I can--there was a petition on GSN last year that got the Password Hour back for a month. [/quote]
Did GSN say the reason they brought Password back was because of viewer demand? [/quote]
I don't think so, but the fact there was like 200 signatures on it must've helped. [the fact that it was only on a month kinda makes it look like it was thrown on to shut people up, anyway]
But do you really think they'd say that's why they did it? ;-) [/quote]
Of course not.
But I don't think they would put Password on for 1 month to shut 200 people up.

I think you're right. 200 people probably wouldn't make the least bit of difference.
However, I do remember reading in a TVGuide at one time that each letter a TV station/network receives represents the opinions of 1000 viewers.

For a major TV network, that may be true. As you get further out into the South 40 of niche cable channels and small-market television, that number gets significantly lower.

It would have been a lot better if they had extended beyond the month that it was on.
At least GSN took the time to consider my petition and tried something. Though as I had indicated, I'd have preferred prime time to the daytime slot that it got.
