Behind Door No. 2: A Revamped GSN
Justin30519:
This is terrible. This is the worst possible news. Do you realize what this means? We will no longer have a network of game shows. Our game shows will be limited to first runs like Wheel and Jeopardy. Sure, we might be lucky to get two or three games to stick around on GSN. Pyramid shows, Whammy, PYL, Let's Make A Deal, Lingo, Blockbusters, Card Sharks, What's My Line, all gone. And for what? So they can show casino games? So they can show interactive programming? They're going to ruin the network. They tried GSN video games. Didn't work. They tried Chuck Woolery's reality show. Didn't work. What are they thinking? All these classic games. We may never see them again. On the bright side, at least we have a couple of months to save everything we can to VCR.

God! No! Not that! How will I survive?
ANSWER: the same way I did my first 24 years.
Matt hit the nail on the head. This is Bill Shatner on SNL all over again.

And I repeat:
--- Quote ---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.

People, read a book, take a walk, listen to some music. I'm starting to fear for some of you.

What are these "books" you speak of? Weren't they given out as prizes on "Way Out Games"?

And let me add: in this context, The Encyclopedia of TV Game Shows does not count as "a book."
