[quote name=\'CaseyAbell\' date=\'Jan 5 2005, 01:59 PM\']We're not talking about CBS prime time here. There's no risk of losing a large (or maybe even measurable) audience. For shows already licensed and converted, there's no additional cost. What would be the harm in a little more varied menu?

Still, I feel that contiunity; not a varied lineup is the best way for any network; not just GSN.  If you were to run "Now You See It" and "Family Challenge" on Monday night..and immediatly run "Fantasy" and "H²" the next; you run the risk of alienating and confusing your viewers.

I don't know...both TV Land and Nick at Nite have run "vertivision" blocks in the past and at least TV Land still does it to this day.  I guess they would have been axed by now if they produced negative results.

Nothing in life is certain, except cliches. But Nielsen Media Research probably wouldn't detect a dramatic decline in GSN's 3:00 AM numbers - assuming they can detect any numbers - if the network ran five different shows Monday through Friday instead of Name's the Same every day. In other words, there's really no risk, and it would ease some of the complaints from hardcores like us that GSN doesn't use enough of their vault.

At 3:00 in the AM? Dude, if there's a place to experiment, it's 3:00 in the freakin' AM. Quick, what does your UPN affiliate run at 3:00AM? Right, I have no idea what mine does either.

That's not fair. No one knows what their UPN affiliate runs at 8:00 PM, let alone 3:00 AM. :)

Looking at TV Guide and my onscreen guide, it appears that Tattletales doesn't start to air until Tuesday morning.  I guess we will have to see which day it starts.

Well, in real time, it's Tuesday morning, but by GSN's schedule, it's still late Monday night.

Please let's get one thing straight:

In terms of the schedule, you can look at it two ways:

The one beginning with infomercials (6AM-6AM)
or the one beginng with that crap or "Card Sharks" (9AM-9AM).  In either case, 3AM is "Late Day/Overnight".  So, Tuesday 3AM is "Late Monday", no matter what your TV Guide says.

I also can't imagine there would be a whole lot for GSN to lose by testing during the 9 AM slot.....unless there are parts of the country where people are obsessed with Star Search........=)

They could move the MG7x block to 9-10AM and use the 2-3AM block to experiment, too.

GSN could run finger-painting contests at 3:00 AM, and the numbers would tumble from 0.0 to 0.0. This lost-in-dreamland hour is strictly for hardcore tapers. So why not give them a few more shows to tape?

I'd run different shows every day at 3:00 and a five/two of two other shows at 3:30. The lineup would change at least every couple months. This would make no difference in the (nonexistent) numbers, of course, but it might get some of the complaints off the net.

Also, I wouldn't be religious about B&W. Color oldies would get a shot.

The Perf is saying it'll be a week with jockey Bill(Willie) Shoemaker and his sopuse on it. The week is being shown to coincide with the launch of American Dream Derby next week. It'll be another test to see if the Perf actually gets something right.

That makes sense. BTW re: Dream Derby, I'm predicting the cheering blonde chick in the promos will win and the tearful brunette will lose.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.
