This just makes me wonder...what is Sony going to do now? They cancelled a show with decent ratings and bad demos for a couple of shows with (hopefully) decent demos and bad ratings. Do they suck it up and try to put Pyramid back on? Is that even an option now? There aren't any syndie game shows coming down the pike, but talk shows seem to be in the down part of its cycle. What's left? I don't think people could stand another court show. Frankly, I don't know how the market is supporting seven shows now (Judge Judy, Judge Joe Brown, The People's Court, Judge Mathis, Divorce Court, Judge Hatchett, Texas Justice).
I wonder if this might be the time to put Russian Roulette into the mix. They know that it can get a decent audience from it's run on GSN. Competition is down. Maybe if they stick it with Pyramid and it's loyal audience they could have something. The only thing that might worry them would be the budget. RR gave away more money than any other GSN Original of the time, by far.
