Title: Baggage to Return as "Baggage on the Road" in 2015
Post by: jjman920 on September 17, 2014, 12:24:34 AM
From The Hollywood Reporter. (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/gsn-orders-baggage-dating-show-733294) Jerry Springer is set to return.

Wasn't exactly sure why Baggage was given the can so soon. I don't know of the ratings at the time of its first production stoppage, but it seemed to be buzzworthy for a good minute.

Because it's absolute titillating crap?

Baggage is a show that, no matter who I've shown it to, people absolutely love it. It's trashy but it's a lot of fun. It's one of GSN's most solid originals.

Well, we must hang around different people, then.

In the week that I watched it to get a sample size I found it uninteresting (but then I'm predisposed to dislike dating shows in general) It reminded me of the year that Brad Sherwood helmed The Dating Game, where the three suitors would tell a story about some fascinating fact about them instead of fielding silly questions. The thrust of how Baggage would be presented was known as soon as Jerry Springer introduced himself as host.

It's one more reminder that I'm generally not television's desired audience, so I watch/listen to other stuff. Come, join me and someone will be by to take your drink order.

Baggage is nothing more than The Dating Game minus the "can't see who you're choosing from " aspect with the bachelors'/bachelorettes' personal major issues thrown in in place of the dating related questions.

So did anyone catch the new eps of this?  I saw one show last week. Pretty much it's the same show.
