Oddly enough, when I first heard about the renewal, I figured this was just like a network deciding to order the full season of a scripted series.

/They\'re eight weeks short, though

//Series 3, then, right?

Despite the DWTS ratings fiasco, they\'re still determined to try and get a dance oriented show on. Some execs just never learn.

If I were the executive for GSN and wanted to try a dance-oriented game show, I would consider picking up the rerun rights to the classic show Dance Fever. At least that was a fun show, and also had great musical talent on some or all of the episodes, and is definitely ten times better than Dancing with the Stars and GSN\'s newest dance-oriented show in development. I think it would be perfect for weekend airings in the late night hours.

Then again, music clearances may be an issue with Dance Fever. If I recall, Menudo performed one of their hits on Dance Fever at some point in the 80s, and if music clearances create a barrier for GSN, maybe Dance Fever may be more of a fit for VH-1 Classic.

I know I am not going to like the new dance-oriented GSN original that\'s in development because I am more interested in select retro shows and nothing from the 21st century. Guess I am stuck in \"retro mode\" it seems. However, I do watch 21st century episodes of TPIR, but that\'s only because the show was airing non-stop since 1972 and still airs to this day. If TPIR were to go off the air, and a revival was to occur a few years afterwards, I probably won\'t care for the revived version.

Dance Fever falls in the category of \"retro\" - definitely more interesting than Dancing with the Stars and any 21st century show.

Then again, it may be possible that my TV watching has gone down in the last decade in favor of - you guessed it - the \"mighty computer\".

Great. Are you able to wrap your little brain around the idea that there is a massive difference between this and \"is definitely ten times better than,\" particularly when one of the shows hasn\'t even aired yet?

If this holds true, and GSN airs 8 weeks of reruns, then season 2 should start November 19th.

So Season 2 is taping between August 9 and 16. I guess it all depends on how long they decide to take between seasons to hype it up, but yeah, that\'s a pretty good guess.

One thing I think would be cool would be if they brought back an outstanding contestant or two as chasers if it gets to a third or fourth season.

If the show gets popular, I\'ve got my money on GSN running a Holiday marathon with at least one promo referring to Mark as Scrooge.

I\'m not going to start a new thread for this, since this seems to be the go-to Chase thread until the premiere in just over an hour. If you are on GetGlue, there is a sticker for checking into The Chase. Good move by GSN. Offering a GetGlue sticker should get more eyeballs to watch the show tonight. (On second thought, maybe I should start a thread about GetGlue game show stickers...)

I have to say that I\'m surprised at how well GSN is promoting this. Yesterday, I heard a promo for The Chase at least twice while I was listening to Pandora. I really hope this does well.

An excellent thirty-second promo ran between the two maingame rounds of Jeopardy! on Monday night.

I did watch some of the clips provided much earlier in this thread, and I am intrigued as to how GSN pulls this off.

I saw the two eps last night. One of the best shows GSN has produced. The second show was definitely exciting. I\'m hooked and will record all the shows.

Is it wrong to say that The Chase is this decade\'s Russian Roulette? I say this because I\'ve enjoyed watching the double run (rerun) last night.

Huh? Can you please clarify this, because I interpreted it as \"the two shows are comparable because I enjoyed watching both of them,\" which would allow me to say that America\'s Got Howards and Hotties is this decade\'s House. So clearly I\'m not understanding you.

NickintheATL · « **Reply #118 on:** August 09, 2013, 01:42:35 PM »

I think what he means is exactly what I felt, that The Chase as a GSN original is just as awesome as Russian Roulette was for GSN in the last decade.

If that\'s the scale then I think that The Chase is the 2010s Friend or Foe. Or Wintuition.
