The next big acquisition for GSN?
« on: November 17, 2012, 10:09:28 AM »
Just curious. Looking like nothing big is planned for December except Black & White week and the Christmas/New Years' marathons, which could be picked up first for GSN going into early 2013?

Modern
*Who Wants to be a Millionaire (post 2010)
*Cash Cab
*Wheel of Fortune
*Don't Forget the Lyrics
*Syndie 5th Grader
*Wipeout

Classics
*Match Game
*Family Feud (Dawson)
*Tattletales
*The Newlywed Game (Eubanks)

Anything come to mind?

Wipeout is pretty much the province of trutv.  5th Grader a possibility.  The others are played out.  Maybe Brady LMAD to pair with Harvey Feud?

And if this isn't a sad commentary on the state of cable television today, I dunno what is.

If GSN were serious about 'Lyrics' I think they would have acted by now.

The only acquistion that would get my attention is the one that seems like it will never happen, which is Bob Barker 'Price Is Right'.

I've heard talk about how LMAD now falls under the same "CBS do not rerun" clause as TPIR does, with people noting the disappearance of Hall episodes once the Brady version began.  Any truth to that?

Let's Make a Deal disappeared from GSN almost exactly two years after they acquired it. During an era at the network where the network was letting leases expire left and right and spending as little money on older stuff as they could get away with.

The basic and simple explanations aren't always the most exciting, but they're right a surprising amount of the time.

At any rate, doesn't CBS own a stake in Price?  AFAIK, Deal is fully owned by FremantleMedia, with no ownership stake by CBS.

Brady LMAD would be a good choice. Actually, it'd be fun for them to pick up Brady LMAD and the original LMAD. Put the newer version on whenever and the older version on in the morning. It could work.

Other than that, with the crazy decisions they make, both good and bad, I couldn't guess what they'd pick up next.

GSN boards, so take it with a grain of a grain of salt.

Yeah, I figured. Hey, I read somewhere on the Internet that sick elderly people were going to be brought before panels who would decide if they lived or died. Any truth to that?

I think Brady's LMAD or TPIR with Barker or Carey would be a good acquisition. But yeah, the latter will most likely not happen.

Meredith's Millionaire  bombed on GSN, so I don't see them going for that.

Other possibilities are WOF,  Cash Cab  and syndie 5th Grader.  Foxworthy's a hot commodity at GSN right now.

My hunch, a return of Barris productions. It's been a while since Treasure Hunt and 3's a Crowd have aired.
