Shows that Game Show Network should get.

Cross Wits
The Liar's Club
High Rollers
Concentration
Then again what do I know? I thought "Hollywood Squares" would hold onto its initial high ratings (remember it *was* successful at first), and that "To Tell the Truth" was a great idea for a game show to revive. 0 for 2 on that one.
I am surprised GSN has never revived any of the classic GT panel shows as a new show for their own network. "What's My Line?" would be great now, with more video available of some of these people at their jobs. But once again, what do I know? [/quote]
Assuming you mean the original runs, all of these shows are rumored to be destroyed. Sparks' Cross-Wits is still intact, and has been rerun on Family Channel, and America One Television. Liar's Club--perhaps it did get rerun on USA for a while, "The New Liar's Club" should still exist. Both original HR runs seem to be non existant; Wink's is still somewhere. Original Concentration is likely gone; Narz and Trebek should still exist.

Strange that USA never ran any Allen Ludden-hosted "Liars Club". Too bad none of those are in the trade curcuit.
I wonder if the reason GSN has never attempted to remake a GT panel show is because they don't own the rights to them - they only lease them. They did try to remake Barris' "Three's a Crowd", but they own the Barris formats.
Starkman:
ok based on what I would LIKE to see note that LIKE is in all caps because i KNOW gsn wont, cant and shouldnt air these shows because they would not garner enough ratings and or do not exist.
Talk About (Very underrated)
(hersey) Davidson Squares (/Hersey)
Edwards Chain Reaction (Ok ill suffer through some blake emmons too just to bolster the count of eps) I didnt like the 3 on 3 cullen version personally.
Fun House
UK Link
Kennedy NTT
Whew!
My Generation
Groucho YBYL
$ale of the century (perry)
Scrabble
and
Concentration (trebek)
As i said id LIKE them to be seen again but I would not expect and in some cases even want GSN to spend the money on them. So there is my attempt of keeping both the fantasy schedulers and the realists happy ;)

USA didn't show any Jack Barry TJW either. I thought the reason might be because both Allen and Jack were deceased before the USA airings, however they did show Bobby Van's MML.

USA continued to show Convy's WLoD after his death(though they first aired Syndie WLOD while he was still alive)
