What should fill Friday nights?
« on: December 22, 2012, 09:43:12 AM »
Because Improv isn't working.

Let's be realistic: 5th Grader, Minute to Win It, The Pyramid, more Feud, or classics again?

Cuz Pyramid did so well on Friday nights the first time.  If it succeeded, surely it would still be on during Friday nights...right?

I say extend the Press Your Luck lease by acquiring episodes 51-54 and air them ad nauseum every Friday night.

New low!!!!!!

Seriously, and this might be a tad unrealistic, but do a Feud marathon, but lease some Combs episodes, which haven't been seen in a while anywhere on the schedule?
I'm a pacifist, and even I would like to see a little more action.

Infomercials.

I didn't realize you had experience with that.

Though Friday night may not be the best place for them, I'd love to see the G-T panel shows back on the regular schedule.

No, this is.

John was doing that to make fun of Gameshowlover87, you nimrod.

An hour of classics would work - even without the Winston IGASes (I assume the ban is still on?), they can pair WML with whatever they have in their miscellaneous pile.  How long has it been since they've aired that one episode of Eye Guess that exists?

I notice Greed isn't on the schedule anywhere - how long has it been since that's been on?

(And if the possibility for "never before on GSN" shows exists, how hard would it be for GSN to get runs of "forgotten" shows like, say, The Chair, or Show Me The Money, or (Fox's) It's Your Chance of a Lifetime?  Then again, maybe I shouldn't give GSN any ideas, or we'd probably end up with Unan1mous, You Deserve It, and The Moment of Truth.)

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

Of the last 14 threads started on this subforum, you created 11 of them.

You tell me who is rambling.

To answer the original question posed, the syndie panel shows from the 70s and early 80s haven't aired in a while. GSN could air an hour each of WML (one ep each of Bruner and Blyden) and TTTT (one ep each of Moore and Robin Ward). How they do ratings wise is anybody's guess.
