Your least favorite classic on GSN right now

[Lingofan97]

Six classics currently airing on GSN now, Family Feud (Dawson), Match Game, Password Plus, Super Password, $100,000 Pyramid and The $25,000 Pyramid. Forget ratings. Forget rerun abuse. What is your least favorite classic currently on GSN right now that they could take off the air, and what classic should they replace it with?

I'm going to get it good for this, but I said Password Plus. To be fair, I still like to watch it, and it was really like choosing the lesser of six great classics.

I had to say Super Password. I like all the classics, but the Password versions were my least favorites, to be honest though I do like them. The $25/100K Pyramid are my favorite classics on GSN right now, Family Feud (Dawson) and Match Game come second. And the Password versions come Third.

Cake or Death?

Anyway, if I had to choose my least favorite, it's going to be Super Password. I enjoy those other shows a lot (I do enjoy SP though)

[Lingofan97]

Password Plus and Super Password are both very similar to me, but Password Plus has been wearing on me lately. I'm starting to like Super Password better. The Cashword is OK, and the faster gameplay (only four clues per word) makes the show better. But Password Plus is more of a classic to me when it comes to the set, while Super Password is MUCH more modern

Basically everybody is enjoying all the classics for the most part. No bad ones, like ex. Love Connection. But what classic would everybody replace it with if we still had to keep six or more classics on the schedule?

I'd replace it with a classic we haven't seen for a while. Maybe either version of Blockbusters, or Match Game 1990 (I know it's not really a "classic," per se, but still), or heck, go all the way and lease a season of Press Your Luck. I'm sure they can afford it. If nothing else can be done, at least put Card Sharks back.

Cake or Death?

Uh... death, please. No -- CAKE! CAKE!

[phimat37]

I would LOVE it if GSN brought back the original 1980's Press Your Luck. I miss that greatly.

Uh... death, please. No -- CAKE! CAKE!

Hahaha, YOU SAID DEATH FIRST. ahahahaha DEATH FIRST!

Anyway, if I could, I'd replace Super Password with Jim Perry's Card Sharks

I agree with that. If anything, here's what I would do since Super Password gets respectable ratings at 11am. Put Super Password at 10am and Card Sharks (Perry) at 11am or the other way around considering Perry did well at 10am. But I'd just try that because 11am is the death slot.

This isn't a schedules thread, so I won't do more changes, but there is more I would do.

I would say Super Password is my least favorite and probably replace it with Card Sharks (Perry or Bill Rafferty's version) or heck even Blockbusters (either one, though I like Bill Cullen's version a little better).

Match Game is my least favorite. Too outdated for me.

[Lingofan97]

Card Sharks last time at 11am did poorly, even though it was the Eubanks version instead of Perry. Super Password is a really good lead out after The $25,000 Pyramid, which means SP gets some of the highest numbers of the morning, or even the highest rated classic.

I would LOVE it if GSN brought back the original 1980's Press Your Luck. I miss that greatly.

Whammy! does very well in the 130 episodes it has right now which have probably cycled through the schedule a hundred times since 2002, especially lately with its additional time slots. Press Your Luck would be great to have back

Dawson Feud for me. Although I respect Dawson's hosting abilities, his version could get a little too slow paced and chatty for my liking, and I could never get that into it - certainly not as much so as Match Game 7x, the Pyramids, and the NBC Passwords. (Though Super Password could also fall into the same trap sometimes.)

Okay, I can actually agree that Super Password is a great lead out from 25K Pyramid, but something like that could work at 10am I think. Perry wouldn't be a great lead out?

Dawson seems to be in the lead right now. His version took up too much time between the start of the show and the first question. I'm just afraid people would be mad that GSN took off Dawson too shortly after his death.

A word association game is another good lead out to The $25,000 Pyramid, since Clark does so well that viewers will continue to watch another word-association game. That's also why we have Chain Reaction in the mornings now. Card Sharks would be best at 9:30am (Eubanks) and 10am (Perry) right now. Perry always did well in the 10am hour with The $25,000 Pyramid, and Eubanks would be a good lead in to the 10am hour, and Password Plus would be a good lead in to a Card Sharks hour

Also then, $100,000 Pyramid could either stay (moving it to 11:30am), or go. CR does alright, but I'd leave to its best slot at 3:30pm
