« on: July 24, 2006, 07:43:51 PM »
I am a big GSN fan!  I loved when Wheel of Fortune and The Price is Right was shown.  Also Match Game (90) was shown and fun to watch!  If you have any suggestions, please reply!  Your comments are greatly appreciated.  One problem may occur however!  I wonder if GSN still owns rights to air them.  Anyway please post back!

*sigh* I have a feeling you'd fit in perfectly on the GSN boards.  Check there.

Guys, he's a newcomer, cut him a little slack. Please.

Anyways, wyoperson, welcome to the board. Yes, GSN does still have Wheel and the Match Game you speak of, but haven't aired TPiR in over six years. I forget the actual reason behind it, but there's been some discussions about it over the years, so you might wanna look thru the archives. I'm sure it's something or other there. ;-)

Again welcome, and enjoy.

I think the short version is that Fleming and Tauber let the rights to it expire in 2000, and then when new management came in, CBS wasn't willing (and still isn't) to negotiate a new contract.

It's assumed that the reason is because due to the fact that TPiR hasn't changed that much since it's olden days, that the new CBS episodes would lose ratings.

Actually wouldn't it be more accurate to say that it HAS changed significantly and that CBS might be afraid that people will think "God, I can't believe how much this show SUCKS nowadays!" if they were to compare the current episodes to the classic ones?

That's what I've always thought.  Not to mention the everyday appearances of various Barker's Beauties, many of whom were dismissed over the years for whatever reason, that Barker may not want to be seen with.

If CBS is that worried about that, then GSN could just try to pick up a more recent season, like maybe season 29 or so. It could satisfy some of the people complaining that TPIR isn't being shown on GSN anymore, and GSN wouldn't have to sift through every single episode to make sure there aren't any fur coats.

Of course, some would complain about the episodes not being old enough, but you can't please everyone.

All very good points.  Also, the average viewer is stupid enough to watch a 1970s ep and believe:
- that you can buy a new car for under $3,000.
- that Bob Barker is dying his hair again.
- that Johnny Olsen is still alive.
Remember, I'm talking about the average viewer, not the average GSF member.  We're smart enough not to get brainwashed into buying three of everything we see on TV (trust me, those BK Stackers are very bad for you).

Out of that group, you're most likely to see Tattletales.  Most of us would like to see some of the others as well but it would cost GSN more to license them at this point.

some more of the old Dating Game
some more of the old Wheel Of Fortune(when Chuck hosted it)

1.  When pigs fly (although I'd love to see it myself).
2.  Plausible, but they're already showing the two more recent versions.
3.  When donkeys fly.
4.  When I'm named as the new TPiR host.
5.  When the Cubs win a World Series.
6.  When, ah, screw it.

Ease up on the suggestions.  They ain't happening, and we're not the place that can make them happen.

Considering they were, oddly enough, the lowest-rated of the classic games during their time on GSN, can't see that happening anytime soon.
