To be honest..I don't know this. I read about it and I thought that meant all four seasons..now yes I don't know a lot (I admit) and I misread or misunderstood everything. So I'd take full blame for that.

Right. Then I'd suggest refraining from posting things you don't know.

They should air it in a block with the ABC version...the promos write themselves...

"See one Richard chew the fat, and then see another Richard chew the scenery! It's a full hour of Feud, next on G-S-N!"

Oh boy, GSN gets to squeeze the credits to promote another mediocre, if not, lame show. Joy.

Well clemon at the risk of further embarassment I will refrain from posting things I do not know. I will take your advice and I thank you.

I don't get it.

I think more people watch the 11p-12a Match Game(s) than, say, the 9a showing.

Personally, it's appointment viewing for me.

The scary part of this is, unless i'm mistaken, GSN doesn't have a west coast feed...meaning the Karn-age airs at 8PM weeknights on the left coast.

Except that they do, so it won't. GSN launched the west coast feed a couple or so years ago.

(They could have picked something better to acquire, but they COULD have done worse.)

However, at least one large cable operation in Burbank only offers the east coast feed to its subscribers (at least they were when I visited in December). It's a little jarring to see Playmania at 9pm.

From the couple of times I tried watching the show, it's a little jarring to watch whatever the time on the clock is...

If there's any bright side to this,at least it's not Louie's version.

So, if we're led to understand correctly, then a rare, exquisite broadcast of the original Double Dare with Alex Trebek is getting bumped in favor of Flannel Feud, which will then remain part of the regular lineup.

Yup. That did it. That's the kick in the pants I needed to downgrade my Dish package. Bye-bye, GSN, hello an extra $13 a month.

And Jamie doesn't squeeze the credits! ;-)

Somehow, GSN manages to pyll a wool over my eyes on this one. I didn't see this move comming. I don't mind putting Karn's Feud on at 11 PM Tuesdays-Fridays, but a preview marathon in place of the 1976 Double Dare? I don't like it one bit. Now I'll have to find something else to watch that night(March 3).

To Jamie: Don't woory, the Page O' Clips will still be a place I'll fall back on to get my fill of 1970s game shows

Ian Wallis · « **Reply #27 on:** January 29, 2007, 08:45:41 AM »

Well...I guess I don't have to rush to get GSN on a digital package just yet...

Although I'm sad to see the 11PM 'Match Game' hour go (its a great alternative to the local news and the lame monologues from Leno and Letterman while I wait for Jimmy Kimmel to come on) that show can actually afford to air less episodes for a while. Four 'MG' episodes per day is a tall order for me even with a DVR. I never warmed up to Karn's personality-free hosting style and actually liked and watched Louie's 'Feud' when he hosted (so sue me!). I guess I might tune in once in a while when there's nothing on at 11PM. The only good that will come of Karn's version of 'Feud' airing again is a chance for the witty posters in this forum to once again come up with creative ways of inserting that 'I'm going to... double/triple the points' gag line he became infamous for around these parts.

GSN will preview the shows in its two-hour classic block March 3 from 8-10 p.m. (ET/PT).

I would maintain an attitude of total indifference if they weren't canning the Double Dare marathon in favor of this.

Did Fremantle offer these FF tapes to GSN on a freakin' library clearance sale or what?
