Video game programs coming to GSN
PeterMarshallFan:
Yeah, well, I had a nice little rant on the GSN boards that got deleted. You dare to question them they delete you.
I said this at GSN: If Starcade, Video Power, or The Video Game, which are all true game shows, were included in this package, it would be a lot better.

Let us not forget that Bob Boden is at the helm and wouldn't do something this dumb. (Inquizition and Mall Masters runs through my mind)
But seriously, I can understand where they are coming from. They are trying to broaden their appeal. I can't blame they for trying that.
What I can blame them for is continuously trying new programming, finding that it's not working, then trying something else which also doesn't work.
They are throwing anything against the wall to see if it sticks.

Game Station Network, anyone? Sony already owns the rights to something called The Station.... [/quote]

Ahem, they already changed their name from \"Game Show Network\" to \"GSN\".
Think there's more to it than they're willing to let on?

Well, aaaaaactuallllly, Rich Cronin (The Pres/CEO of GSN) has been the main figurehead behind all these non-standard moved (Games Across America, the VG block, etc)
Somehow, I doubt we'd be seeing this with Boden running the show. Yer right. Bob wouldn't do anything this stupid. But Cronin would have (The only good thing Rich Cronin has done in office at any network, IMO, is launching TV Land...and *IT* wasn't even that great until after he left it)

As already heralded by many of the above posts, when did GSN decide to become \"The Next G4?\"
I have the privilige of being one of the many selected markets to have the G4 network, so this move by GSN is a wasted effort. Never mind the fact that G4 airs both versions of Starcade without the usual \"GSN edits\" or what not.
I may recant this statement years from now - and I regret saying this - but GSN is slowly going the way of Cartoon Network (a lot of originals, with only TWO of them being watchable) and MTV (completely deviating from the purpose of the channel, with the current schedule being weak at best and horrid at worst).
To GSN: leave the VIDEO GAMES to G4, and focus on the GAME SHOWS.
