Behind Door No. 2: A Revamped GSN
Johnissoevil:
Some of you are misinterpreting what's being said here. GSN is not doing away with game shows altogether. They will still show up on the schedule. And even if they were doing away with them, well, I will admit, I'd be disappointed, but game shows are not the *only* classic TV material out there in reruns. We still have TV Land, Hallmark, Trio, Nick @ Night, hell, I still watch old cartoons I grew up with sometimes on Cartoon Network and Boomerang. And let's not forget VH1 Classic, which gives us music we grew up with.

Looks like someone's been hitting the Krispy Kremes pretty hard! :-D

TV Land (nope)
Hallmark (nope)
Trio (nope)
Nick @ Night (nope)
Cartoon Network (bastardised Canadian version)
Boomerang (nope)
VH1 Classic (nope)
That's why some of us feel strongly about this.

Even in the USA, Cartoon Network has all but abandoned classics. A quick look-see at their schedule shows that almost all of their classic shows run during the weekend overnight or early morning hours (Tom and Jerry cartoons and Scooby-Doo episodes being the primary exceptions). Pretty much everything else classic has been moved to Boomerang (which, of course, my cable company won't add). I've never seen the Canadian version of Cartoon Network (the last time I visited Canada Cartoon Network didn't exist).
Sounds like some other network in Culver City, doesn't it? :)

The Canadian animation channel is known as Teletoon and is not owned by Time Warner.
It seems to me that a Canadian TV Land recently started on the digital tiers.
And we have to remember that CN's audience primarily remains kids, with the exception of Adult Swim, where their audience seems to want to watch old H-B characters only if they're incompetently interviewing C-list celebs, defending other H-B cartoon characters in court or speaking in non sequiturs. If the kids prefer Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup to Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks, there's not much we can do about it.
