Toddlers and Tiaras is coming to GSN this summer. Did the promo specify a date for when it would debut? If I remember correctly, it said sometime in June. That's not too far away. And yes, this show does not belong on any network. It's one of the worst shows ever created and GSN thinks it's a good idea to air it? I still can't get over this. Honestly, people should give GSN hell on social media for this. Twitter, Facebook, you name it. GSN should NOT be airing this show. It's disgusting in every sense of the word.

Toddlers and Tiaras is coming to GSN this summer. But...but I-I just-ghejehe- ... What the **** is wrong with you, GSN?!I have no problem with the subject matter if the kids are participating of their own volition, there's nothing skeezy going on, everyone plays nice, and the competitors aren't spending themselves into crippling debt...but from what I've read, that kind of stuff makes up maybe 1% of Toddlers & Tiaras, easily one of the most disgusting pieces of television ever made (read its TV Tropes pages and you'll see what I mean). Looking up an episode list, TLC ran the show for six(!) seasons between 2009-13 before bringing it back last year...and then apparently canning the show for good. Given that, the one question I have (other than "WHY?!") is whether GSN is just airing a repeat package or they're *shudder* actually planning to make new episodes. Probably not related, but a Google search for toddlers & tiaras GSN pointed me to this Cynopsis page with job postings (dated April 2017) for Executive Director Programming, VP Development, and Marketing Specialist positions at GSN.

Someone on the Game Show Forum said that GSN went back to 1974 with the 8 AM airings of Match Game. Wonder if this was permanent or just a one-off.
As for Toddlers and Tiaras... yeah, that's pretty close to the last thing I'd want to see on GSN. But I don't even get the network anymore, so what do I matter?

Is that you all do, is copy paste your tripe from here to your lonely blog? And for you to keep quoting GSF, the very board you DESPISE! I don't get it. Not one bit. Hi. We have an ignore users option. If you don't like what Casey's saying, you can put him on ignore. If this kind of bashing continues in this thread (by anyone and to anyone), I will lock it so I can clean up all of the trash-throwing towards others so it looks like everyone's been playing nice.

There's one big thing that concerns me about Toddlers and Tiaras coming to GSN that I forgot to mention.
This show has a cult following, right? If it does, then you know what might happen? If those fans flock over to GSN to watch this show and it does well ratings wise, we might be stuck with this show on the schedule for a while. The thought of that happening is scary. It would give GSN the idea that shows like this are welcome on the network. News flash: they're not. I hope T&T flops hard.

Toddlers and Tiaras? Oh geez....I'm speechless as to why they'd acquire this turd. I'd rather have more Harvey Feud to be honest.

Sounds like a child beauty pageant, only with toddlers and not female kindergarteners and first-graders. I have to admit, the 2001 reboot of Card Sharks is more enjoyable.
Speaking of which, could the idea of T&T have been inspired by a week of Eubanks' Card Sharks from February 1988 with child beauty pageant winners as the audience polling group, and it may be part of the current lease? Keep in mind that if the lease has roughly 200 episodes, we may end up seeing those February 1988 episodes with such audience polling group, and airing that week may be designed to plug T&T. We should see that week of Eubanks' Card Sharks in June, if it does air, and maybe T&T will launch on GSN that same week.

Time to show Amy Davis the door. And the sooner, the better. Rehire Bob Boden?

The moment T&T shows up on the schedule is the day I drop GSN from my Dish Flex pack. They won't be getting any more money from me.

Somehow I seriously doubt that. I really do. Still, I'm confounded by this acquisition. The show is trash. Just gives me more of an excuse to watch Buzzr....or spend some time outdoors. At least on the bright side, they didn't acquire Dance Moms.....(maybe I should keep my mouth shut )

Both The Amazing Race (after initial success) and Dancing With the Stars flopped pretty badly for the network. Can only hope this does go the way of other reality nonsense like the horrific originals/acquisitions from 2004. This reeks of the same bottom of the barrel they scraped Fake a Date, Vegas Weddings, and Kenny vs. Spenny from.

Forgive me if I sense some overreactions here. While I understand hating specific shows, I would never turn off an entire channel based only on that.
I have never expected that I would love every show on every channel, and have always thought it made sense to pick and choose to watch what I like from each specific channel, and then tune out when I don't like the other shows. While I have certain favorite channels because I either like most of their programs, or more of their programs than other channels, I don't have to like everything for that channel to be elevated in my view.
Bottom line is that even if GSN were showing 23 hours/day of T & T alongside 1 hour of MG74 reruns, I would still watch GSN for that one hour a day, and would continue to watch GSN as long as it has something to offer me, regardless of my distaste for other parts of the schedule.

Although I actually kind of enjoyed Kenny vs. Spenny when it was on the network. I'll leave now
