OK, Canadians on the board, what's your opinion of this show, outside of the fact that it's not a game show at all?

And here's the page from the production company:

After seeing (even just the commercial) Foul Play, this is what the network is gonna peddle starting in March. Get used to it. Have they decided whether or not they are gonna keep some classics on the daytime schedule or not?

GROSS! (G-R-O-S-S)

Yeah, the show looks like crap. Apparently, I'm the only one who even bothered to rate the story......appropriately, a ONE.

Post by: vtown7 on January 09, 2004, 08:50:44 PM: Interesting that they've picked up "Kenny vs. Spenny"... it's okay, I guess... tolerable? Hmm.

Although I will say that they have a good production company behind them: they're the ones that make "SWAP TV" up here, the TV show I was on six weeks ago :)

Here's hoping they pick up my episode... it *is* game show related, after all! Not that I'm betting the farm on that.

BUT! They did get "The Mole"! Credit where credit is due. It would be nice to see overseas Moles too...

Cheers,

Ryan :)

Wow, so you rated a story poorly based on the fact that you didn't like the information contained therein?

All along the statements have been made that daytime will stay pretty much library game shows. The only initial major change, aside from the new logo and graphics package (graphics package hasn't been redone since April 1999, remember), is making 10 p.m. ET a checkerboard of reality shows--both original and acquired--instead of a strip. As Chris L! has already pointed out on his own site, 10 p.m. has become a major time slot for cable, especially for catching the audience that doesn't want to watch dramas or news on the broadcast network channels.

The 10-11PM EST hour on GSN is currently a second run of Lingo and MGPM(Mon-Fri), and Greed(Sat and Sun, though Sat's run is interspersed with Games Across America segments, which I presume will stay). Any word on what will air Sat and Sun on weekends at that point(I don't think many of us will miss Greed after 4.5 cycles of it)
