What Pet Peeves do you hate about Game Show Network that I also do: Is it the shrinking of fee plugs (classic game shows if kept intact) or end credits for 1, 2, or even worse, 3 split screen GSN promos? Is it the speed ups on 1 part of a classic game show airing? Is it the replacing of fee plugs before the end credits of classic game shows (mostly Match Game/Match Game PM, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, Win Lose or Draw, $100,000 Pyramid, and Classic Hollywood Squares - I can't rule out Tom Bergeron's Hollywood Squares) for 1 more commercial break? Is it the upcoming 2 hour weekend video games block? Is it the 3 hour informercial block in early morning? All of the above? Opinions welcome...

I know I'm gonna get 'verbally kicked in the teeth' for suggesting this, but.....

GSN hasn't retired I've Got A Secret from B&WO. Almost every other B&W show they have has come and gone during that 2-hour block, yet IGaS is STILL on. In fact, they're now showing IGaS episodes that are on their THIRD run since B&WO began; that is, episodes they ran earlier in the B&WO run before GSN started showing them in order. I guess you might call this a case of the 'been-there-done-that blues.'

Cordially (I hope),
Tammy Warner--the 'Michelina Martel of the Big Board!'

I for one am SICK of seeing these \"I hate GSN because___\" posts. They're EVERYWHERE. (No offense, dheine1971) and it seems that no one is happy with any move GSN makes. Can't we focus on the good of things for once?

Sorry. Rant over.

 Man, we get the point...GSN is getting on your nerves with the speed-ups, split screens, etc. They irritate me as well, but you don't see me complaining every other post. There are things in life more important than GSN.

 I agree. It's a television channel in operation to make money. They're not going to change no matter how much one whines. I don't like what they've done in the last year and change, but I'm certainly not about to advocate any boycotting campaigns or anything like that. I also don't have time to watch it anymore. I used to when I didn't have to work as much. But, life is more than a stupid cable network. Deal with it and don't watch it if you're not happy.
