Stop Me If You've Heard This One...

Well, as once again certain people are using GSN's current ratings woes to play amateur ratings analyst (and Marc Berman won't be threatened at all), this item from C21 Media, a web site devoted to European \"light entertainment\" formats production and promotion, indicates that Challenge, GSN's equivalent in the UK, is also experimenting with not-necessarily-game-show (and not \"classic\" game show) programming.

I will say that the good folks at the UK Game Shows Yahoo! Group seemed to take this more in stride than some of us here deal with *anything* GSN does.  Whether it's British understatement or simply a higher level of maturity or sophistication is for you to decide.

ITSBRY:
Does Challenge have a website?  I did a search and couldn't find anything.

In my opinion, where\"Celebrity Poker Club\" is concerned, what one channel calls a game, another channel calls a sport -- ESPN has been showing \"The World Series Of Poker\" on a frequent basis these days. And I think The Travel Channel, a self-explanetory name, has also been showing a similar poker tournament series (forget the title).

As for \"Casino Casino\" -- it is, more or less, \"Dealer's Choice\", but in Monte Carlo.


And as for whether or not \"Sushi TV\" fits Challenge's bill depends on if it'll feature Japanese game show clips -- and game shows from Japan tend to lean toward the bizarre.

Challenge has allways had (to the best of my past memory) some non game shows on... (Pointing out TV's Funny Bloopers and Pratical Jokes with Dick Clark, US Battledome, and Gladiators (the last 2 can be debatable, though).
