GSN's reason for giving up Marshall HS

<< < (4/11) > >>

ChrisLambert!:
I think the 1980-81 syndicated season from Vegas might have had a better chance to catch on with younger viewers, but perhaps not that much better of a chance.

My question now is how do we convince Nostalgia Television to make a run at the rights?

-C!

That's what I've been thinking for a while.  So basically there's nobody out there to cater to us \"hardcore\" fans.  

I wonder if there ever will be again...

Jimmy Owen:
Every cable net changes eventually.  I thought HA! was perfect-but Jack Benny and Ernie Kovacs have given way to South Park and the Man Show. TNN is Spike, Fandango is no more, Most Extreme Elimintaton is in. FX-the former home of Breakfast Time and Backchat is now showing Major League Baseball!  I am thankful for what GSN has showed in the past and there are still a lot of things for us-Black & White Overnight, Blockbusters, Family Feud and Match Game are still there.  As with everything, GSN is evolving and changing, but through the magic of videotape I can still enjoy the way it was.

 I think you've hit it on the head. Assuming that GSN as we knew it is on the way out (and I don't share that Chicken Little attitude, but I recognize the right to an opinion), then people will simply go back to trading tapes to get their fix, just like we did before GSN. And those of us who don't wish to go to the bother of tape trading will simply learn to live without. I made it almost 28 years without GSN, I'm sure I can do it again if I have to.

HSquares2003:
Well, I have noticed on several webpages(without naming sites or names) that several people are too snobby to open up to trading with those of us who didn't have GSN until 2000 or so. Point being, if we don't have much to offer from our collections, then what makes you think these people are gonna trade with us?

Food 4 thought....
