Is there anything left that GSN could feasbily make a profit on? Aside from TPIR and maybe the (future) PAX castoffs (SS and STYD), I can't think of much left that doesn't fall under the "too obscure to spend money on" blanket.

Whew!

How long have they been showing Win, Lose or Draw? I don't think it ran much longer than Whew!. [/quote]
WLoD ran three seasons in syndication (Convy for two years, Weller for one year). The NBC version with Vicki Lawrence ran about two years (but GSN wasn't showing that version anyway). WHEW! ran considerably shorter.
Speaking of Vicki Lawrence, I just got tix to her two-woman/one-woman show. Anyone here seen it and care to give me an idea as to what to expect?

I don't have the actual dates for "Whew!", but it seems to me that "WLOD" ran two years longer than "Whew!" It's also a decade sooner and has more than a few celebs that are still active today.

WLOD ran three years in syndication(Sep 1987-Sep 1990), and two years concurrently with that on NBC daytime(Sep 1987-Sep 1989). GSN has 200 episodes of the syndie run(all of season one and the first few weeks of season two). They could acquire the rest of the syndie run, which would include the 1989-90 season with Robb Weller, or even pull a surprise and bring us Vicki Lawrence's daytime NBC version, but I don't think it will happen anytime soon. GSN has run WLOD for 18 months at this point, and the shows they acquired are midway through their third cycle(7PM airing EST), the new 1PM EST airing started at the beginning of the run yesterday.
Gromit:
Put me down as someone who stopped watching HS after the repeats kept coming up. If I know the outcome or the jokes, I don't watch.
Did the ratings start out low and stay that way, or did they slowly decline over time?
As for shows they should get, I've always wanted to see the old "scandal" shows. Let me watch 21 knowing that the contestant may have been tipped off. I think it would be very interesting to watch in hindsight.
