I remember reading a Cablevision mag from around December of '92, and it listed USA's 5 highest rated weekday shows for November 1992. Sadly, I recall what they were.

1. Murder, She Wrote 2.7
2. Quantum Leap 2.1
3. $25,000 Pyramid 1.7
4. Scrabble 1.6
5. Press Your Luck 1.5

As you can see, the game shows were well represented, and I remember seeing that they were still doing solidly when USA pulled the plug on them in 1995, because the man who took over for president Kay Koplovitz wanted to put an "edge" (read: younger demos) into USA. Free 4 All and Quicksilver's failures also hastened their demise.

I think the debut of GSN hastened the demise of USA's block as well.  Why have a part-time game show channel when there's another one doing it full time?
