From the prof: GSN schedule changes ahead

[quote name=\'zachhoran\' date=\'Nov 8 2003, 08:28 PM\'] I don't think a lot of us want to see something that recent on GSN(although those who live in cities who don't get Osmond Pyramid on their stations wouldn't mind) [/quote]
Didn't stop them from running DG/NG almost concurrently with the syndication run back in 97/98.

[quote name=\'zachhoran\' date=\'Nov 7 2003, 10:31 AM\'][quote name=\'aaron sica\' date=\'Nov 7 2003, 10:09 AM\'] Is "Lingo" the only one now that's got new episodes on the horizon, as far as their "originals" go? I honestly can't think of any others I've heard about.... [/quote]
At this point, Lingo is the only one with imminent new episodes. No word on Whammy!, Cram, or Funny Money having new episodes. [/quote]
And with "Funny Money" banished to the weekends, I would be shocked if that got renewed.
And I predicted that despite all of the sturm und drang from this board, "GSN Video Games" was pre-destined for failure. Looks like they're just burning off the contract--and once the deals with GamePro and GameSpy end, they'll probably ride out the contract with the producers by airing the two shows without wraparounds.

Or perhaps they realized that their target audience just isn't in front of the TV on a weekday afternoon/evening, and that an earlier weekend slot might be better.
In other words, we don't know what they're trying to do with this change. And I'm no fan of it either - never seen it, and I think the promotion of it ("Dude! That is sooo ill!") is embarrassing.

Well, with next week's TV Guide (my local one carries GSN in the grids), if the TVG is right, 10:30's "Match Game" will be PM.
I don't usually complain about GSN much, but if TVG is right, that *really* seems like overkill...

More than likely, we're looking at big changes on Dec 1 (Same day as Lingo S3 premiere)
