jjman920, yes it is inexcusable. GSN has never done this crap before. You should give a kitty what they leased. And they do need to explain a damn thing.
Quack quack quack.

And upon further review: Quack.

And you just destroyed what little chance you had of ever being respected on this board. Move along now.

The hell with that, why do I have to give them my kitty? What'd she ever do to them?

New PDFs have been released. GSN only leased 50 episodes for both shows.

Why only 50? Why couldn't it have been at least 200?
Oh my, what a horrendous tragedy.

I'll get the International Court of Justice on this, this Game Show Human Rights Violation must be dealt with.

Expect a press conference from the president shorty on this crisis.

So that's what Obama meant when he said, "I will not play that game".

Oh...okay....


Besides, there's a good chance this is all GSN is ever gonna for years and years to come. Even if ratings are the best, chances are they'll just keep showing the same damn first 50 over and over again to please only average casual viewers. I hate average casual viewers.
I love to jump to conclusions as much as the next person (how else would I get my exercise?), but can you at least wait until they do it again before you fly off the cliff? I mean, just when you think GSN might be stale and you have them figured out, they went out and leased something they had never leased before. No one saw that coming. Making proclimations about what GSN will do after they just showcased how they can be surprising is more baffaling logic than a two-sided Rubik's Cube.

I'll have some of this. You can have some of this.

Me: Of all of the game shows you've hosted besides Jeopardy!, like High Rollers or Classic Concentration, which is your favorite?

I nominate this for "Line of the Year". Really, you can't top a statement like this.

Your priorities are so out-of-whack, it's genuinely disturbing.

While I hate that networks cater to the lowest common denominator far too often, one has nothing to do with the other.

As for that first paragraph, 4/10.

It's amazing the histrionics generated by the business decisions of a mid-tier cable TV channel. You know something: For all of the criticism directed towards the original poster, I have to admit: I legitimately envy you. I would give anything to have a life so carefree that I could apparently devote all of my attention and time and passions towards what GSN is or is not leasing.  Because that's certainly the perception I (and I suspect others) get based on the frequency, duration, and intensity of your comments regarding the network.

I can't even imagine what it's like to have that little actual baggage in life demanding your attention or occupying your thought. I know I certainly don't have that luxury.

I've been quietly semi-retired from these boards after my behavior last week or so, which, I admit, was immature on my part (as was this. Actually 99% of my behavior here). Lately, I've been leaning to keeping more of a low profile on these boards lately. The only reason I'm still logged in is so that I can access some of the features here that I couldn't if I wasn't.

However, this totally unexpected news made me briefly come back and express my anger, my frustration, and my confusion.
