Classics Join GSN on Saturday Nights
« on: December 16, 2017, 10:17:40 AM »
Amy Introcaso-Davis departed GSN in September after overseeing programming for the last six years. With the recent promos calling Game Show Network by name again, and labeling it a place for "warmth and comfort" for the holidays, classic programming seems to be getting more of an acknowledgement under new hire Fran Shea.

Starting next Saturday, December 23, GSN is adding a four-hour block of '70s/'80s game shows to primetime. At 7 PM is an hour of Match Game, 8 PM sees Press Your Luck return to the schedule, Jim Perry's Card Sharks rejoins at 9 PM, and at 10 PM, for the first time on the regular schedule since 2009, Let's Make a Deal with Monty Hall will be seen.

Advance schedules show that this isn't a one-week event.

Saturday only.
Cool, thanks for the heads up.  Nice to see the classics get some love again on the network.

And interestingly it's a mix of syndicated and B&W episodes of both series.

So setting the DVR for the B&W block, I found that Match Game and Card Sharks are occupying 1-3AM nightly, right before the B&W block.

On 12/20 at 9PM, Zap2It lists an hour-long show called "Ridiculous Cash Bash!", tagged new. EDIT: that's the K-mart show, whoops.

I am SO taping LMaD.  I only set my DVR to keep 5 episodes at a time, so I missed most of the marathon...whoops!

Let’s Make A Deal has been removed and the entire block moved to 8-11pm.

This doesn't ruffle my feathers too much, as the episodes they had been airing were from the same 12 they had already licensed for the Monty Hall tribute a few months ago.

I was enjoying the weekly dose of vintage LMAD but there's enough out there that I'm OK with it. It would be neat if they rotated out the shows every thirteen weeks, or brought back either As Seen On Theater where they dropped in six different shows over the period, or just went to Game Show Saturday Night.

There's some shakeups coming to Saturday Night Classics. This coming Saturday sees Match Game extended from 8 to 10 PM, with Richard Dawson Family Feud from 10 to 11 PM. Saturday, February 10th currently has Match Game from 8 to 9 PM, Dawson Family Feud from 9 to 10 PM, and then Wally Bruner What's My Line and '72-'73 I've Got a Secret from 10 to 11 PM, with John Davidson listed as guest for Secret.
