 They'll still have card sharks, it's just that they'll be sitting at a blackjack table. J/K, let's not jump to conclusions just yet.  Primetime is the big push.  The one thing that worries me is if they're aiming to compete with G4, don't they risk the wrath (and channel space) of Comcast?

I've kinda been standing on the sidelines of this discussion. All I can say is well, I don't like the decision. Haven't they learned from their recent treks off the conventional game show path? The only real successful one was a documentary...about a game show! I'd like to hope it backfires on them. But of course, it's their network. They can do WHATEVER they want. And it's understandable WHY they're doing it. So echoing the sentiments of others, I say life will go on.

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

Nor does Come on Down! or The Cat in the Hat. I've read a couple good books lately..if you want the titles, ask.

But some of you *are* blowing this way out of porportion. For the umpteenth time, it's a *TV* channel!

 No, I have no whining to do. I honestly don't care what GSN does at this point. Back four years ago when my life was different, I used to care what they programmed and by 2001, actually started to enjoy the variety. Now, I work more than full time and have a baby on the way. During the few points in the week when I'm not at work, I spend time chilling with my wife and can't let a once-good cable network be the focus of my life. When the baby is born and I'm up all night with her, I'll have to catch some of the great programming on like those shows where someone breaks in to your house while your out and changes the decor. My wife never tires of those shows. OBGameshows, I'll just stick to the good ones like TPIR.

 Hey, ya never know, the new GSN might use some of the library as overnight filler. You may get the chance to see Joker's Wild at 3:00a when you're up with the kid.

Good luck with the little one! :)
