I'll take Shows that are disappearing for $600 - "Things a GSN boardie would say"

GSN usually likes to make changes to its schedule, especially in January. Here are the changes

High Stakes Poker gains..... It's eviction at 3:00am. Replacing it? Well it doesn't sy but I assume it will be Catch-21 and Woolery Lingo. No surprise there.

That was seen from 30 miles away. But here's one I never saw coming. Chain Reaction dies. Yes, it's gone. Over the summer I watched it a little bit, and came to like it a little bit. But I never really got thy change of heart like I did with Karn Feud. Woolery Lingo replaces its 3:30pm slot (all 7 days). If you are sad to see Todd sign off on weekend mornings waiting until the afternoon to see him again, Whammy! goes to weekends at 10:00am

Well, one that we knew could happen, The $25,000 Pyramid leaves (except for Friday nights, and that might not last so I consider it a goner). Replacing it The $100,000 Pyramid at 10:30am, and Jeopardy! at 2:00am. Um hooray!?!?! I don't mind seeing 100K in daytime (in fact I like it better), but I'll miss 25K, especially if it is a winner for Friday nights. Then again, Chain Reaction is also gone. I don't mind Jeopardy!, but I'd rather have another 1/2 hour of Dick Clark.

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.
