IMHO, GSN could be better if they just stuck with the basics first: Wheel, J!, Match Game, Feud, and Millionaire. Then supplement that with TPiR, $ale, and Scrabble (if they can ever get the rights), then throw whatever crap else they want. People know about most of them (all but Sale and Scrabble, at least).

With the exception of Match Game, all those other shows are being aired right now on regular TV. (Crosswords is just Scrabble dulled down and I'm giving Temptation a wide berth.) Why would you watch something on cable when you can see it already on regular TV? I'd rather have exclusive product.

Actually, that makes me curious...if you asked random people whether they'd rather watch an episode of Wheel from 1988 or Card Sharks from 1988, which one do you think would get more votes? Or, more to the point, more eyeballs?
