Does that mean that a show in the HIGNFY vein wouldn't fit on GSN?
p.s. HIGNFY means Have I Got News For You [/quote]
I've said it before, I'll say it again. If you think your acronyms and abbreviations aren't going to be understood by people, DON'T USE THEM!
With that off my chest, I never meant to imply that a non-traditional show wouldn't work on GSN. (Wow, a triple negative, at least!) With self-contained episodes and no returning champions EVER, most of GSN's original programming is who-cares-who-wins. But most of the other shows at least focus on the game, and Funny Money doesn't really bother. Still, the show might very well work out for them, not everybody's as obsessive about the games as we are.
