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. [/quote]
ANother thought: When does the license to air G-T shows expire? I have to wonder if they'll just renew the rights for Feud and Match Game when it does expire. My guess is the license to air WLOD has expired, and since it just was never a huge success, they didn't bother to renew it or get the rest of the run.
CaseyAbell:
If the WLoD license has expired, GSN better have a good lawyer. It's on the schedule for the next month and a half.

Maybe it expires in April, as that will be two years since it premiered. Maybe they're just taking it off a month early to enhance their schedule...
CaseyAbell:
If a lot of licenses for old shows expire in April, I don't see how GSN can avoid renewing them, with the obvious exception of WLoD. Their March 15 schedule is dominated by old game shows. No way they can fill all those hours if they let a bunch of licenses expire.
I've seen some promos for the upcoming Valentine's Day LC marthon. GSN has clearly licensed some eps besides the 1991-92 episodes they've ground into dust. (Funny to see Chuck with longer hair. Looks like the old WoF days.) I don't know if this is a one-time license or if GSN will put those different episodes into their regular rotation.

IIRC, per the professor the G-T renewal was May 2003.
How long it was for is unknown.
