Game Show Network Pitch Tape

This was the tape Sony used to sell advertisers and cable operators on Game Show Network a couple years after the network went on air in 1994. Narrated by Pat Sajak, it gives a tour of GSN, Sony and talks about the revolution that was 24 hours of game shows and interactive television. Apologize for the video, but it was sent to me on a trade.

Laura Chambers of Club AM appeared on a lot of game shows herself. (Sale of the Century, Scrabble pilot, and Tic Tac Dough, to name a few.)

7:05- Do you recognize that woman? As if I didn't know.

And was this actually aired as an informercial?

No, this was shown to cable executives and advertisers, by Sony, to gain interest in putting the channel on cable systems and gain advertising. Obivously, it was done a little while after the network had been launched.

It warms my heart to see so much love for my favorite genre of television. Game Shows.

RIP Peter. You lived a long and healthy life.

I wish Game Show Network were still like this :(

They now lease them (and other shows) by seasons b/c of GSN's part-ownership by Liberty Media, hence their practice of showing a particular season until it's run into the ground.

I don't why I get sort of emotional during the music at the end.

[Disneydanny]

if they have several seasons of Whhel and Jeopardy, WHAT THE HELL are they DOING rehashing they same ones OVER and over.

Hm, I guess GSN had the entire 21st season of TPIR in its vaults at this time, you could see a clip of Edrie from the March 4, 1993 show at 4:41. I heard that GSN got so far as airing the week of Christmas shows from that season.

Let's hope they bring back Joker's Wild!
