Ok....just saw the promo again. There was a clip of a contestant with glasses, i think his name was Richard, with a tan background. I can't seem to figure out what show it is.....=)

Like GSN giving viewers what they want. [/quote]
If networks gave viewers what they want nowadays, we've have 200 channels' worth of test patterns. Today's GSN is what advertisers think viewers want.

[quote name=\'uncamark\' date=\'Nov 13 2003, 12:55 PM\'] I sometimes seeing one of us being in Rich Cronin or Bob Boden's position and doing a sales pitch to ad agency media buyers--and using as our big draw to get them to throw some money GSN's way "and we're going to start airing 'Bullseye' and 'Play the Percentages' every night in prime time! Those were cool shows! And then we're going to air 'Chain Reaction' and 'Press the Buck!'" The derisive laughter among the media buyers would be deafening. [/quote]
Add "Way Out Games" to that pitch, and the laughter would be so loud I'd be able to hear it in Pennsylvania.
Jimmy Owen:
I don't think media buyers know the difference between "Bullseye," "Aliens Ate My Game Show," "Chain Reaction" and "Billboard Living." They only want the shows that will get their advertisers noticed. A good pitch by GSN can make any show attractive.

OK, I'll admit that I left my Sarcasm Detector at home today, but this is the second time in this thread where I'm going, "Huh?"
That statement appears to say you think viewers do, in fact, want 200 channels of test patterns, and advertisers have come to the rescue to give us something other than that. I know that's not what you meant, but I can't find the irony, satire, sarcasm, humor or whatever it was you thought you were putting into that statement.
