[barber747]

All I have to say is...WTF?!?

[saml760]

So,this is what it has come to for GSN! once known as the network for games,now its deteriorated to the neywork for dancing.Oh how the mighty have fallen,well i guess this is truly the end for GSN.

[GSNSmashFan3]

Stretch-a-rama. :/

[Dozier191]

@GSNSmashFan3 You're being too kind.

[RiiMashuu]

I bet Dancing With the Stars on GSN will be axed after a weekend or two...

[Digifan23]

@heine71 I don't think so not after paying though the nose for this crap (when they SHOULD be getting the rights to Sale of the Century or Scrabble)

they will probably show it and get 0.0 rating then move it to the Saturday Night Death slot and rerun it to death just like Dog eat Dog and The Amazing (Rat) Race

[heine71]

@Digifan23 I may disagree with you...

[gamelover1949]

@heine71 Don't assume that GSN will give up easily. I expect them to drown with it.

[heine71]

@gamelover1949 Get ready to hope GSN axes it quickly after a weekend or two...

[gamelover1949]

@heine71 I wish I had your optimism, but Digifan is right. They've spent big money on this and the promos for it, so it's guaranteed at least 1=2 months of airtime. This is the first "big" acquisition for the new (female) programming head, so she won't give up easily.

[heine71]

@gamelover1949 1 to 2 months, I'm still betting on 1 or 2 weekends before it is pulled, remember when GSN got William Shatner's short lived ABC game show Show Me The Money and planned to air all 7 episodes but after 2 weeks it was axed from the GSN schedule not making it to the 2 unaired episodes?

[gamelover1949]

@heine71 That was with established "leadership". This programming chief is new, and her pedigree came primarily from female-targeting networks. That's why I think she'll stick with it even if it tanks. And, sadly, there's no guarantee it will tank enough to convince GSN to drop it.

[heine71]

@gamelover1949 But I want GSN to get 100% rights to the Fremantle game shows back and not lease 200-400 of a certain one!

[dgkesquire]

@heine71 Bite me. I didn't get the chance to see all of Season 4 of DWTS, and this is my chance! I've already got my DVR set to record every episode they show.

[heine71]

@dgkesquire We'll see what you get, it may not be long...

[heine71]

@gamelover1949 What do you mean drown with it?

[gamelover1949]

@heine71 They've made their bed (by promoting it to death), and now they'll drown (i.e. lose ratings) with it.

[heine71]

@gamelover1949 You mean make their bet.

[nowhammies10]

There's a clip from The Gong Show. Perhaps this is GSN's way of telling us it's back.

[heine71]

@nowhammies10 Maybe Antenna TV could start airing Gong Show reruns.

[Digifan23]

@heine71 now that's an idea we should we should petition not just Antenna TV but also ThisTV Me-TV, and RTV to bring Game shows and Soaps to those networks in fact iv'e just started one

[heine71]

@Digifan23 Where is your petition?

[heine71]

@heine71 I signed the petition thanks to the link you gave me in a PM.

[heine71]

@Digifan23 Retro TV (RTV) currently reruns Merv Griffin's Crosswords and Celebrity Bowling, 2 shows GSN could have picked up!

[megamanj2004X]

I'd rather see The Gong Show (which has "game show" written all over it) than Dancing with the Stars which is NOT even a game show.

"Dancing with the Stars"

[garrisonskunk]

I got it! It's the fact that "Dancing With the Stars" is NOT a game show! Oh...wait...no, that hasn't mattered to GSN for seven years now..

[GameShowGarbage]

The Gong Show Clip. They don't have the rights to it.
