Title: Caroline and Friends joins GSN on July 16
Post by: BillCullen1 on June 27, 2018, 01:40:47 PM

The latest GSN show to join the schedule. Caroline Rhea and friends look at funny videos, mostly of children and animals. Sounds a lot like America's Funniest Home Videos? There's a reason for that. Vin Di Bona is the exec producer of this. Airs at 4 pm ET. So there you go.

Sounds more like a revival of Animal Crack-Ups to me...which if I'm not mistaken was DiBona's as well.

It was.

From the vague description, it sounds like a couple other shows that discuss current viral videos. Daily Blast Live and RightThisMinute come to mind.

The premiere is already up for viewing on the "GSN Now" app.  It's pretty forgettable, reminiscent of a daytime talk show atmosphere with the conversational linchpin being "viral videos."  Having watched it just a few days ago, I don't recall what the prize for the "winning" video is.  It seems suitable for an afternoon slot, though.   Curiously, the only reruns it will get are during the 11am hour on Saturday mornings; pretty limited.
