Shhh! You're not supposed to blab about Matt's summer replacement for "Quizbusters." :-D

I just realized GSN's been stuck at the 50-55 million mark ever since Rich Cronin took over. That indicates that even the network hasn't done much to push for broader coverage over the past couple of years, which usually means that TPTB aren't happy with the network itself. So if the suits aren't pleased, that makes a GSNPlus or GSN2 less than likely. Now excuse me, I have to go parse some more. ;)

Casey, I guess you didn't get the confidentiality memo....now I'll get to move up from announcer to host because you violated the agreement.
Where's Randy? ;-)

I guess I'll toss in my 2¢ in for the scheduling moves that caught my eye the most...

Well, I've never watched F-A-D whatsoever, but my Mom has, (Who, by the way, is a gigantic dating show connoisseur.) and she really didn't like the show. (And this is coming from somebody who likes just about anything closely related to a dating show.)
I'll take her word for it. Good move for now, at least.

--- End quote ---
I'll go out on a limb and say that this could be a blessing in disguise. $100,000 Pyramid was LONG overdue for a rest, and now will finally get it. But for how long?
--- Quote ---Star Search weekdays @ 11AM and 7PM
--- End quote ---
Hmm. Interesting. If this is only the most recent run, we could very well see some runintheground-itis. Could be a good move IF both classic and recent version are in the mix, though.
--- Quote ---Dog Eat Dog weekdays @ 9pm
--- End quote ---
How many episodes of Dog Eat Dog have been taped? If this isn't a future case of a show that will be quickly ran into the ground, I don't know what is.
--- Quote ---Street Smarts weekdays @ 11PM, 9PM Saturdays
--- End quote ---
Now this would be a good move. Heck, considering the number of seasons taped, and the number of episodes picked up, I'd run it twice a day.
Overall:[/i][/u]
The Pros:[*]PYL is not going anywhere yet! YIPPIE! (Same can be said for BTC, CS, BB, and TANLMAD)
[*]Overall, good schedule placement for Street Smarts.
[*]The departure of F-A-D.
[/list]The Ehhh‘s:[*]$100,000 Pyramid getting a much deserved rest. But for how Long?
[/list]The Cons:[*]Too many possible candidates for the next show to be too quickly ran into the ground.
[/list]The Bottom Line
Could be worse, I guess. Still won't be watching GSN more than 3 hours a week, though.

"Summer replacements" are so old-fashioned. We choose instead to strategically repurpose previously aired epiosdes.
