[quote name=\'PeterMarshallFan\' date=\'Sep 6 2003, 12:35 PM\'] the Debating Game promos with Mary Carey going up and down would turn people off. [/quote]
I wouldn't say Mary Carey bouncing up and down turns me OFF, per se... ;)

Well, I just was over there. You're right, he's REALLY unloading.

I'm wondering if the issue could be the amount of times these \"65\" shows are rerun.

--- Quote ---Casino vs. Cram
Casino was essentially a revival of Gambit, with high stakes and sabotage strategy. Cram, well.....has a Nordic woman with her rubber balloons hanging out on every episode. Guess what got picked up?

You seem to be fixated on her breasts -- obviously there must be something there which has you captivated.
And Gambit is blackjack but less interesting. It was fine in the 70s and 80s, but it's truly boring television. Cram is a reasonably active (not hyperactive) show that most people can relate to -- who here hasn't pulled an all-nighter?
--- Quote ---Telepathy
From what I've gathered, this was a Password-like game. Must have required an IQ higher than 12.

Or maybe because it's not interesting television. Or maybe it had a poor game mechanism.
--- Quote --- the opinions that say that GSN was better off with a more classics-driven lineup, have the Nielsens to back them up.

And in a related story, sales of aluminum foil increased fourfold among the internet game show community. The new Neilsens prove little as there are too many factors to count.

Man, they REALLY got defensive too! Did you see Guide Angel flat out attack him?

True. I was theorizing that it was ditched because you needed to be smart to play it, like most word games.

LOL. But still, is this what this network is becoming [which is why I refereced Icey in my last post]? Moreover, is this what EVERY network is becoming? There's Spike [Lee] TV if you want to see that. There's 14 kajillion docudatergameries if you want to see that. Can't there even be ONE network with some class anymore?
