No more "Russian Roulette"?
HYHYBT:
Has any GSN original *ever* had more than two \"seasons\"? I can't think of any.

This reminds me of the Nickelodeon game show philosophy in the late eighties/early nineties: let the show get popular, issue another set of episodes and then BAM! You're in reruns! (and now it's BAM! You're on GaS).
Shows such as Finders Keepers, Think Fast, Get The Picture, Nick Arcade pop to mind (of course, as I'm Canadian, I never saw any of these shows in first run*, so I might be totally wrong).
And then there's something called \"Double Dare\" that bucked the trend. I'm sure none of you have heard of it. :)
Cheers,
Ryan V.
*Nick Arcade ran on YTV in the early to mid nineties at 5.30 pm. Why they wouldn't pick up DD or FK is beyond me, though.
PS - Love that quote box!

Legends of the Hidden Temple also bucked the \"two seasons and goodbye\" Nick trend, running either three or four seasons on Nick. GSN has YET to keep an original for more than two \"seasons\". Lingo and Whammy! and possibly Cram are likely candidates to get a third season, but we will see.

Didn't Inquizition go into a third season before it was finally canned?

[quote name=\'Grant78898\' date=\'Jun 16 2003, 11:52 PM\'] I wouldn't care if it got cancelled. I liked the show at first, but then it just got old. Cancel it and replace it with a classic! (like TTD) [/quote]
I wouldn't be either. I just finished talking with a friend of mine about the recent programming moves of GSN and we miss the May 2001 era when more classics were on.
