Is 117,000 really a bomb for GSN, especially considering they drew 80k for an unsold pilot? I would call that a success, look what it was up against.

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

I guess for some perspective, what does GSN usually pull in this time slot?

Like Mark, I'd be somewhat curious what GSN usually draws on a Sunday night.  But just seeing how much lower those numbers are compared to every single one of the others on that chart suggests that this might have been a bust.

(I am amused that Showtime drew ten times as many people an hour later for an interstitial break.)
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

It just concerns me that these were on the schedule with no on-air context. We know what significance they hold, but regular viewers go from a Let's Ask America rerun to a random 1979 game show with no reason why. A quick bumper before each show saying "hey, these haven't been seen in 35 years/ever before" might have helped explain why viewers may want to stick around.

Looks like updated PDFs for this week and next week are at Casey's blog. Only change I've noticed so far is that Let's Ask America is off Sunday nights. (It and the 8PM hour of Baggage are replaced with Harvey Feud.)

There are a lot more, in short: http://gameshownetworknews.blogspot.com/2014/10/new-gsn-schedules-for-october-12-and-13.html
Or you could have just told us.

There is a lot, especially October 18th & 19th. But here:

 *copy and paste*

I don't know if that was an invitation to do so.

No, but I know. Cut and paste notwithstanding, I did want to know, and now I know that I don't need to bother if they're airing Harvey Feud, Baggage and Love Triangle.

So Let's Ask America is only in overnights on weekdays now. Makes it appear GSN wasn't happy with how it was doing in the more visible timeslots.

The day that viewer malaise finally sets in for Steve Harvey's Outraged at Penis Jokes is going to be a *great* day.
