TVLand dips their toe into game shows
« on: September 11, 2014, 01:28:52 PM »
Checked out TVLand via a tweet from Buzzerblog; sure enough, Family Feud with Mr. Harvey will begin running on their network beginning September 29th at 8/7c.

It's not the first time.  Remember their Ultimate Fan Search?

Maybe this'll encourage GSN to clear their schedule up for other programming.....
There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: Religion, politics, and the proper wrapping of microphone cables.

Other programming like what?
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

Like Family Feud with a host other than Steve Harvey.

Not happening.

You realize when you say this that nobody and I mean NOBODY puts any stock in it, right? You are completely disreputable at this point.

Wasn't there a significant reduction in the amount of Karn episodes airing? Pretty sure that's the reason for such a large departure.

Crap, I didn't even notice that.

Yeah, citing YOUR OWN BLOG as evidence to back up your statement? That's the mark of a true arsehole.

But, in true LGY style, he'll completely ignore this and keep posting crap from his blog....Much like someone else who hops up and down in his chair when his name is mentioned, I'm sure LGY hops up and down in his chair with glee that he posted excepts from his blog here.

Just saw a promo that Harvey Feud will also be airing soon on BET.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

I admire the audacity of the sales force.  Selling the same product to THREE different cable channels, while the show is still being offered in first-run syndication, takes a special kind of smooth.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

True, but at a very early time: 8am EST, starting on the 29th as well.

Kinda makes you wish you had a source for several dozen synonyms for "cojones". Oh, wait!

With his talk show and double run of Feud, it's possible for someone to see him on network television 15 times a week.

When you factor in GSN, and now TVLand and BET reruns of Feud, in addition to his old sitcom being rerun on Centric (think BET 2), his amount of appearances on TV start to reach astronomical totals.
Me: Of all of the game shows you've hosted besides Jeopardy!, like High Rollers or Classic Concentration, which is your favorite?
