I just read on buzzerblog about the GSN schedule shuffle in October and when I read about another run of "Match Game" being added in I figured it was time someone finally said it, so here goes...
-ahem- (clearing throat)
" I am sick of watching 'Match Game' "
Now before the thrashing begins can I just argue a few points...
1. Every episode has been repeated several times. I stopped watching 3 years ago and I've only had GSN since 2001.
2. The old adage, "too much of a good thing leaves one wanting less" (ie, ABC "millionaire")
3. What was LOL funny the first time, gives only a chuckle the second, and gets annoying after. This isn't the "vitameatavegimin" sketch were talking here.
OK, I'm ready for the abuse that will follow but seriously, is anyone still watching the episodes you know you've already seen many times before?

I don't think anyone will yell at you just because you have an opinion. It's your right to have one.
As for MG, It's been 5 years since Match Game '76 was last on GSN. I can hardly remember anything from last week let alone 5 years ago. So pretty much, these episodes are very new to me, and I am sure to many more around here.

I'm by no means a "regular" MG viewer, but if it's on against nothing else I'll definitely watch it. I can honestly say that I will have had access to GSN for ten years this coming winter and to my knowledge, I've never seen a repeat episode of the show in its regular timeslots.

Does this "viewer fatigue" apply only to MG or to other shows as well? I mean, how many times could you see the same episode of Card Sharks year after year?

I'm sure it probably does.
But I say this:
it's called a remote, and it's called other channels.

Not to be the guy who says "It doesn't matter what we think as fans," but, it doesn't matter what we think as fans. If GSN can get one more ad dollar for reruns of MG rather than Blockbusters, yes, they will make the switch.
I honestly haven't watched a full episode of Match Game for 5 years. When GSN appeared on cable for us in '98, I watched it all the time, but my interest has faded over time.
-
I have pretty much found myself burnt out on MG, too. Not helping their cause is the fact that pretty much every at-least-slightly wacky moment ever on the show appears to be on YT.
-
To be fair, these shows were only intended to be viewed once. Except for TPIR they didn't even do reruns, but delivered 52 weeks of new shows year round. No consideration was ever given to future reruns on cable, much less watching each episode three times and then again on YouTube.

But they will because they have a right to yell their "superior" opinions as well.

MG was one of my favorite game shows as a young child - on a "sick day" back in 1989 (why is it that childhood stories involving game shows always involve a "sick day"?), I happened to catch an episode of Sally Jessy Raphael with game show guests, Gene Rayburn being one of them. They showed a MG clip and then a promo (for syndie MG, I would later learn).
So when I found out there would be a GSN, and MG would be one of the shows, I was elated - it was so cool finally watching a full episode.
14 years later, the charm has largely worn off for me, too. Like others have said, some of the MG clips have been run to death so much I no longer find them funny (see also "September, "France/French"). I have the DVD set but my MG interest has been downgraded to "passing".

Wouldn’t this be the case with just about any regularly-run GSN show after 14 years? I think the novelty has probably worn off for most of us by now. There’s still some excitement from time to time – like when they’re going to return an old favorite to the lineup; or when they’ve discovered long-lost shows like the CBS Joker’s Wild or the ABC Password episode they aired, but considering they rarely take those “forgotten gems” that most of us like out of the vault, it is sort of a “passing” interest now. Most of the shows they’ve got on now have been run too many times and I’ve seen them too many times to be “must see TV”.
Case in point: I haven’t had GSN since it disappeared from C-Band satellite in March 2004. For the most part, I haven’t missed it. Anything I’ve needed from GSN during that time I’ve been able to get through trades. Don’t get me wrong…if they all of a sudden started airing shows like Break the Bank, CBS Joker’s Wild, ’86 eps of Press Your Luck, Bullseye, plus numerous others from the vault on a regular basis, or “discovered” tapes of other shows like the original Split Second, I’d run out and get myself hooked up to digital cable to see it again; but since they don’t often “freshen up” their lineup with shows like this, I don’t think I’ll be doing that any time soon. Sometimes I do really miss having access to it, but even if I still had it, I don’t think I’d be watching it as much as I once did.

Yeah, actually it would be the case. While it's nice to have a channel with some sort of "Password" on it, and quite a few versions of "Family Feud" and "Card Sharks", the novelty of it has worn off. When shows like TTD and WoF are dusted off, and (in the case of WoF) a new season selected, it is pretty cool, but other than that...yeah. I fully agree.
But for nostalgia's sake...Wasn't it something back in 1994 when GSN first came on and we got to see all these shows..Nothing but good memories

Match game isn't being run for the hardcore. It's being run for the casual viewers.
From my dealings with other people who know my interests, I can tell you that people who wouldn't watch GSN for any other reason will watch Match Game. They know it -- it's one of those ubiquitous formats that's got a real playalong factor.

I know my mom hates mostly everything on GSN except Match Game and Dawson's Feud. Even when they show the "Boobs" episode for the 50th time, she still gets a laugh out of it. That episode for me, has lost its novelty because of how many times they have ran it in the past 3 years.
-
Could they maybe run the Shafer version again to spice things up? Probably. But it's already been said: MG is the most bankable thing they hold, and probably always will be unless they somehow get Price back in the future.
/Wishes those words were the only mention of Price in this....

Many many moons ago (1996?), most of us didn't have GSN. And, for about two or three days, some property was streaming GSN on the net. You can't imagine the thrill I got watching Card Sharks or Match Game for the first time in years, even if it was on a screen the size of a postage stamp and it took an hour and a half to watch a half-hour show (my computer at the time was slooooow).
Yeah, I got sick of a lot of those episodes around 2003 or so. (I did make a brief effort to introduce Danny to "Uncle Bill" while he was still in diapers, but he was more interested in Baby Einstein.)
To me, it's like comfort food. I know the shows will be there, and when Karen and I are watching TV together and flipping around, we'll always stop at GSN for a few seconds -- longer if it's something we both like (Match Game, To Tell the Truth, Lingo, Child's Play). (Did I mention I'm married to the most wonderful woman in the world?) I'm just happy they're archived -- I never thought, when I got the first EOTVGS in 1987, that I'd ever see most of them again.
-
Frankly, MG isn't as worn out as Millionaire. I wish that GSN would let Millionaire fade to black for a while. I was home, during the day a few weeks ago, and saw the promo with the TPiR bug and my jaw dropped. I hadn't seen the logo on GSN in years. I was hoping it was promoting a return to the schedule.
There are some shows that could be aired. The Joker's Wild and Hollywood Square finds went off as fast as they went on. I'm happy that Russian Roulette is back in the mix. Remove Whammy and air Now you see it during the weekends. I wouldn't mind seeing Jackpot, Treasure Hunt or, if they even exists, Three on a Match. I'd even go for a true run of the Dating Game. But....MG isn't as burned out as Millionaire. It's getting there but there are enough episodes.
-
Like most people here, I am Match Game fatigued, but maybe fatigued isn't an accurate word, since I stopped watching MG on a regular basis in 2005. More accurately, I am Match Game satisfied. I have seen and taped my fill of episodes. Granted, there's 1-2 eps I would like to have in my collection, but if I don't get them for whatever reason, it's no big deal.
I remember watching MG as a kid, and I really was too young to fully understand the show; I just remember the *blanks*, the spinny box, the confederate flag set, and the funky wank guitar theme music. As a teen and young adult, I yearned for the show to return to the air (I didn't even know until many years later that there was a Match Game '90).
When GSN began in '94, I wanted my cable system to get the show so bad, they didn't get GSN until late '99 via digital cable. Until then, I had to settle for Internet sound bites of the show thanks to Chris Lambert's and Mike Klauss' web sites (and getting up at 3:30 in the morning to watch Match Game '98 on WGN).
When we did get GSN, I taped a whole slew of shows on VHS from 1999-2005. I got the DVD box set when it became available. I loved and talked about Match Game so much that my friends thought I was a little too obsessed with the show.
Long story short, between GSN, Youtube, and the DVD set, I have had more than my fill of Match Game and essentially don't watch the show anymore, except on rare occasions.
-
I don't watch GSN all the time, so I'm not burned out on them. Even though I saw most of the CBS run the first time around, I couldn't tell you with accuracy what's gonna transpire on any given show. Still a fun show to watch today. I hope it will be on the GSN sked for a long time to come.

/Had his old A-V club advisor set the school satellite dish to G7-6 for me when GSN came out
Definately was. My dish hardly moved from G7-6 for about six years!
When it began, I was most looking forward to seeing the '70s and '80s shows I grew up with, but over the years my appreciation has grown greatly for what came before that. GSN may not be what we all want it to be, and most of us probably think it could be better than it is, but I'm glad it's been there; it's been a treat to have around all of these years.

Ah, yes. There are seven letters in Goodson (G-7), there are six letters in Todman (T-6). I never found out whether that was deliberate, but it was wonderful.
I had only recently taken my present job as telecommunications director for our school district, and I had four brand new satellite dishes to play with. I played with three of them. The other was not to be touched. G-7. T-6. Nothing else.
Luckily, I had an understanding boss.

Something else to consider is that cable channels still run "MASH," still run Andy Griffith, still run "The Brady Bunch." Rerunning Match Game, especially with, how many, 200 episodes a year for seven years, isn't so bad. Not that a viewer doesn't drift away and drift back every so often.

That is a good point, and sometimes I like watching an old episode of "The Brady Bunch", especially since I haven't really seen the show (except for the Christmas episode) for several years now; but another thing to consider is that those shows have bounced around to different cable channels over the years. As soon as the contract expires on one (or maybe the ratings drop) it winds up on another channel somewhere else that's looking for programming. With shows like "Match Game", there really is nowhere else to go, is there? It's unlikely a channel like TVLand would ever pick it up if GSN decided not to air it anymore.

Seeing what TV Land is doing with it's lineup these days, there's no way in H-E-double hockey sticks they would air a show like "Match Game". Even shows from the 70's are becoming "too ancient" for them now. Why a network would dump what brought them to prominence in the first place for a new direction is beyond me, but I digress.
Speaking of which, I noticed that GSN has changed the look of there TV ratings symbol at the start of there shows. It might be just me, but I sort of feel like I'm watching the "old" TV Land with the new rating look. You know, back when TVL's niche was a balance of classics that have all from disappeared from syndication ("Mannix" and "That Girl", anybody?), "retromercials" and very short-lived rarities. MAN, I miss those days...

I think his point (and it's a valid one) is that Viacom's only going to do that if they would turn a profit from doing so, and the chances of a profit being turned from that are very, *very* low.

In TVL's defense, any channel like it should be evolving its lineup over the years to take in a new decade and a new audience. I can also admire their stated purpose to be a channel for the aging Boomers who are being forgotten by the competition, so I can forgive them the reality shows like "America's Next Top Over-35 Model," uh, "She's Got the Look."
But do they really think that "Scrubs" is gong to do it? I still can't figure that one out. And why should TVL be airing a series that is still in general cash-plus syndication on broadcast TV?

The following is only my opinion on what shows in GSN's vault I think are better than Match Game:
$10,000/$20,000/$25,000/$100,000 Pyramids
Break the Bank (1976)
Bullseye
Bumper Stumpers
Chain Reaction (1980 and 1986 versions)
Double Talk
Go
The Gong Show
Hollywood Squares (Peter Marshall)
Hot Potato
Jackpot (1985 and 1989 versions)
The Joker's Wild
Pass the Buck
Password (CBS)
Play the Percentages
TattleTales
To Tell the Truth (1969, 1980, and 1991 versions)
Treasure Hunt (1973 and 1981 versions)
Win, Lose or Draw (Bert Convy)
And that's pretty much it.

I would just like to seem them once go through the full cycle of shows they aired during the "Dark Period" that they didn't get all the way through. One pass through "Break The Bank", "Chain Reaction", "Pass The Buck" and in particular "$20,000 Pyramid" and that would literally bring down the curtain on every last possible thing that could ever excite me about what I could get from GSN.

Whether it was deliberate is open to conjecture, but I did send GSN's original morning co-host Steve Day a fax about that discovery and he read it on air (the exact date was December 27, 1994). Dave Hammett may still have it on a piece of tape somewhere, as may Robair. I still have the audio clip of Steve saying "We got a great fax from Dave Mackey".

Okay, I'm probably going to sound way out of place here, but here goes.
I first got GSN sometime around 1997 when we decided to switch to the dish. I loved it, but it was short lived love, as we axed the dish after less than a year because it cost too much. I didn't see GSN again until one Sunday morning in 2003. I was hooked right away, because I was seeing stuff I never got to see before. Granted, I probably had seen 1989-era Wheel before, but hell, I was TWO in 1989.
GSN still has its flaws, sure. Mostly subpar originals. Not enough this, too much that, why hasn't this been on the lineup since 1996. But hell, where else can you go if you're in my position? I don't have the resources for tape/DVD trading, and there are only so many clips on YouTube and Google Video once you weed out the 948,000 clips of the "Alligator" incident. GSN gives me at least some of what I was too young to have seen the first time around, and I'll gladly take what I can get.
Too much Match Game? Yes, I think it's a bit of a schedule hog; I'd much rather see . But I still think of it as comfort food. A prime episode of Match Game, to me, has all the campiness, drunkenness, and political incorrectness that almost no modern TV show has, and that alone still draws me to even an episode that I've seen 14 times already.

I don't know if all of those shows are better than Match Game, but many of them are better than some of the shows they currenly air. I've been hoping for 10 years they could find a spot on the schedule again for a show like Break the Bank; or even bring back Joker's Wild. In the case of the former, they only aired it once-weeky during, what some people refer to as "the dark period". I don't know why they couldn't have found a spot on the Mon-Fri schedule - they could have gotten through it twice during that time...instead, we keep hoping GSN will stumble across it in their vault again.
I know we've talked about it before, but even an hour a day for some of the lesser-run shows would be a nice addition. They added Now You See It, Trivia Trap and Monty's Beat the Clock, but it would be cool to see some other non GT shorter-run shows rotated in.
I'm also surprised they didn't give more play to $20,000 Pyramid. They have the last 2 years of the run but only aired about 6 or 7 months worth. The '80s version may have been more polished, but was it THAT much better?
-
The fact that Donnymid is getting shown over both of them is proof positive, I think, that the quality of the program itself no longer has anything whatsoever to do with whether or not it will see the light of day.

Hate to break this to you, but the quality of the program itself has never mattered much to GSN. It's not an overwhelming priority for broadcasters in general.
In the case of Donnymid, the simple fact is that his version of Pyramid looks like a modern show, and the ones with Dick Clark do not. It's not about which one is better.

As the years turn into decades, it's gonna be harder and harder to clear all that music. As they used to say in the MST3K, "keep circulating the tapes"...
