Behind Door No. 2: A Revamped GSN

[quote name=\'JRaygor\' date=\'Dec 15 2003, 03:25 PM\'] 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.

Cowcookies.
I was a fan of game shows before GSN, I will continue to be a fan of game shows AFTER GSN, and to not avail myself of programming I enjoy the rare times it is offered to me hurts me way more than it will ever hurt a major media conglomerate.
Like Doug said, you have a better chance of hearing Tom Leykis advocate women's rights before it would ever happen, but if the day comes that another network pops up, GSN or otherwise, and they wanna show me Concentration, I'll be right there to watch, and I wager you will be too.

Chris, I hereby propose that whenever Bob Boden finds himself creating new game shows again, you send him a proposal for "Cowcookie Concentration." :-)

I suppose it could be done on a cable budget.
"Number 25, please, Chris."
"And behind Number 25 we have...{flop}...25 bales of hay. No match. Flop those back, and over to you, Cletus."

Like some of the others on here, I am disappointed that GSN has decided to go off in this direction. However:
The keyword here is "downplay". GSN (or whatever it's going to be called) is still going to have game shows on, in just a much, much more limited role than before.
And as Chris said, we've lived without GSN before and we'll live without it after. This is by no means any reason to proclaim that "the end of the world" is here, just because your favorite cable channel is switching its identity.
And, in conclusion, there is a very tiny part of me that is glad that this happened, because of all the "whiners". GSN was never good enough for you....Well... you don't know what you got 'til it's gone.
J.R.:
I appologize for my outburst. It was a spur of the moment occurence.
Besides, I have plenty of Concentration in my collection to keep me happy without GSN.
