Yeah, that took a long time. At least they confirmed it.

So when did GSN add Hollywood Game Night repeats? I do enjoy the show... Just last week. They had a "premiere week" last week.

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. I couldn't find a way to voice my concerns to GSN, other than through social media. Is there no other way? Good luck with that lol. They ignore both Twitter and FB posts. Point blank.

Eubanks CS goes back to episode 350 effective 5/16. It looks like, by that point, 163 episodes will have aired. That seems like an awkward number, but then again, this could imply that GSN may have the rights to air the first seven of the nine Christmas 1987 episodes to round off the episode order to 170 episodes, which we may end up seeing next December. Plus, there is the June 12, 1987 episode (#371) that was pre-empted in favor of Halloween-themed Family Feud '94, so we may have a chance to finally get to see it in late-June or early-July. Or, that episode may be skipped altogether for some reason and we may end up getting eight of the Christmas-themed episodes. I can safely declare that Press Your Luck also has the same number of episodes, maybe slightly more. I have strong doubts for Jim Hess this time.

Yep, they've officially gone back in Eubanks CS. Sorry for being skeptical; I wanted to make sure by seeing for myself when the day came.
Meanwhile, Press Your Luck is still going, airing the Jim Hess episode.

According to the GSN online schedule, Whammy! is off the schedule as of Monday. Replacing it, The $25,000 Pyramid which will now air for a full hour.
And GSN's Pyramid gets replaced with another episode of Catch-21.
EDIT: And here's the kick to the groin (I just noticed), Press Your Luck is gone, replacing it, More Eubanks Card Sharks (would it kill them to air a Jim Perry episode?)

S***. I didn't read the rest of your edit, CW. PYL gone for the second time in 8 years.

CardSharksFan8689 , don't tag me on Facebook. I already found out here. And don't be negative about saying the final three months will never be rerun ever again. You don't know that for a fact.

The main reason I watch GSN in the morning (PYL) is now going away. This sucks.

Yeah at first I didn't notice. I found it interesting that they were doing everything in hour blocks, but didn't check the 9:00am slot. Oh well. Who knows the show could turn back up on the schedule soon.
I've got somewhat mixed feelings. To be honest, I haven't made too much of an effort to watch the show in the mornings (it airs 6:30am where I live) but it was nice to have it around if I ever wanted to watch it. At least Buzzr still airs the show.

I get the feeling that some or all of these replacements might be placeholders. Wouldn't be the first time.

For Press Your Luck to be taken off the schedule, I think it implies that GSN wanted to go through one cycle of the current lease of previously aired episodes to see how the ratings go. It was most likely proven to be unsuccessful, especially since most of the episodes were already on YT before the acquisition.
GSN likely chose to replace it with an extra airing of Eubanks' Card Sharks because it was highly successful, and before the first cycle, the episodes previously aired on GSN in 2002 and early 2003. Press Your Luck's current lease has episodes prebiously aired in 2007-2009, which i believe wasn't long enough to become "must-see TV" like Eubanks' Card Sharks was.
Plus, adding an extra airing of a series currently leased is done in the same fashion like Super Password was in 2013 (the final three months of Cullen's Blockbusters replaced that extra Super Password airing in December 2013).
I agree with Speed andStrategy's placeholder idea. In fact, it was two years ago around this time period (late June, in fact) that GSN put Eubanks' Card Sharks in an additional slot, only to be replaced with a fresh lease of Jim Perry's version two weeks later. This could be a sign of a fresh lease of a classic show that may be looming in the week's to come.

GSN and the viewers don't give two flying f**** over what's on YouTube, and what's not. But then again, you claim the final three months will never be rerun due to runtime issues, when I provided you an example of an episode, in which the runtime was the same as virtually most of the other episodes. So much for your claim.
