Didn't the pre-GSN days run very old episodes of "Jeopardy!" from 1984-1991?

[mikeyhetrick]

Yes they did...and they still have them in their library since Jeopardy is owned by Sony. However, it will be rare if those see the light of day again.

[Disneydanny]

Correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't it Pat Sajak who asked them to stop showing Wheel?

[mikeyhetrick]

No, Pat has never told them to stop showing wheel to my knowledge.

[MysticMTL]

GSN no longer has wheel episodes in house, and they have to lease them out, just like any other game show package, so they just don't bother anymore I guess...

[mikeyhetrick]

Really? Hmm...Sony (formally Columbia Tristar) owns the show now and GSN is 50% owned by Sony. I'm sure they still have them in house, they probably just don't show them anymore because of the possibility of over exposure.

there was every reason to watch Game Show Network,there is no reason to watch GSN,no reason whatsoever.

Game Show Network is getting slowly better, but they need to add Wheel of Fortune, The Price is Right, Jeopardy, and some black and white game shows.

[70s80s]

I miss Game Show Network as it used to be. :(

[telewatcher89]

That "coming up" bumper shows you right there why you should watch (or should have watched) GSN. The Price Is Right, Wheel of Fortune, and Jeopardy! on the same network!

Seriously, shouldn't expect a network called GAME SHOW Network to have the most popular game shows on the network.

[DorvellTStewart]

I hate those god aweful Infomercials! Why can't it be game shows 24/7!

[WhatsAYak]

Gotta love those old "coming up next" bumpers where they'd show the opening title shot of each show, then flip it on its side to display the name/airtime.

[GCRams2]

They still show Tic Tac Dough with Wink Martindale at 9:30amE/8:30amC.

[GCRams2]

unfortunely,GSN even on DirecTV or Dish Network go to informercals at 3amC/4amE.

[GCRams2]

GSN still shows Wheel they show it at 12:30e/11:30c.

Game Show Network was better. But now that it is GSn, it sucks!!!!!!!!. Execept for Bingo America, which i have to give credit for cash prizes.
