Baggage Getting Syndicated?

[DoItRockapella]

So the Cash Cab reruns appear to be finally reaching local stations January 10, and now BuzzerBlog is saying that the next game show to get a syndication deal might be GSN's Baggage.

Reruns? New episodes? Anybody know?

I'm not so sure Baggage has enough episodes for syndication, unless it's weekends. Aren't Cash Cab's reruns going to air daily?

Well they have 65 episodes this season plus what, 40 from season 1? Plus it wouldn't be too difficult to make episodes quickly...I'm wondering if it's actually a MyNetwork TV thing- BB noticed it on that station...

So instead of the possibility of another game in syndication, you're rooting against the idea. Would you rather it be replaced by court and talk shows. I'm not fond of a few of the shows on, but I do like that games are back compared to 15 years ago.

As opposed to this thing that really sulllies the definition of a "game show"? Honestly, yeah, I would. At least those don't reflect badly on our genre.

The game is certainly not all that much, and I prefer the idea of the Dating Game paradigm being turned on its head by having some actual conversation topics out in play as opposed to the prefabricated questions that the chooser would ask.

I've only seen it a handful of times, and I don't make it a point to watch, but you're seeing something I didn't.

Fair enough. I think the whole thing with the "baggage" is trashy tabloid-esque crap, but YMMV.

I'd prefer that the contestant was actually able to say something positive and just let it be, as opposed to judging someone based on whether he has forty thousand comic books or a woman who only shaves her legs in months with an R in them.

For me, I think that Ultra Quiz/Singled Out would rule:
"All the women who would watch The Bachelor instead of Jeopardy? Sit down!"

Now that every female has taken a seat, your host has to tap dance for the rest of the show. ;-)

My girlfriend says "hi."

/granted, she'd never subject herself to Jenny McCarthy, if that's where you were going with that

And hello to her.  I haven't had the level of success you have when it comes to Jeopardy! and females.

And your solution is?

Eh - couldn't you say that - as Travis did - that this is a bit more Dating Game/Newlywed Game salaciousness that fits more of the times?  Don't get me wrong - there are times I wished that Catch 21 or another game was getting the push but OTOH it's not a bad show.  Besides, I'd rather watch Baggage than the actual Jerry Springer show.

Yes, well. I found the girl who actually *likes* my game-showiness. Her sister is already married. Sorry, fellas.
