GSN Giveth, and GSN Taketh Away

Well, Beginning April 21st, we have some interesting daytime changes. It hasn't been confirmed by PDF schedules or online schedules yet, but Directv has them. Here they are.

9:00am - Password Plus (Replaces Blockbusters)
9:30am - Whammy! (Replaces Press Your Luck) (This hurts)
10:00am - The $25,000 Pyramid (Replaces $ale of the Century)
10:30am - $ale of the Century (Replaces The $25,000 Pyramid)
11:30am - Lingo (Woolery) (Replaces The $100,000 Pyramid)
2:30pm - Chain Reaction (Replaces The Pyramid)

Well, there you have it. I don't know what the Weekend schedule has quite yet. But it looks like Blockbusters, Press Your Luck and The $100,000 Pyramid depart the schedule. Shame. I like Blockbusters and was thrilled when GSN brought it back last December. One of my favorites, and Bill was a great emcee. Was fun to see it back. Fun while it lasted. Same with Press Your Luck. I love Whammy! don't get me wrong, but not in the place of the original. Then again, the same 57 episodes have been repeated a lot in the last year. And $100,000 Pyramid goes away once again. That'll probably be back before we know it. Then again, we haven't seen weekends yet.

Glad to see Chain Reaction back. As for Woolery, please be just Woolery, no co-hosts. I'd definetley watch.

Starts April 21st. There may be more. Maybe Blockbusters and Press Your Luck on weekends at 9:00am.

Goodies

Well, Wink Martindale has a YouTube Channel, Facebook, and Twitter. Wink has uploaded a playing of the pricing game, Shower Game!

The concept is you step into a shower. If you get showered with confetti you try again, if you get showered in cash you win cash. If you get showered with a key, you win the car.

Simple right? Well, this game is offensive. It looks like something you'd find in a concentration camp. I normally hate people who get offended easily, but this is a pretty tasteless setup. Luckily it was retired quickly. And the format was stupid anyway. At least we've now seen it. Just a few more to go.

I wonder what else Wink will have for us? Maybe those other lost games we've never seen before.
