Well, then Jimmy, I guess Jeopardy will be pulled from the next schedule, right?

To be quite honest, it's hard to imagine any sort of channel which shows classic game shows not wanting to air the #1 game show in syndication history, which so many people enjoy.  I, for one, loved watching classic "Wheel" episodes on GSN before they reran that 1989 season ad nauseum.  It's fun to see how Pat and Vanna looked in their early years, how the game has progressed since, and, when they used to show it, the shopping round.  It's also a hoot to see people spin $750 and hear the crowd go wild!  :)

When I talk about GSN with my friends who haven't seen it and I ask them what game shows they think should be on it, the first three they say are, "The Price is Right," "Wheel of Fortune," and "Jeopardy!"  These were the first three that came to my mind as well before I started watching GSN, and, even now, it's hard to imagine GSN without WOF on it.  Long story short:  I think that it would be in GSN's interest to air some classic WOF episodes again; it's not only one of the most popular game shows EVER, but it's usually among the first ones most people think of when listing classic game shows.  Let's be honest:  What makes more sense to air, WOF or some show which barely lasted 13 weeks with some guy no one knows but us (don't get me wrong, though; I love Bill Rafferty and BB '87!)?

And, to Jimmy, since you don't want to see game shows that are on other channels, I guess I can safely rule you out in terms of wanting classic TPIR episodes returning to GSN, right?  :)

Well, as long as TPIR is on CBS, it really doesn't need to be on GSN.  What GSN needs is exclusive game show programming.

What does it say about a show when even Rod Charlebois won't appear on camera?

Just because most people can't NAME five game shows is no reason to pander to a crappy one.

Blake didn't need Rod to bounce things off of. He's a master of the game and can carry the load alone. Geoff, however, needed help and the guy with the derby wasn't available.

If you're still going to focus on game shows, it doesn't hurt for the channel that's focused on game shows to air the most well-known titles in the genre--and that does include "Wheel" and "J!"

On the other hand, since said channel is trying to be known as more than just a game show channel, and considering the limitations on access to the shows currently in place, perhaps the fact that "Wheel" isn't on GSN's current schedule isn't such a bad thing.
