When USA Network launched their very first game show in the 80's Love Me Love Me Not that was hosted by Bob Goen and then had success with the Wink Martindale created Bumper Stumpers later on in 1987 I always wondered if USA will go back to creating and adding their own game shows in their very own game show block. Because after they had success with The Big Date in 1996 and then had the game show Happy Hour but since then it seems that USA Network has somehow lost interest in game shows and is now focusing on stuff like drama shows and reality shows and reruns of CSI and Monk. I think a game show block would work wonders for USA and it would be great to see because if I remember correctly USA used to have a fun game show block of game show favorites from Sale Of The Century to Press Your Luck in the 80's called USA's Lucky Day and so a new game show block of USA created game shows would be a wonderful addition to USA's schedule indeed,

I think the network has changed way too much now for that honestly. USA doesn't have that early-mid '90's feel anymore where so many different genres thrived on one channel like they did back in the day.

TBH, game shows would not work on USA nowadays. WWE is too much of a moneymaker for them and the network has changed too much from back then. So my answer is no.

Kelsey, Bob Goen did not host Love Me Love Me Not but Ross Shafer(who hosted ABC's short-lived version of Match Game)did.

Thanks for correcting me on the host of Love Me Love Me Not. When I was reading about USA's game shows in my game shows in my game show books I read about Ross Shafer and I must've mistaken him for Bob Goen because his photo was next to Ross's photo in the book. Silly me,

Not with NCIS/WWE carrying the day for them.
I'm still wishing ME-TV would at least carry Peter Tomarken's Wipeout or a block of Davidson-era
HS/Pyramid. But I know I'm pipe-dreaming on that one.
