GSN to revive Split Second
BillCullen1:
The one show currently on GSN where people buzz in before a question is finished is Catch 21. But those episodes are over 10 years old. Most of the time though, they come up with the correct answer.
Also, if Higgins is hosting Split Second, it means America Says is out of production.
Wow, 3,000 posts. Bartender . . .

Hey, if they wanna stage a broken version of the game, they can do that. I haven't been GSN's target audience for a solid decade anyhow.

What makes you think that? Knowing GSN, after banging out 65 episodes of one show, they'll flip the sets over and shoot 65 eps. of the other all within a month.

Apparently, the decision has been made that "Split Second" will benefit from the same sort of structure. I'll still have a soft spot for the more dynamic and strategic original version.

I think there's distance between Jeopardy and the stodgy pace of the Monty version. Remaining optimistic.
