11:30pm - Chain Reaction                   (Lane) (replaces Improv)*
[size="1"]*Stunt programming has been airing here for the past month. Improv was still the regularly scheduled slot-holder
[/size]
Improv gets cut dramatically (from 3 airings per day to 1, with all weekend airings cut), the new Lingo gets cut even more dramatically (from 4 airings to 1), Love Triangle is gone aside from 4:30p weekends, and Deal or No Deal is back to being on 3x/day. (1p, 5p, 9p)...oh, and more Pyramid.

I must admit I'm surprised to see Whammy again.  I guess it must cost GSN less to air reruns of their own originals than it does some other library show.

Some people have said time and time again that if GSN loves Whammy! so much, why don't they revive it? In fact, weren't there plans to do a third season, but then they scrapped them due to the 2004 changeover?

Those people have a significant lack of understanding of network economics.

If they mean revive it instead of rerunning it, then I agree that they don't understand economics. If they mean revive Whammy instead of reviving some other show, then there's a valid point to be made.

I would venture to guess that GSN will get/has gotten more mileage from Woolery Lingo than Engvall Lingo.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

According to my DirecTv guide, John Davidson's version is finally, outside if youtube, getting the light of day.

Can we confirm this version actually aired?
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

Sorry, it's Dick Clark.  But it's still a welcome addition to the schedule.

Yeah, I was gonna say, do not put any stock in the DirecTV guide (or any guide, really) having any correct information for GSN programming beyond the title of the show -- and even then, maybe not. For whatever reason, the listings services don't have accurate data for anything on GSN, so random info sometimes ends up being squirted out of the database.

Looks like a job for Classix!

If it's a game show or anything else where it is just the same thing day in, day out the entry is going to spit out whatever was in the database when the show was first added.

A lot of the entry of programming information into directory services whether it is ours, Tribune's or Zap2It's, most of it is entered without human involvement.  We either get an XML file directly (those are the people you love), a document that can be torn apart through intelligent means like Excel (those are the people you tolerate), a document that has to be somewhat manhandled like a PDF (those are the people you grumble about) or a poorly worded e-mail that has to be manually entered (those are the people you want to kill).

The only thing that gets much human attention at all are network schedules, major cable channels, infomercials that pay for their title to be listed, most affiliates and Video on Demand (since those can become refund issues for your customer).  Everything else is considered secondary.
