I wouldn't call it a ripoff of GSN.  NTN has been around for some time.

 Wink's interactive shows, notably Trivial Pursuit, were a bit NTN-inspired.

I have an NTN trivia book at home.  They began in April 1983 with QB1.  NTN Trivia began in early 1987.  The book was published in 1995.

So it can't be a ripoff of GSN.  Sorry.
