Mail your list to GSN, just like you typed it up there.  I'm sure all of your wildest dreams will come true.

I'll leave it to someone far more bored than myself to dissect your, er, "points."

Frankly, I'm just surprised he got through that without making a reference to Dragon Tales or "Kimberly."

His trading policies gives a hint to what causes his behavior...

Quote

7. [When Trading] Please Edit Out All Anti-Drug Commercials When You Tape My Game Shows; I Don't Like Those Commercials

Besides the fact that that sentence is funny by itself, how many druggies like anti-drug PSAs? And c'mon, doesn't DragonTales just seem like a big trip?

I Heartily Improve This Product And/Or Service.

Title: What GSN Should Do
Post by: saussage on April 03, 2008, 10:04:09 PM

Here's the don't list

1) Add more infomercials
2) Lousy GSN originals (FoF anyone?)
3) Crunch credits
4) Put Time Machine on "haywire" so that the mg wheel goes herky-jerky
5) Get out of classic game shows and into reality tv (always wanted to know how dog tastes like)
6) More cards and gambling
7) Lot of Karn Feud (and get sick of doubling points)

Ummmm... oh yeah, they already done all of the above.

New slogan then:
"GSN... in the process of reaching negative ratings", keep up the good work (sarcasm along with a lemon meringue pie) :)

They don't use tape machines these days--everything's transferred onto those servers--the hard drive of a Vaio.  :)

While mostly true, since Liberty bought 50% of the network in 2000 half of the library has been stored on a 2nd hard drive - on a Dell Inspiron.  :-)

Explains every technical problem GSN's ever had.
