Okay, Chris. I get it. You don't like Jim.

He did nothing wrong there.

Yep. Don't presume it to be anyone else's.

There's an Ignore User function if you don't like it. I encourage its use.

No need to use it on you; you're one of the intelligent posters on the board.

I reserve the killfile spots for the Chumleys and Henkes of the board.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled topic, I think.

I thank you for the complement, and I think I've made my point.

What, praytell, might that reason be?

"Oh, noes! It's not a gaaaaaaaaaaame shoooooooow!!!"
[/quote]
Right. And personally I don't care, it's certainly more of one than Love Connection. But my point was, if Joe cited that reason, then obviously he had some doubts of his own, since it occurred to him.
[/quote]

I know people are rather predjudiced on this board, and I know that people would dance on HSP's grave when given the chance simply because of that.  And, because I try to incorporate ALL sides of the story, I knew that this renewal (or any renewal) wasn't a slam dunk so I gave the reasons for the negative.

Remember, High Stakes Poker is one of the 2 best GSN originals ever.

I could've sworn I typed "in my opinion".

That was supposed to go "Remember, High Stakes Poker is in my opinion one of the 2 best GSN originals ever."  

I made a whole damn thread about it, so I don't see why you're all surprised.

It may be your opinion, but I file it along the lines of Mark's opinions on Bill Cullen being overrated...

THEY'RE BOTH BUNK.

Because we have had many a jackass come through here and say exactly what you ended up saying: "Remember? I made the post about it, therefore it must be undeniably true!"

In saying what you ended up saying, no matter what your intent, you've positioned yourself quite well to be the next jackass.

Typical. News of a GSN renewal on 1/2 page, vitriol, name-calling, and "Wow." on the other 3-1/2. Any wonder I'm not too attracted to this place any more?

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

Yeah,well, last time I checked, I was entitled to an opinion, whether you like it or not.  It's up to you whether you agree or not; obviously you don't; but I don't think its right for you to dismiss someones opinion as "bunk" because you don't happen to agree with it.

I'm sure we could find something that people disagreed with you about...but I would afford you the courtesy of letting you extend it...unless it was something truly asinine (i.e. "Brian Henke is the best poster ever").

"The earth is flat," could also be an opinion, but it would be wrong.  If you only saw the flatlands, I can see how that conclusion could be reached. Joe has admitted he hasn't seen all of the GSN originals, yet he declares HSP one of the two best ever, and from what I gather, Mark is going by Bill's '80s output when forming his opinion.  Bill was very fast-paced on "Eye Guess" and "Blankety Blanks."  It all depends on the show.  Bill could speed it up or slow it down when neccessary and that's part of what made him great.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

Just as a little note if people stopped reading after a bit, High Stakes Poker replaces Millionaire Mondays at 8PM ET.  They will be showing season 1 there.  This interested me too; I was looking at some ratings I got ahold of, and High Stakes Poker is GSN's second highest rated show ever, only losing to Millionaire.
