This is awesome news! I wonder which Jeopardy season they'll be showing.

Probably the same one they were showing when they took it off. I can't fathom GSN spending the money to lease the show only to turn around and only air it in one of the least-watched time slots of the week. Though I'd love to be wrong.

More likely than not, it will be a recent season. According to supersaver87 on Golden-Road.net, in addition, supposedly, a casual viewer would find recent episodes easier to play along with than episodes from say 1985 for example.

Now what was their package last time- Season 20, KenJen from 21, the UTOC, David Madden's run, and Season 22?

Just Season 22. The stuff from late season 20, early season 21, and UTOC were just one-time thing. About a month before the show got yanked outright, they went from the S22 Finale back to the S22 Premiere*[size="1"]

The Jeopardy run is starting with Show #4855., the episode immediately following the last episode aired a year and a half ago.

I'm not really interested in seeing the recent seasons of the show on GSN, especially considering that I haven't watched GSN in over a year.

There's still a good chunk of late 1980s/early 1990s episodes of the show that have yet to be rerun on GSN. They've never shown seasons 4-8, and given GSN nowadays, I don't expect to see them anytime soon.

New schedule PDFs went up over at Buzzer today. Among the scheduling curiosities over the coming weeks:

*Baggage marathon on August 21st...I'll try to contain my excitement.

*On August 28th, GSN is digging out the three "Play it Back" specials hosted by Caroline Rhea aired in 2008. Each one focuses on a different decade of the genre, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Surprised to see this one dug up again.

*Marathon of the current version of Newlywed Game on Labor Day. Meh.

*On 9/25, GSN presents the annual Dog Park Superstars dog show. They signed a multi-year deal for this....event....last year, and so it's back, to the requests of dozens.

*[url="http://sonofthebronx.thevoiceoftv.com/2011/08/08/gsn-ratings-for-its-8am-3am-lineup-august-1-2011/"]Despite delivering ratings considered hilarious by even the flimsiest standards,[/url] Improv-a-Ganza continues to get programmed thrice daily for at least the next month. More than just about anything else the network's done over recent years, I'd love to know the reasoning for why GSN persists with this one. (contractual obligations? doing it for the lulz?)

So...their top 5 shows are Karn Feud, Karn Feud, Chain Reaction, Karn Feud, and O'Hurley Feud?

Yep, I think we've hit bottom.

/seriously, Chain Reaction at 2:30pm outdraws Engvall in primetime?
//never would have guessed
///shows why I'm not a network exec

I have maintained for years that at the bottom of the cable barrel, the numbers are so small that the differences between them are virtually insignificant.  Remember when we used to hear about the "margin of error"?  The margin of error for this sliver of audience measurement is probably greater than the largest rating GSN usually gets, meaning that the whole thing is just a great big guess.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.
