... just give it two or three more months, and even the most hardcore GSN fans will start thinking either.....

a.) "Is WML STILL on?"
b.) "Haven't they shown this already?"
c.) "Why didn't GSN retire WML back in September while they had the chance?"
d.) All of the above

Well, obviously YOU'VE seen every episode of WML. Good!
Instead of moaning and groaning because WML is on
everynight, why not be a little more considerate of the
WML'ers who HAVEN'T seen these episodes? ... not everone
is as old as Methuselah, you know.

And Beat The Clock, which I know is a favorite of yours stays in the picture, albeit just on weekends, but at least it's staying.

**Lately, that's the only B&W show I watch/tape on there.**

Goodee - Goodee gumdrops!

What I'm getting at is, if the rest of you start getting bored with WML, don't say that I told you so. Not EVERYONE has short memories and/or attention spans.

And what *I'm* getting at is THIS.  Not everybody derives excitement from
just SITTING and WATCHING a game show. Some like to "play along." And I feel WML offers FAR more "play along" than BTC.

Now, if you enjoy watching paint dry, then BTC is for you!

But pardon me. I forgot I was talking to a brain surgeon. You better go
scrub up - don't wanna keep the patient waiting! Hurry!

TICK TOCK... (no pun intended) - "it's time to beat the... "

That's why he went out of his way to bash the Houston Chronicle's long story on the network. And yes, he's still angry over Boden, as Game Show Man's GSC account confirmed. [/quote]
 Have you got a link to that?

The money quote from GameShowMan's account:

"After the Smarty-Pants Quiz, Steve Beverly (pictured at left) gave his "State of the Games Address," a fiery, almost sermon-like speech, in which Beverly explained what he believed the reasons for the lack of traditional game shows were, why Pyramid got whacked, condemned Sony for dumping Bob Boden from GSN (here, here), further exclaimed his disdain for "reality television," proclaimed the coming of "the era of the casino game" and exclaimed a bit of hope for the future as Ken Jennings continues his reign of terror on Jeopardy!"

This one (okay, very long) sentence should be covered by fair use because the poster put a link to the account on this board. I can well believe the "fiery, almost sermon-like" description.

Actually, I meant the Houston Chronicle-bashing.

His swipe at the Chronicle story was in the "Game Show Grapevine" section of his web page. It seems to have scrolled off now.

He sniffed that we should expect (apparently some nefarious forces) to "push" for more "upbeat" stories on GSN like the Chronicle article. He then bashed the idea that the network was trying to offer something for everybody, as the article described, by wishing "everybody" didn't include KvS fans.

EDIT: Found the exact quote on the GSN board: "The Houston Chronicle ran an extensive story on GSN and its current remake. Expect to see a push for more upbeat stories on how the network is offering 'something for everybody'....One supremely wishes that something for everybody did not include those who find Kenny vs. Spenny amusing."
