I don't watch GSN much anymore.
This should be the motto of the game show Interwebs. I have to smile whenever I see it, which is pretty often. A lot more people in the real world are watching GSN now than back in the supposedly good old days. In 2007 the network averaged 256K viewers for prime time. Nowadays GSN averages more viewers in total day, even in a bad week. Well, I always knew that the game show Interwebs don't have much to do with game show viewers (or anything else) in the real world. If the Interwebs ruled, Steve Harvey would have been out of the business a long time ago. And we'd all be watching the wall-to-wall reruns of old Match Game and Family Feud on Buzzr. Speaking of which, I dropped by Game Show Forum for the first time in a while today. There was actually a thread about a modern-day show, ABC's remake of Match Game. Before I even read the comments, I thought there would be a slam on Harvey Feud and a bash on ABC's Match Game compared to the good old days of Gene and friends. I was right and right. Though I admit these were very easy predictions.

Hollywood Game Night is amazing and I'm glad it's getting some kind of attention elsewhere. Still wondering when the new season will be announced. It's got to be a matter of time considering the fact that Jane plugged it on her Price is Right appearance a while back.

Found out on ScreenerTV that Card Sharks on GSN appears to be on track to finish up 1987, as December 16, 1987 is scheduled for Thursday, April 20. No information posted for the April 21 airing, but at that point, it would normally be nearing the point where the lease reverts back to the beginning (in this case, May 14, 1987).
According to my math, using Excel, December 16, 1987 would be the 145th episode in the current lease. So it is confirmed we have more episodes in this lease than the previous lease. But if no original airdate is listed for April 21, it may be possible that GSN might be reverting back to May 14, 1987 on that date, which means it's a 145-episode lease this time. Of course, I could be proven wrong - we'll just have to wait until April 21 comes, or the data being posted on ScreenerTV.

I completely glossed over the fact that Hollywood Game Night is coming to GSN. This is one modern show I'm not a big fan of. I watched two episodes of it in the past and I didn't like what I saw. What is GSN trying to accomplish with this acquisition?
Minute To Win It Ohno version is an interesting choice to have return to the schedule. It's not bad, but I'm surprised it came back and I'm kind of upset it kicked Deal Or No Deal out of the 5pm slot. At least The Chase is still there and at least Engvall Lingo didn't pop up on the schedule.

MTWI needed to replace THE CHASE on the schedule.
This way, i can get back J! on my TV (mother switched allegiance to CHASE because J! was pre-empted locally for something on a day I was not home).

I'm pretty sure I just saw a commercial hinting that...
wait for it...
Toddlers and Tiaras is coming to GSN this summer. That's right, that show is coming to GSN. This is a joke, right? Why would they put that show on the network? It doesn't belong.

Toddlers and Tiaras is coming to GSN this summer. Are we sure GSN is still a network for game shows? On what planet is this a game show?

I just saw the commercial again. Sure enough, it looks like this is happening.
I am done with the people who run this network. I gave them a chance, but I'm convinced a change in management is needed ASAP. There is NO WAY you can justify having a show like Toddlers and Tiaras on the GAME SHOW Network. Who in the hell thought this was a good idea? Who?! I am absolutely dumbfounded by this decision. Whoever made this decision or came up with this idea needs to be fired, let go, given the pink slip. This is an outrage. I thought putting Dancing With The Stars on the network was bad, but that doesn't even compare to this. What the hell are these people thinking?!
There are hundreds of game shows that GSN could've put on the schedule. Let me name some game shows GSN could've included that currently aren't on the network: The Price Is Right, Let's Make A Deal, Jeopardy, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Greed, Friend Or Foe, Russian Roulette, Password, Password Plus, Super Password, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?, Lingo, 1 Vs 100, Duel, Million Dollar Money Drop, Street Smarts, Blockbusters, Concentration, The Weakest Link, American Gladiators, Twenty-One, 500 Questions, Name That Tune, To Tell The Truth, Win Lose Or Draw, Wintuition, Cram, Power Of 10, Hollywood Squares, The Joker's Wild, $ale Of The Century, Shop Til You Drop, and......Supermarket Sweep. (I had to include that last one, you know I was going to do it.)
That's not a hundred game shows I listed, but you get my point? My point is that all of those shows I listed would've been better choices to put on the schedule, but instead they acquire Toddlers and Tiaras?! That's not even a game show! It has me wishing they would give more slots to Harvey Feud! That's how bad this is. There's no way anyone can look at this and say "Yeah, this is good". There's no way you can say that. This is terrible and GSN should feel terrible. This is their worst acquisition ever.
/rant
Sorry for this post being a little spicy, but I had to say it. This isn't even a good show and it's kind of controversial to be honest. It doesn't belong on GSN.

If GSN is so Gung Ho on getting reality crap, at least get something DECENT! I would take hours of Gordon Ramsay shouting in Hell's Kitchen before this Toddler and Tiara crap. Yowza! Hopefully it bombs faster than DWTS

First of all, I agree with you hd1976 in regard to your comments about GSN and the shows you mentioned. No argument from me.
Secondly, please try to keep this on topic. No calling out other users. I made that mistake last week. Please try to avoid that. I'm just trying to help out.

Toddlers and Tiaras is coming to GSN this summer. Did the promo specify a date for when it would debut?

There is NO WAY you can justify having a show like Toddlers and Tiaras on ANY network. Fixed.
