More Buzzerblog schedule news: come the first full week of January, The $25,000 Pyramid goes back to where they were when the show returned in March with the Markie Post/Charles Siebert week from Sept. 1985. I couldn't access the 12/27/09-1/3/10 sched because I got a "404 Error" in its place. I wanted to see if the Martha Smith/Robert Mandan week would continue.

Now MY GSN viewing is down to the occasional Combs Feud.

GSN should come to its senses and realize what a bunch of mistakes they're making at the moment. (FAT CHANCE!)

Cordially,
Tammy

They actually start one weekday sooner than that. The Smith/Mandan week does finish the week of December 28, and a single episode of the following week airs early 1/1 (as part of the 12/31 schedule). The Post/Siebert week starts on the 1/1 schedule. At least, that's what the .pdf said when I checked not too long ago, and the new one shows a Tuesday episoe on Monday, 1/4.

The problem with Ray Combs' Family Feud, according to someone on another forum, is that it suffers from "Middle Child Syndrome" (being that some people are too old to remember, yet others are too young).

Maybe it's "Goldilocks Syndrome" because for me (and I'd assume many people born in the 80's), the time frame is just right.

I don't think that this tidbit can be underestimated. I loved watching Combs Feud when it was in first-run and I was 8 to 12 years old and have fond memories of watching it then. Now, I watch it, and the whole time I'm sub-conciously analyzing Combs for personality traits and whatnot. Makes it hard to enjoy the show.

The ads would be much more bearable if they made more than just one. I could deal with cycling through three and four different ads instead of hearing the same thing over and over.

I don't think I've watched even a second of GSN since September.
I still have access to the channel, but RTV seems to grab my eyes these days.
Plus, I have gobs of DVDs of programs from long ago to enjoy when my bride and I aren't out doing stuff.
Looks like I haven't been missing too much.

And the suckage gets worse....

According to Buzzerblog, $100K Pyramid is being relegated to overnights only, while WoF is being removed entirely.  Supposedly yet another episode of everyone's favorite--DoND will be substituted in somewhere.  I have a feeling another airing of Carniewed will show up as well.

While I obviously don't approve of another DOND and Carniewed airing, at least they will be giving both $100K Pyramid and WOF a rest to prevent anymore rerun abuse.

Here's the problem. For me, Carnie Wilson is not a sympathetic character. I don't give a damn about her trials or tribulations. I watched the first episode to see what it was. And that was enough. There's nothing there that interests me. The same goes for Hidden Agenda. I just don't care about watching a wife try to get her husband to spell out words in the fashion of YMCA. I wouldn't watch again, and I might not remember to come back for the repeat of Millionaire that I actually would watch in the first place.

Prezactly. This is where Naturally Stoned had at least one leg up. At least the lion's share of GSN viewers cared about Chuck Woolery enough to watch on occasion.

Post by: chad1m on January 16, 2010, 05:49:25 PM
Yeah, I agree with most of your guys' sentiments. Figuring I might as well give them a shot, I caught one of the six thousand repeats of Unstapled and Hidden Agenda. Aaand I wasn't impressed. Carnie's problems seem like a) they were brought on by herself in the first place, and if they weren't, then b) they were every other working mother's problems anyway, so she's no different than most family moms. Nothing in this show was intriguing to me and it didn't do anything to differentiate itself from all other celebrity docu-realities out there. I was fair. I gave it a chance. But I won't be watching again.. With Agenda, I appreciate GSN trying something relating to games outside of the traditional studio fare, but the show didn't compell me. The biggest emotion I got from the show was dislike toward the husband for being such a prick, and I don't think I want to watch a show where I don't like the participants every week. Nice try, GSN, but no thanks.

They can abuse any version of I've Got A Secret (even their own) anytime they want, as far as I'm concerned.

[/quote]I agree, this is an overused term, but you must admit it does apply to quite a few shows currently on the GSN schedule. Any series with 10%+ of their episodes rerun in a given week would be abuse to me(basically recycle every 2 months). DoND produced around 200 eps and it plays at least 20-25 times per week. 1 vs 100 made around 30 and plays 5-10 times. Same can be said for their in house productions.

Okay, an explanation of the 'sigh' and 'seconded' comments would be appreciated. Obviously it's not a thumbs up to my last post. All I did was point out GSN was overusing some(many) of their product, and it warrants these replies? Maybe if I had 4 or 5 digit post totals I wouldn't get this type of response? From now on I'll keep my thoughts to myself and you guys won't have to waste your time thinking up such "witty" replies. This is an awesome way to build up hits on the site.

The risk in abject, public mockery is that if viewers become aware the show exists they're then more likely to tune in as America loves a good trainwreck.  The best thing that could happen to this show IMO is for it to die quickly and anonymously.

On the superfluous third hand, if it brings GSN more viewers, it could encourage GSN to program more such garbage.

You'd think they would have learned the lesson when American Dream Derby failed.  And did they ever actually air the proposed cat show?

And Matt, sorry for spacing and reusing the repeat synonym and abuse wording in the same sentence. Comment should have read..."GSN is definitely overusing some of their product at an alarming rate".

Better?[/quote]Well, no, it isn't. The words are different but the content is the same. GSN could run a loop of $25,000 Pyramid and pick up in 1982 at the end, and I wouldn't call it abuse. But I'd say that a single episode of Three's a Crowd is abuse.

I remember back to game show guy, who believed that GSN was a vacuum, and was there just so that he and his friends could fill in the gaps of their precious tape collections. Nevermind that a show might pull hashes on a good day, if it helped his Chinpokomon-like obsession, it was good. And if something that was on its third or fourth cycle and popular with viewers, but  was taking up time that might be used to have something that would complete a set, well, that was "rerun abuse!"

Abuse in this case is in the eye of the beholder, and you won't ever have a case where everyone agrees that column X are abused, and column Y aren't.

I'll tell you what network is guilty of rerun abuse.  Ever check out mini-marathons of Law & Order: Criminal Intent on Bravo?  They play three or four episodes (hopefully with Goren and Eames), then play the same f'in episodes again back-to-back.  That, in my mind is rerun abuse.  I've seen some of the same episodes of Law & Order at least six times (probably more), but they're several months apart.  (I almost have the dialogue of "Who Let the Dogs Out?" memorized.)

I'd say truTV (formerly CourtTV) is even worse with their Cops reruns. I've seen the Virginia Beach cluster of episodes quite a few times*, not to mention a few other cities (Pierce County, WA shows up quite a bit as well, and don't even get me started on the Coast to Coast series!).

I thought, at some point, that CourtTV/TruTV had access to a specific set of Cops reruns, FX had the rights to certain eps., and there was a third set of eps. relegated to syndication.  G4 appears to be doing likewise, airing episodes primarily from the late 90s through about 2003.

Does TruTV still show Cops reruns?  It seems most times I watch, it's Most Daring, Smoking Gun stuff, and Operation Repo...all of which are welcome viewing in the Klauss house.

/OBGameShow:  At least 4 of the repo men from Operation Repo were on 1 vs. 100, with Matt Birch lasting in the mob for at least 3 shows.

That makes sense. Tru's episodes are from c. 1995-2005 or so. The syndicated reruns (at least in the Norfolk market) arew usually from from the first half of the '90s.

Looking through the program grid on my DVR, it looks like the vast majority of basic cable networks still repeat at least some prime-time programming later in the evening, and about half, including all of the Scripps networks (e.g., Food Network) and all of the Discovery networks, repeat the entirety of their prime time lineup.

Wasn't one of the reasons cited back when GSN did the back-to-back blocks in both daytime and primetime that, if you air the same program with the same ads twice within the span of a day, they both count as a single program for ratings purposes?

I think USA Network's rerun schedule for "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" is the worst offender in the 'repeated to death' category.  I literally stumble every other week on the three or four "SVU" episodes where Olivia has to deal with that long-lost brother of hers that only appeared in the last two or three seasons.  Either that or 'the very special episode' where Stabler loses his cool trying to deal with a scumbag perp that keeps him away from his family.  TNT a couple of years ago was also pretty bad in repeating only "Law & Order" (mothership) episodes in primetime from around 2004 to the (then) present, which meant seeing freaking Branch and Fontana more often than Briscoe (which is just wrong).  I saw the same four episodes where Michael Imperiolli guest-stars as detective Falco (plus a fifth one where Falco is dragged into a case) so often I almost thought he was as regular a cast member as Orbach or Waterston.  Thankfully TNT has learned from its mistake and now runs "L&O" late in the afternoon and on weekends, expanding to include episodes from as far back as 1995 (the Ben Stone era is sadly confined to weekend overnight repeats which is a shame; Michael Moriarty rules!).

-Wednesday 2pm Catch 21 Season 2 airing restored
-Sunday 11am-Noon Newlywed Game Season 1 and Catch 21 Season 2 airing restored
-All airings of HS overnight have been restored (M-F)

Also, Unstapled is running Sunday afternoons with back-to-backs of all episodes that have been released so far, concluding each week at 5pm EST, it appears.  This week, the marathon begins at 3pm.  I assume next week the marathon will start at 2:30pm, etc.
