Title: "5th Grader" coming to GSN
Post by: catnap1972 on October 18, 2011, 01:27:48 PM

No idea if they're the syndicated eps or the primetime FOX ones, but starts November 6th according to the commercial.

Wow! If I had to guess, it would probably be the primetime FOX episodes. Besides, doesn't The Hub presently air the syndie version? Not sure if it's exclusive, though.

Indeed it will be the hour long network episodes.  Will air in 5 hour blocks on Sundays.

5 straight hours of 5th Grader!??!?  Talk about overkill...  [Cue Men At Work]

I don't ever recall GSN doing any regularly-scheduled blocks for a single show for more than 3 hours at-a-time (excluding repeat runs of the same episodes for the west coast).

Back in 2007, they ran Dawson's Feud for 5 hours every Sunday. It only lasted about a month or two.
