Title: Rerun abuse?
Post by: LetsGoYankees on November 22, 2012, 12:08:36 PM
Has anybody else but me noticed that a lot of shows that were abused earlier this year have either gotten limited (Lingo, Newlywed Game, Baggage, Match Game, Whammy!, Karn Feud), or new leases (Clark Pyramids)? It seems like the only show that is REALLY getting abused now is Harvey Feud's first season, and other than that Dog Eat Dog and Chain Reaction.

Watching Harvey Feud on GSN now I'm saying "Seen it!" Too much, with the 60 slots a week it has. Once we get the 11-12 eps which will probably be within the first quarter of 2013 GSN will be better.

I don't watch GSN that much, so if they repeat shows often, I don't notice.

Let's say GSN didn't lease a limited run of 200 episodes, give or take a bit. Would you still complain about rerun-abuse then?

Tell me...did they get the O'Hurley Bullseye season yet?  While the concept is not a popular one, it would still help to freshen things up a little.  But...I guess they only want to capitalize on the success of the current version's golden boy.

/Better still, I wouldn't mind seeing some Combs back in the mix.
//But they'd just bury it in daytime, probably.

It's actually getting annoying how much Harvey Feud has been abused. There are some episodes I've seen at least four times, and others that are fresh to me. It must depend on the cycle

You are aware your television has a number of other channels, right?

Forget that - you should just get out more. Fresh air is your friend.
