WarioBarker:
From the most recent Buzzr newsletter.
Notably, one question asks if you'd like to see the following shows on Buzzr, with the below shows mentioned (anything in (parentheses) was part of the listed name):
American Gladiators
Wild & Crazy Kids
Trivial Pursuit
The Weakest Link
Love Connection
Scrabble
Tic Tac Dough
Hole in the Wall
Double Dare (Alex Trebek version)
Lingo
To Tell The Truth
Shop 'Til You Drop
Wordplay
Scattergories
Celebrity Name Game
The Price is Right (80s version)
Joker's Wild
Hollywood Squares (90s version)
Ian Wallis:
These kinds of surveys are interesting...it's also puzzling to figure out just what they mean. There are a lot of shows on there that aren't (as far as we know) in the Freemantle archives.
It's notable that rarer shows like Celebrity Sweepstakes aren't on the list. I guess that's no longer an option (maybe it never really was).
It was posted somewhere a while ago that GameTV was trying to get rights to Joker's Wild. It's interesting to see that and its sister show pop up on this list. Maybe Sony's considering leasing more of their library...they've had some success with the '90s Newlywed Game.
Some of the others I could do without...and I've never considered Love Connection to be a game show.

...so what is airing on the channel currently at 8PM EST daily...and at 4AM.....???
Shop 'til You Drop would make a nice pair with Sweep again. I just wish 70's Cross-Wits could see the light of day again.

The Barker era or the Kennedy treatment? How much of the latter did GSN air back in the day?

I'm not sure, but from what I've seen online it seems they aired a good chunk of it, including the first taped episode (March 1985) and at least some of the February '86 tapings (the last two taping days were February 26 and March 6).
