GSN promo for DWTS

(Sorry, I didn't write this down verbatim.) They say something close to, "It's a good game show, even without the bells and whistles." They show footage of the show with some game show sound effects thrown in. I love the fact that the first effect is the clock from Pyramid.
Protecting idiots from themselves just leads to more idiots.

I saw this for the first time last week when Dawson Feud went to the first break. I heard the Pyramid Clock, I think I heard THE Losing Horns, and some buzzers, and an arcade wheel sound (If you go to Dave & Busters, it is basically the sound you hear when the light goes around that huge (and addicting) Spin-N-Win! game.)

When I heard the announcer say it is "a great game show without the bells and whistles," I wanted to break my television, cancel my extra package for this channel, and just walk out my house. However, I just walked out for a moment, thinking, "Why GSN? WHY?" I could a long time with this subject; but not now.

I do plan do do a video with this promo to show what GSN is doing now.

That channel ain't right.

^ I won't be able to break my television, because I canceled my GSN subscription before I moved out.

If your current gig doesn't work out you could at least become a guard.

Is nothing safe from these arrows?

It is wrong.

Reality TV is NOT welcome to GSN. Never has been. Never will be. There's no excuse to defend GSN's decision to acquire this show.

They had a good thing going, and it was ruined forever in 2009-2010. Dropping GSN was one of the best things I ever did. I've been much happier than ever before.

Doesn't help that Reality TV is all a lie. It is NOT really real.

I assure you, if the profit margin on it is greater than what they were making with whatever was in the slot before it, there is ABSOLUTELY an "excuse to defend" that decision.

You apparently chose to vote with your wallet, which is absolutely what you should do.

Does this mean you gave GSN a cease to exist order?

Here's a question pointed at GSL87: You know in your heart of hearts that there's a sure-fire money winner for your company. In order to make the sure-fire product work you kinda have to shift what your company does or sells, or something. Do you take the no-question-about-it profit that's coming to you, or cling to your principles and outdated branding just because?
