Title: What should fill Friday nights?
Post by: LetsGoYankees on December 22, 2012, 09:43:12 AM
Because Improv isn't working.

Let's be realistic: 5th Grader, Minute to Win It, The Pyramid, more Feud, or classics again?

Cuz Pyramid did so well on Friday nights the first time.  If it succeeded, surely it would still be on during Friday nights...right?

I say extend the Press Your Luck lease by acquiring episodes 51-54 and air them ad nauseum every Friday night.

New low!!!!!!

Seriously, and this might be a tad unrealistic, but do a Feud marathon, but lease some Combs episodes, which haven't been seen in a while anywhere on the schedule?

Though Friday night may not be the best place for them, I'd love to see the G-T panel shows back on the regular schedule.

John was doing that to make fun of Gameshowlover87, you nimrod.

An hour of classics would work - even without the Winston IGASes (I assume the ban is still on?), they can pair WML with whatever they have in their miscellaneous pile.  How long has it been since they've aired that one episode of Eye Guess that exists?

I notice Greed isn't on the schedule anywhere - how long has it been since that's been on?

(And if the possibility for "never before on GSN" shows exists, how hard would it be for GSN to get runs of "forgotten" shows like, say, The Chair, or Show Me The Money, or (Fox's) It's Your Chance of a Lifetime?  Then again, maybe I shouldn't give GSN any ideas, or we'd probably end up with Unan1mous, You Deserve It, and The Moment of Truth.)

Of the last 14 threads started on this subforum, you created 11 of them.

You tell me who is rambling.

To answer the original question posed, the syndie panel shows from the 70s and early 80s haven't aired in a while. GSN could air an hour each of WML (one ep each of Bruner and Blyden) and TTTT (one ep each of Moore and Robin Ward). How they do ratings wise is anybody's guess.

You know what? There's a pattern I've noticed. Probably don't mean a whole lot but has anyone else noticed that after Mr. Benmario started lurking (or got his privileges pulled, who knows), someone else picked the slack up in his department (i.e. random threads that not too many people will find interesting)?

Fresh from the GSN press release I just made up:

Quote
Celebrity marriages are always on the out and out, so what better way to show celebrity unity than a fun game of "Tattletales"! Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries? Bah, humbug! Jo Ann Worley and Roger Perry sound more like it! Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore? Pshhh! Elizabeth Allen and her guy Charles Nelson Reilly is the way to go! You can't go wrong when so many of the answers are right! Why let failure bring you down when the Banana section is so bright? The 70s were a transformation for the country as it became more free and accepting. Today, it just seems like a day at grandma's. Remember those? Those were nice weren't they? If so, then drop on by Friday nights at 8pm EST for a lovely nostalgia trip guaranteed to send you running to Jared's to marry the first thing with an elongated ring finger. Come join us!

I just want to say for the record, I find it, at a minimum, for Derek Jeter's #1 fan here to go back and edit his post when he was called out for being a hypocrite.

Hey, didja see that?  Both Lego Yank and chickenlover87 edited their posts to make themselves look less foolish.  Sadly, that only works if nobody catches it.  The fact that the former thought he could hide a massive multicolored post and the later thought he could hide a post that was quoted directly beneath itself speaks volumes.  I don't know whether to laugh or cry.  All I know is I still have half my presents to wrap.

I don't know if it's possible with the Invision software, but is there a way to set a maximum allowable time for post editing? Something like 10 minutes would be reasonable to catch mistakes, but when there's incidents like this, its only use is to allow a user hide his own stupidity (and IIRC, Benfield did the same with that long off-topic thread that spawned the Off-Topic Board).

Now I'm curious -- exactly what did he do?  All I saw was your post mocking him in the other thread.

He had a long list of events that occured on GSN this year with a different color for each month.  Babblefish couldn't tell me what it said, unfortunately.

Friday night could be GSN movie night.  Quiz Show, Mallrats, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, etc.

Yeah, where was Lego Yank's Amazing Technicolor Dream Post anyway?

The link I posted to earlier with 'Ahem' lead to the GSN in 2012 thread, whose first post was a rundown of what he deemed the milestones, highlights, and lowlights of GSN in 2012, all grouped somehow (I forget how/why) by color.  He finished the post off by promising there was more analysis on the way, which I believe constituted a violation of one of the Geneva Conventions.

In short, Lego Yank has an unhealthy obsession with GSN programming/ratings/acquisitions/marathons, and unfortunately it looks as though I have an unhealthy obsession with his obsession.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go consume some cookies and milk so my nephews and niece will find an empty plate in the morning and continue believing in Santa.  And to all a good night.

Considering this forum's demographics, my question is nearly rhtetorical, but I'll ask anyway: Do we even know for sure that LetsGoYankees is a "he"?
