Updated Game Show Saturday Night

[Jeremy Nelson]

This is what happens when you get people who just can't win the bonus round, then whine aftrerward. 5 in 60 seconds with a stop clock? How many friggin game shows, besides Scrabble, have a stop clock in the bonus round? This is ridiculous. 10 IN 90 SECONDS CAN BE DONE. Obviously, people who don't know a damn thing about game shows are running a game show network.

The only good thing coming out of this is that your bonus round jackpot does not depend on your main game score.

So, I take it you would blame CBS for "Pick a Number" and "Coming or Going" too, huh?

Only one could Hope and pray for the Cullen episodes!

I'd love for them to throw us a bone and show us some Blake Emmons or Geoff Edwards eps only because they have been rarely, if at all, seen.

GSN should have the rights to Edwards version, no?

GSN has the rights to it, yes, but that doesn't mean they have the tapes. A reliable source (Oh, God, there's THAT term...) tells me they got rid of their dubs when they decided they had no intention of putting it on the schedule. So, probably won't be the Edwards version.

And before anyone gets excited, the original tapes are probably still sitting somewhere in Quebec in storage.  It's just the DigiBeta dubs that got wiped,

And now on GSN's shows listing they have "The $100,000 Pyramid" listed for April 14th at 8pm. I really hope it is another season than the reran 86-87 season.

Interesting. I thought Pyramid would come back to the schedule, but didn't think it would be this soon.  Good to see it back.

Just to make certain we understand it right, it's not really back on the regular schedule. This is just a one-shot (or a four-shot) on Saturday, April 14th, yes? As was the case with the eight Treasure Hunt episodes run exactly six years ago that night.
Perhaps it'll be a 4-pack of Heather Davis episodes.

Remind me to lay in a supply of extra Kleenex as that date approaches.

[Joe Mello]

Heheheheh.  Lay.

It'll probably be 100K wins like they do with just about every Pyramid marathon

I predict: M.G. McCormick's win for the gazillionth time.

Would that that were true.

[game show guy]

Looks like we got a The Newlywed Game Marathon on the 21st of April, only one can hope its a different season then the one they're currently showing.

Well, from what we've found out, April 14th- 100K Pyramid, April 21- Newlywed Game, the month of April seems to be "Sony" Game Show Saturday Night, if you know what i mean. We do not know what will be airing on the 7th of April or the 28th, yet. Could GSN have done a one time lease and possibly leased TTD or TJW (both sony shows)? They could put jeopardy in for the 7th, but, i think we might get some surprises

Now, I could be wrong here, but why would GSN need to "lease out" TTD or Joker? I thought they owned it.

And two shows "owned" by Sony (here's a hint: They weren't owned by Sony from the beginning) is mere coincidence. It'd be quite silly to have a marathon of J!, and even if they did, it'd be the MDM that's been seen a million times.

The reason they would need to lease it out is because the shows are owned by Sony as apart of The B&E library. If they ever wanted to add them to the schedule they would only be able to lease 1 season, just like Newlywed Game, Jeopardy, and Pyramid.

Correct -- GSN used to have full access to Sony's libraries because back then, Sony was the sole owner of GSN.  Now it's jointly owned by Sony and Liberty, so as far as GSN is concerned, Sony is no different from Fremantle or any other company from whom it might want to lease shows.

If they ever wanted to add them to the schedule they would only be able to lease 1 season, just like Newlywed Game, Jeopardy, and Pyramid.

Actually, there's no rule that says that Sony can't lease more than one season at a time to GSN, and I can't imagine that Sony would refuse to take the money if GSN wanted to lease multiple seasons of any show.  GSN pays for only one season at a time because it costs less to do so and because most people don't notice the difference.
