It does suck....
Whine, whine, whine......
As someone else said, it was good while it lasted. For what its worth, I hope it backfires on them. I have been missing going to the movies more and more. Now it is time to go out there and get a life. ;-) Boy my wife will be surprised. :-)

I agree. Life goes on, and as much as I enjoy game shows, I must admit, I've found myself way too busy to even sit and watch them anymore. Am I disappointed about GSN? Yes, but I will get over it, and know there is more to life than game shows. And some people need to realize this. The apocolypse is not upon us just because our blessed channel is making a drastic change, even if it is for the worst.
Matt Ottinger:
The part I'm not getting is the the assumption on their part that they're going to do MORE business by trying to attract the same audience that's already being served by lots of other networks. They also seem to be doing more following than leading, and when you follow, you're always going to be at least a step or two behind. ("Televised poker is popular, let's put on....televised blackjack!")
I don't think that a traditional GSN had much more room for growth, and my bet is that they didn't either. So if the level that it reached wasn't satisfactory to them, the only thing to do would be to go off in some new direction. Problem is, every "new direction" they've tried so far has been an abysmal failure, the video games block being only the most recent example.

Like I said before, maybe Bob Boden will keep the dream alive for us someday. But for now it's dead. Kaputs. Blasted.
J.R.:
I have this odd feeling when this "New" GSN fails, they're going to cry back to us and put classics back on. I propose when they do this, we reject them anyway. They can buy us back.
Switch to Trio !

Strange world we live in. One in which a "slim chance" and a "fat chance" both mean the same thing. And both apply to the prospect of "GSN crying back to us," "GSN putting classics back on," and "GSN buying us back."
Nice try, though. :)
