GSN Classic
Jimmy Owen:
I wonder why no one has come up with a game show that quizzes folks on the recall of commercials? Something like "You just saw eight commercials. In the fourth commercial, what famous landmark did the lady in the Rascal visit?" The commercials would be part of the program.

Incidentally, has it been confirmed that it won't happen? [/quote]
No. It also hasn't been confirmed that Bob Hope has risen from the dead. Give it UP.

Personally, I'd like to see a cable channel devoted to 24 hours of commercials - and have all the commercials move to that channel because the number on regular TV now is getting to be annoyingly WAY too much.
OK, I'll wake up from my dream now...

We already have such a network. It's called GSN.
Taken a peek at the schedule lately? It's almost all old game shows, often REAL old game shows. The GSN Originals board doesn't have a thing to talk about right now except Stacey.
Things get slightly less decrepit on March 15, but old game shows still dominate the schedule.
Funny thing, the old shows still have some ratings life in them, if the January numbers are to be believed. Will GSN bail out of the non-traditional stuff if the household numbers go south?

GSN will probably never totally abandon the old shows.
I would suspect if this experiment fails, that you would see more old shows taking their place.
GSN thinks they are giving us what we want to see.
Interesting to see how this turns out.
