When did you first hear about GSN?
Brandon Brooks:
Wow, what fond memories I had.
I didn't come onto ATGS until 2000, and I was lurking around, using tvgameshows.net and tv-gameshows.com as my main resources of game show info. Well, through these sites I heard about GSN. A game show channel for a game show freak. Wow! So I had to wait until digital cable to come around to the Memphis area, and that was around September of 1999. To appease me, my mom got it in December. I even stayed home from school that day to watch it (My mommy loved me :-)). The first show I saw was Larry Blyden and the red and yellow WML? I'd never seen it before, and I was captivated. Then it was one of my favorite shows of all time (and still is): The $100,000 Pyramid with Dick Clark! And later on... Classic Barker Price Is Right, infused with WinTV!!! Man, what heaven that was.
Other great early memories was the GOTW (weird, and obsucre shows, and my introduction to my least favorite show, Camoflauge), Cullen TPIR (my favorite B&W game), and Y2Play (with my first sightings of Narz NYSI, Eubanks CS, and the most bass ackwards version of Jeopardy I've ever seen).
Man, those were the days.

I first saw GSN at a buddy's house in Massillon, Ohio in late 98 early 99.(knew of it before then).It had a 3:30 Color Password airing (Peter Lawford, Barbara Eden)..Thought it was neat to \"play along\" with contestants from over 30 years ago..In late summer 1999 GSN was added to the Digital Cable of Time Warner of Canton Ohio..Also got it on Dish Network for a while..Love the classics Would watch more originals if I had time..

I actually heard of GSN whilst doing a search on the web and found their discussion forums back in July 2001. At that time I didn't get GSN, as I had no television, but I got a television last February and have had GSN ever since. I really love gameshows, I just more people in my area of Montreal, Canada, shared my joy.

A promo via satellite in the Summer of 1995 and became a GSN viewer a year later in September,1996.

I think I heard of GSN around 1997-98 or so. saw the WOF/J! promos, and went to their website. I was disappointed when they didn't have one of my favorite shows (Pyramid).
after taping 2-10 hour tapes from around 1999-2000 at my dad's work which had a satellite dish, I finally got Digital Cable which had GSN on September 5, 2001. Basically I got it 4 days after LMAD and PYL came to the network.
