Whose to say that they will lose access to it? Harvey's Feud proves that the same show can be seen on multiple channels. It's done with other shows all of time. What makes game shows different?

Well, I think one could argue, Harvey Feud aside, that there's only so much market for Super Password.

How is that a mistake? It's been done before.

The most recent version had three players on each team. But other than that, I think this is good news I think CR was one of GSN's more enjoyable shows.

Don't remember which article mentioned it, but it's in LA this time around.

Hopefully, they'll actually get contestants who can play the game this time around.
