Major late September schedule changes

[Chief-O]

Does anyone know which version of CS it will be? Perry, Eubanks or Rafferty?

Just checked my channel guide---Perry.

U-Verse's channel guide deserves a wet noodle. I did check it again to make sure I didn't misread it---yep, it said Perry!

My mind is blown about All-Star Secrets and the Babble pilot; I think weaklink75 nailed it re. being a pilot/obscure series special/block/gimmick/dealie. I'd have to wonder as well how many Secrets eps. are still in existence. Plus with Babble being a pilot, you'd have to wonder what they'd run in the same slot the following week!

New-to-GSN eps. of SOTC and PYL [not to mention 25KP] will be treats indeed.....and I was just getting used to seeing the 1988 NBC daytime eps of SOTC again! Any $ale is good $ale, far as I'm concerned.......same with PYL!

Because I know there are people on here who know this......I'm happy to see the syndie MG eps on GSN again, but I can't help wondering - when were they on GSN last as part of the schedule?

Sometime in 2009, I believe.

[Winkfan]

I just realized something. This will be the first time that Richard Dawson will not be seen on GSN at all; either on MG or FF.

Cordially,

Looking through old weekly PDFs, March 31, 2010 was the last time Syndie MG was seen anywhere.

And only on weekends, right?

According to Casey Abell (yeah I know) on another board that on the e-mail he received with the PDF schedules, All Star Secrets and Babble are the beginning of the Time Capsule Initiative.  So it sounds like as long as the ratings are enough, little known game shows and/or game show rarities are going to be a weekly thing.

Here's the link to that thread so that you can see his mention of it for yourself.  And for entertainment value, you can also see where he says GSN started this because he trashed Skin Wars on his blog...

No, remember they changed the daytime lineup the very next day on April 1 and it was one of the times that GSN changed their daytime lineup mid-week.

That is actually pretty cool. I'm a sucker for the rare stuff...reminds me of when TV Land used to show more obscure shows when they first started. But from a business standpoint, once a week makes more sense.

Considering the Dark Period (you know, that few years with no G-T shows at all), I'm going to guess this isn't even remotely close to accurate.

[Vahan_Nisanian]

Chris, does Family Feud '94 ring any bells?

[clemon79]

Chris, does Family Feud '94 ring any bells?

Was it on during the entirety of the Dark Period? If so I'll happily eat my words (though I still question the veracity of the original comment). Show your work.

[jimlangefan]

He's right actually.   Family Feud '94 and TPIR had separate leases from the rest of the G-T library. Here's the schedule that started on October 13th,  1997.  I found this on the old alt.tv.game-shows forum and took out commentary.

[clemon79]

He's right actually.

Actually, that schedule shows conclusively that he's not right and might, once again, have done well to do his homework before shooting off his damn fool mouth (especially in a snotty manner) about it. That weekday lineup, unless he was judging Gong Show or appearing on Pyramid *a lot* (hint: he wasn't) doesn't have so much of a hint of Dawson in it.

[jimlangefan]

But the weekend schedule does show that Family Feud with Dawson was still airing.   The schedule shows and proves that Family Feud '94 and Price were on separate leases from the rest of the G-T library.  I posted the whole schedule to show both of those points.
