show but, not the greatest EVER.

    Their browser title page needs to be updated. It mentions HSP, Love Triangle and Improv-a-ganza.

    The show is trash, I think. There are far better shows out there but not Baggage. Idiots.

    Really? I never thought Baggage has ever had rerun abuse on the schedule. Right now, Baggage only has 14 slots a week, and that's not much at all. I think it deserves a few more somewhere. There are 300 episodes too, so I can't imagine any rerun abuse yet.

    I noticed that months ago and they desperately need to change it. I also don't think shows like Lingo should even be on there anymore if its cancelled, but any mention of Love Triangle, Poker and Improv need to go

    Not to go off-topic, but I'd say Greed was the greatest TV show ever.

    I'd go as far to say that Baggage is the best GSN produced show ever. I don't think that it is a stretch to say that, given the multitude of GSN bred stinkers.

    While Lingo is more of a true game show and is better in that sense, Baggage is already syndicated. I don't think any other GSN program has been.

    This site is terrible at updating their stuff. What's up with that?

    Baggage is just another fake show, Jerry Springer good at that!

    Agreed. I thought Love Connection with Chuck Woolery was just full of Hollywood C-actors, but Baggage is more D-actors.

    Really? You mean those aren't real, non actors?
    I always thought they were non actors except one guy on Love Connection would was named Robert....... er....... Maggot.

    Some of them have actually been listed in imdb.com, besides Jerry and Chucky.

    I never said that it was being abused, what I said was "Makes a big difference if there isn't rerun abuse" meaning that they had not been doing the rerun abuse on this show. Thank goodness. Because it is a ridiculous show, and how people could ever put that past on tv like that boggles my mind... I just don't understand why they would bring out their garbage and wave it in public.

    I'd say Lingo and Baggage are the best two, highly rated originals. Actually, their longest running originals are Lingo (Woolery) and The Newlywed Game. But it's going to be interesting to see what Baggage will bring us in syndication, and if GSN will be allowed to air it.

    I don't know, but on the right hand of the screen was cleared finally. Now we have a Newlywed Game casting call, retro rewind, The Newlywed Game "after glow", something for Baggage and High Stakes Poker. So I would say for now the website is being updated pretty well, but during 2011 is was pretty bad. Maybe the new administration helped.

    Actors? Contestants get paid $500 to come on the show.

    For that price, I would make up baggage and hope to get "voted off" for the middle one of them.
