"Now You See It" hoax?

(1/5) > >>

PeterMarshallFan:
While searching for Usenet posts about the Dark Period, I found one post that said, \".....false scheduling (The \"Now You See It\" hoax)\" What is this \"hoax\" about?

Matt Ottinger:
I may have the details wrong, but Now You See It was supposed to return to the GSN schedule in the fall of 1999.  It aired for only a couple of weeks and was suddenly replaced with \"Click\", the Ryan Seacrest children's game that was in syndication a couple years earlier.  I don't think there was ever an official explanation, but the speculation at the time was that GSN was contractually obligated to air Click and they chose to replace NYSI with it.  That may be the \"hoax\" you read about.

PeterMarshallFan:
Many thanks.

Jimmy Owen:
It was a case of \"Now You See It\" and \"Click,\" now you don't!  There was a \"hoax\" involving \"Say When\" a few years back.  GSN had put on their website that the would be showing an episode of the Art James starrer on April 1. It turned out to be an April Fool's joke.

 Y'all have been reading Da Perfesser's site too much.
