I for one most definitely would give up the G-T library for Grundy's.
Like several of the previous respondants however, it would be only because I've had GSN for a long enough time to where I've had my fill of G-T product. These days the only G-T show I be sure to tune into / record everytime it airs is Blockbusters, and that's only twice a week. Even if that were pulled, I'd live.

They may be classics, but I'm tired of Match Game, Family Feud, & pretty much all of the black & white shows. (yea yea, "blasphemy!" Wot-evah.)

 I'd be willing to go without PYL and WLoD for the Grundy shows, as $otC and Scrabble both enjoyed a run twice as long as PYL and WLOD. They're better known titles than WLOD to begin with. The Goodson shows need to stay, it ain't much of a network which specializes to a large degree in classic game shows without the GT stuff.

As for GT, there's a year or more of P+, Super Password, TTTT70s, WML Syndies, and Tattletales that have yet to air in GSN's nine year history.

Id give up the G-T library for grundy IF they crank out originals that I like and use their library of existing non G-T shows to a good extent and picked up one or two non G-T true classics (Kennedy NTT) and didnt scrimp on shows they have the rights to (aka more than one season of 100k Pyramid)

However I would not give up G-T for grundy if it meant filling the schedule with just more shows that either are A. Shows that are clear filler (endless DG, NG like during the dark period) B. Countless reruns of the same originals. C. Aquiring shows that are short lived but modern :cough: NBC Link :cough and spinning them over and over again. or D. Useless filler shows (masters of the maze, baby races etc of wich id probs perfer infomircals ;) )Id pass.

To me its an issue of what would be left not what youd give up. They'd have enough classics left without G-T (B+E plus gaining the grundys) when added up with shelling out for more Whammy!, RR, and Lingo would make the trade work, but without proper managment, it would just be another dark period.

Without a second thought.

I love MG.  I'd miss it if it were gone.  But I have collected enough eps to keep me happy.

If GSN ran Pyramid, the originals, and Grundy, that would be just fine with me.

Question: What else does the Grundy library include besides SotC and Scrabble? (Dream House and Scattergories come to mind, but I may be wrong.)

(Useless trivia: Grundy actually hosted a game show in his native Australia -- Reg Grundy's Wheel of Fortune -- in 1959.  It was nothing like the current version.  Grundy currently lives in Bermuda.)
