Cutting of Sony properties on GSN...

<< < (2/3) > >>

Ian Wallis:
Something occured to me:  if this is true, why was GSN able to air "Dating Game" twice in the past month when they haven't featured it on the regular schedule for quite a while now?

It seems they still are able to pull out certain shows whenever they want to.

Chelsea Thrasher:
They have a few episodes of everything.....

I ask this, re: DG:  When was the last time you saw a DG on GSN *outside* of the shows included in the Celebrity Dating GAme package?

BTW:  the "Conspiracy Theory" is mine (There's a 3rd Gunman, there's a 3rd Gunamn!!!!).  The reason I was hesistant on posting, was, as a past poster mentioned, there is a lack (though not a COMPLETE lack of) concrete evidence.

And you know, a lack of shows in possession could be why heavily-requested B-list shows like TJW and TTD aren't on the sched right now.  \

 It's been at least three years since DG aired(outside of a celeb show) on GSN. It was probably the 1997-99 Woolery version that aired, too.

Recall also that this is the only show where the Boden credit it thrown in after the production company credit.  On the others, it's before the copyright screen.  I think there may be some validity to it, but I would need more evidence, too.

I always assumed that the credit was there in case Sony ever took "RR" to syndication, wanted to air the GSN eps in syndication but didn't want any credits for GSN to be shown.

Of course, we have proof of all this, but I do find it interesting that because of the cut in production hours this year, there doesn't seem to be the monetarial support for programming from the corporate parents as when Cronin first took over--or was/is "Naturally Stoned" and "WWTBAM" really that expensive?
