Not everybody gets Good Friday off.

Good Friday here is one of those days where the public transportation runs on a regular schedule. So not everyone had the luxury of staying home. When I was younger, my grandfather still had to work.

How were the ratings for The Chase's Season 4 Finale?  I am curious to know because I know the reruns of previous The Chase seasons are always a hit with GSN watchers,

Hmm... Thoughts?

I'd want to see the 8-10 AM and 12 PM ratings for better perspective, but we've definitely seen better numbers for that hour when the classics were on.   It would also be interesting to see the 10A-12P shows' numbers in the 25-54 demo, and compare them with those of the 8-10 AM shows, in order to determine if these shows are really young-skewing enough to make the overall ratings decrease worthwhile.

I've been specifically focusing on the 10a-12p hours because as we know the 10am slot has performed better. Classics aren't a good lead in, as I often suggest.

Buzzerblog RT'ed the ratings guy (Son of the Bronx) on Twitter, and this was pretty telling afterward:

That figures... Went from an "normal" show to worse and worse at 8am.

Since Buzzr launched last Monday, I'd like to know what the average ratings for GSN's airings of Match Game, Bob Eubanks' Card Sharks and Press Your Luck during June 1 to 5 were?

Here's an idea. The channel is just getting started, not everyone is going to get it at this time, it has to evolve. GSN isn't going to lose any viewers over this channel, they aren't going to lose sleep over a little "competition" and it is little right now.

You probably won't find The Chase, Idiotest, or other GSN originals, including older GSN originals that GSN still airs. Not anytime soon anyways.

I want to like your post just for this line alone. Thank you for staying sane.

I posted GSN's averages and rankings for the June 1-7 week, and they were excellent by the network's historical standards and better than the monthly averages for May. So much for any impact from Buzzr.

Showbuzz also posted all of GSN's numbers for prime time last night (June 10) - it was an all-original night of Idiotest and Skin Wars - and they were again very good by the network's standards. 435K total viewers and a 0.10 18-49 rating. The last number in particular is great for the old-skewing GSN.

My comments relate completely to the subjects of the threads where I post. This thread is called "GSN Ratings Discussion." So in my comments, I've posted plenty of links to...GSN ratings. And I've discussed those ratings in detail. That's more than some other posts in this thread do. Your latest post, for instance, lectures me without saying a thing about ratings for GSN.

Casey, I'm not talking about your ratings posts. Don't get so defensive. As far as I'm concerned, we're done talking about this. I'm not going to argue with you and your "political correctness". That is one post where I'm trying to make a point when I "lectured" you.

Again, All GSN vs. Buzzr talk will go in its respected thread. Keep this thread for ratings and vice versa.

If you see posts that aren't here and think they're deleted, don't worry. I just moved a couple more.

Sure, this is called GSN Ratings Discussion, but I'll rename the thread since you seem to love to twist peoples words around. You post the ratings, then you can comment on them. Not go on about GSN and Buzzr and how Buzzr will impact GSN ratings blah blah blah.

End of discussion. If you think I'm abusing my powers, you're wrong. I'm just doing what's right for the forum so everything is in the right place. I've tried being patient.

I'm going to stop the feud right there. Please - take it to PMs if you have to do this.

Should keep it in private to be perfectly honest.

I'm going to delete some posts because we're getting more and more off-topic, but I will say I "like" these, and I liked another post but I won't quote that here.

If I may, I'll end it with this last remark. Casey, why do you always feel you have to run to your blog and piss off more people? It would be more mature if you could communicate with people via PM instead of running to your little blog. I'm only saying, but hey it's your blog. Post what you want, I'm just saying that it would be more mature to communicate via PM for a change. I guess you need something to post every day and you think people are interested in this.

I'll end it right there. I said my peace. We've went off topic a number of times.

Back to business as usual.

I'd like to ask, what are the ratings figures for Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. as of most recently? I'd be interested to find out how Jim Perry's Card Sharks did on GSN. I'm guessing it's doing well otherwise it would be gone by now.
