5. New 1 Vs 100 episodes will appear with Carrie Ann Inaba I think that's more of your own personal fantasy rather than a prediction. Not happening. I'm personally thinking that if there's going to be any change, that it's going to be something simple. It might even be borderline stupid. |

I think the weekend schedule is going to get a turnover and some of those rotting old originals will be given a heave. I think one episode of Whammy! and Love Triangle are targets. Wouldn't be surprised if a classic or two pops up on weekends to join PW+.
Other guesses:
$25/$100K Pyramids and Press Your Luck get different rounds of episodes, whether they are new-to-GSN or not.
An older version of Family Feud will join the schedule - the only modern focus these days seems to be on Harvey.

Well this is a bit of a bummer. On Friday, when I watched Blockbusters, I noticed they started becoming reruns. I'm like "Wow, is this what it's like with shows like Press Your Luck?" What did GSN lease, 50? 65 episodes? I'm not being ungrateful by any means. I'm just hoping, maybe in April, or sometime that they'll add new episodes. The show gets pretty decent ratings. It proves that classics are still favored on GSN, mostly in the mornings, but still. I can't decide whether to still record the show still though. I love Bill, but I may remember some of the questions and contestants. Especially contestants. Thinking about recording Press Your Luck along with my Match Game's. I shouldn't bug you guys about my TV hankerings.  |

Yeah, I agree that there has to be one version of Family Feud to suit each of the older and younger generations. If I were to guess which version of classic Family Feud will appear, probably the version hosted by Richard Dawson. The generation that watched Ray Combs' version will come eventually - it's just not there yet.
I'd say, right now, the extra helping of Whammy! and Love Triangle (the latter of which was low-rated in the initial run) are likely just placeholders for the time being. I just bet that the number of pre-2000 shows on the weekends will be upped to two. If Password Plus exits, I'd say Card Sharks with Jim Perry and Dawson's Family Feud will likely appear on weekends only. Or, the same limited run of Blockbusters may end up moving to weekends only, and something may end up replacing said show on weekdays (whether it be Dawson's Family Feud or any version of Card Sharks).
For what it's worth, I think Eubanks' Card Sharks is long overdue for a return. 2013 was the first full year with no Eubanks' Card Sharks since 2000, if I recall, and I think it's probably taken enough of a break, and deserves some more exposure. I could even handle a 50-65 episode lease of remaining 1986 episodes - there were some memorable moments, including the car game debut, the first car win, the first Young People's Week where a trip to Hawaii is offered, a contestant named Payday, and the contestant named Bob Eubanks (I would be quite interested to see the host's reaction to this contestant's name).
Ray Combs' Family Feud may seem like it's much longer overdue (hasn't aired regularly in four years), but it can wait until there is more demand for late-80s/early-90s shows. I think if Combs' Feud was to return, it should air episodes from the CBS run, and eventually Family Feud Challenge.
Speaking of Family Feud, I noticed that the 2006-07 season of O'Hurley's version hasn't aired in quite some time. Whatever happened to it? It seems like O'Hurley's version on GSN is mostly from 2008 and beyond.

I just don't see Dawson or Combs returning anytime soon.
As for the Pyramids, I think that'll happen in 2015

Shit. Predictions.
-Blockbusters stays, gets fresh eps possibly. I hope it stays, anyways.
-Match Game no changes.
The End.

how about The Dating game gets good ratings, forces gsn to air it regularly. I was actually thinking about that, but I don't think it would do that good. Maybe it would. The Newlywed Game (Eubanks) and Love Connection did horrible if I recall, but those shows probably couldn't beat the Dating Game. Plus the last time Bob's Newlywed Game aired, it was at 9am, same as LC if I recall on at 9:30am. Who knows. I'd hate to say it, but some may tune in to the marathon just because he died. Probably not, but where could GSN fit this on the regular schedule? Noon? Meh. That's GSN's decision, but I doubt it will get the best ratings for a morning marathon. We'll see. |

Well, I highly doubt The Dating Game will fly on GSN's schedule in this day and age. It probably did better in the 1990s, but likely won't now. The marathon is just to pay tribute to its host who left us last week. I don't think the ratings will do that well this Wednesday morning, especially since some of the episodes are from the 60s - almost 50 years ago - and the generation that grew up with shows before the era of Match Game are getting up there in age, and some of that generation is already dead now. The ratings for a weekday morning are better off with the current schedule at this moment. I bet the ratings will rebound on Thursday.
As for this week, I had intended to record Tuesday's and Thursday's airings of $ale of the Century and two episodes of The Dating Game this coming Wednesday (the ones with Michael Jackson and Casey Kasem), but with the uncertainty of the possibility of rolling blackouts since the cold wave has returned and will be prevalent where I live for the next three days, I feel as if I have no choice other than to suspend recording game shows until at least Friday. For the $ale of the Century episodes that I had intended to record on Tuesday and Thursday, I will wait until the third cycle (likely in June) to record them. I certainly hope someone can upload the Michael Jackson and Casey Kasem appearances of The Dating Game to the Internet after they have aired.

GSN leased the final 65 episodes of Cullen's run, much like how they have the final 65 of PW+.

The last run ended on Wednesday. I only noticed that when I saw Ed again, I think was his name, a very good player. |

I'll record that episode of The Dating Game and post it to YouTube for you. My YouTube name is pyramidfan90 by the way. |
