Title: TVLand dips their toe into game shows
Post by: tyshaun1 on September 11, 2014, 01:28:52 PM
Checked out TVLand via a tweet from Buzzerblog; sure enough, Family Feud with Mr. Harvey will begin running on their network beginning September 29th at 8/7c.

It's not the first time.  Remember their Ultimate Fan Search?

Maybe this'll encourage GSN to clear their schedule up for other programming.....

Like Family Feud with a host other than Steve Harvey.

Not happening.

You realize when you say this that nobody and I mean NOBODY puts any stock in it, right? You are completely disreputable at this point.

Wasn't there a significant reduction in the amount of Karn episodes airing? Pretty sure that's the reason for such a large departure.

Crap, I didn't even notice that.

Yeah, citing YOUR OWN BLOG as evidence to back up your statement? That's the mark of a true arsehole.

But, in true LGY style, he'll completely ignore this and keep posting crap from his blog....Much like someone else who hops up and down in his chair when his name is mentioned, I'm sure LGY hops up and down in his chair with glee that he posted excepts from his blog here.

Just saw a promo that Harvey Feud will also be airing soon on BET.

I admire the audacity of the sales force.  Selling the same product to THREE different cable channels, while the show is still being offered in first-run syndication, takes a special kind of smooth.

True, but at a very early time: 8am EST, starting on the 29th as well.

Kinda makes you wish you had a source for several dozen synonyms for "cojones". Oh, wait!

With his talk show and double run of Feud, it's possible for someone to see him on network television 15 times a week.

When you factor in GSN, and now TVLand and BET reruns of Feud, in addition to his old sitcom being rerun on Centric (think BET 2), his amount of appearances on TV start to reach astronomical totals.

If Oprah Winfrey can have her own cable channel, why not Steve Harvey?  ;-)

Steve Harvey Inspirational Television.  Can't wait to see it abbreviated in the grid.

In the future, television will only be Steve Harvey and football.

Don't forget that some markets have a double-double run of Feud (the other double run being shows that are a season or two old). It looks like Centric is going to be running Feud as well in the afternoons.

That puts Steve in conflict with his nationally syndicated morning radio show.

That's big trouble for the people that are federally forbidden to watch TV and listen to radio at the same time.

Once the schedules get sorted out, I'd be interested to see just how much Harvey Feud someone could watch in one day in a given market on live TV. 6, 8 hours maybe? WPWR in Chicago is now doing a quadruple run from 5-7pm.

For a game show with a prize budget of probably $40-50K a week, the return on investment they're getting with all these distribution deals for reruns must be staggering.

I could not believe it when I put on Nick at Nite the other night and there it was.  For a moment I thought I had put GSN on by mistake.

GSN might as well be the "Family Feud" network, since that's what they air seemingly 8 out of 16 hours per day.  Couple that with the current season that is on in syndication, why did they feel the need to add a game show like Feud, which is already on beyond ad nauseum, to Nick @ Nite?  Honestly...

I have a weird, rare but recurring dream where I discover an obscure over-the-air station that's running daytime game shows.  It has nothing to do with digital subchannels, I've had the image in my mind for decades.  Last night, I had the dream again, and the station was airing Harvey Feud.

Richard Karn's Family Feud airs 2 times per week.

And if I read correctly, Karn's Feud now airs zero times per week.  The end of a 7 1/2 year run on GSN.

As is YES TV in Canada.

Where will it end up next, Cartoon Network?  Adult Swim would actually be perfect, given the content of some of the answers these families give these days...
