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. Normally I would agree. But for a network to endorse a child exploitation show like T&T, that's boycott material for me.

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... 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 ) Dance Fever would be a better acquisition. But music clearances might be an issue.

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. I completely understand where you're coming from. I'll continue to watch the shows I love on GSN and pass on the stuff I don't like. However, like dare2be said though, having a show like T&T on the Game Show Network is boycott worthy. I won't turn off this network for good because of this, but more people should let GSN know that this show isn't welcome on the network and hopefully they'll think twice before making this decision final.

This is it. Time for me to clean up the bullshit. Thread locked.
EDIT: Thread unlocked. Guys, can you stop the fist fights with each other? I'm not going to do this again. Next person to mouth off to another's getting a warning.

I couldn't find a way to voice my concerns to GSN, other than through social media. Is there no other way?

Hey this my first post but I have lurked off and on in the past couple years as well as the old GSN forums. I made this account because I wanted to post that I'm pretty sure GSN didn't actually acquire Toddlers and Tiaras. They mentioned the the show in ads for Emogenius, the new emoji-based game show coming in June. They showed the baby and crown emojis followed by "What show is this" as an example for the types of questions that would appear in the show.
Of course if anyone has a source showing they acquired the show to prove me wrong I'd be glad to see it, but until then its not worth arguing over something that's not even happening lol

I hope you're right, uga. Welcome to the board. If you are right, you will have saved me some embarrassment by not raising a stink to GSN.

Not once did I think that would be the name of a game show and it was just trolling us. I really hope you're right uga. T&T is not a show that belongs on the network, so hopefully this was just trolling on GSN's part by getting us to think that T&T was coming to the network. Welcome to the site by the way. Enjoy your stay. Before I forget, if T&T truly isn't coming to GSN, then I must say I'm sorry for being the first to bring this up. I just saw the commercial during Deal Or No Deal on Sunday morning and immediately assumed T&T was coming to GSN. Apparently that's not going to be the case. Instead, it's for a summer show called Emogenius (stupid name for a show by the way, but I digress). If this was the source of all the tension that resulted in this topic being temporarily being closed, then I'm sorry. That wasn't my goal. I'm also sorry to Casey for my comment from a week ago which is now deleted. I think that's all.

I believe you missed my point. Dance Moms is probably one of the very few (and I mean few) shows trashier than T&T. Either way overall, if it's not coming, I'll probably still spend more time watching Buzzr... or doing something else.

Sure enough, it's not Toddlers and Tiaras coming to GSN. It is in fact a new show called Emogenius.
I hope I like this show.

Eubanks' Card Sharks is still going. Today's episode began with Ernie @ Money Cards.
Press Your Luck is also still going.

Someone at GSN finally responded to the tweet shot at them regarding the Emogenious promo. I think they should've responded quicker. Not going to lie - customer service isn't great.
