Would you be willing to sacrafice...

--- Quote ---Out of curiosity; would you be willing to forfeit the entire Goodson library (MG, FF, etc.) for either A. TPiR or B. Reg Grundy?

Yes, I agree with what Matt said - I've seen enough of GT over the past nine years I'm ready for something else.
My top choices: Reg Grundy library, "Whew", - or even just more of what they already have access to.
Jay Temple:
As a network exec, I wouldn't give up one to get the other. As a viewer, I would undoubtedly watch some shows I hadn't seen in a while, which means I'd be watching GSN more than I am now. So perhaps I should change my first answer.

Indeed. Who wouldn't want to see "thelovelySummerBartholomew" (as Jim Perry introduced her) refer to him as a "swinger" once more? [/quote]
Well, if for no other reason that to get a better copy of it....
My 1986 appearance on SOTC notwithstanding, I was being "selfish" in the larger sense of my personal desire to see those shows again vs my personal satisfaction that I've gotten to see all the G-T shows I care to at this point. Again, from a business standpoint, it would make no sense at all to trade one for the other.
Jimmy Owen:
I am unwilling to give up GT. I still want to see the rest of Moore, Garagiola and Ward TTTT. I am willing to give up Fishman-Freer.
David Lawrence:
As much as I'd like to see GSN acquire Scrabble (esp. since GSN's original Scrabble attempts fell through), I wouldn't want to sacrifice the G-T shows to get it or the other Grundy shows. As for TPIR, as great an acquisition as it would be from a business standpoint, my only personal interest in having it back on GSN is for the possibility that it might also mean a return of the surviving Cullen TPIR eps. (perhaps finding an occasional place on the Overnight schedule).
Most of my favorites are G-T games and I (selfishly) wouldn't want to part with them, even if I've seen many of the episodes before. Also, I've only had GSN for the past 4 years, so I'm not (yet) burned out or left feeling that I've now seen all I wanted to see.
