Too Old For Primetime

As of this last Monday, Regis' Who Wants To Be a Millionaire was removed from the primetime lineup. In all honesty the ratings weren't that great. Engvall did so much better there. It was nice to see something different for a change of pace, but in reality, the remainder of the GSN audience didn't. Oh well, maybe Engvall could do the numbers again there right? No. The not-so-better Deal or No Deal that followed Regis at 9:00pm gets the 8:00pm slot. Why I didn't agree with this. Didn't we just get out of that Howie multiple times a day era on GSN? I guess not. It was nice just having a 2-3 a day. 4 is way too much. His numbers weren't that great either. Sherri did better in that slot. While it was nice to see some non Originals in primetime, it just doesn't work. Those people who love the dirty raunchy stuff and care about people's sex lives are the hugest audiences for the network. The ratings showed it. Of course, Karn's primetime episodes are from 2003-2004 which is pretty old, but newer episodes of Feud do real well for GSN. Oh well, hope they give it more weekend exposure in the place of poker. Yeah the demos are amazing, but the ratings stink. Time for it to go. Good thing it's out of prime time.
