Title: 90's MG on GSN!
Post by: gsfan85 on March 07, 2004, 01:41:28 PM

I noticed on the new GSN site that it says 90's Match Game for 1:30PM.  I'm surprised nobody has commented on this.  I think it's awesome!

 What you are seeing, I think, is representative of the majority of this group's opinion of MG90 as a whole....not offensive enough to merit complaining about, but nothing remarkable to distinguish it, either, Just "meh".

It's something different.   All else is thereby irrelevant.  It dosen't matter if something being aired, at this point, is good, so long as it's different.  Right?  I mean, they could just throw Ruckus on the schedule, and we'd all cheer, right?   Hey, it IS something different.  :)

FWIW:  MG '90 isn't bad, it just isn't GREAT.

 I agreed with you up until this last sentence. ;)

Do we know when this will take effect?  I didn't get to see this site before it was snatched down.

 I've said it before and I'll say it again: Ruckus is best enjoyed at around 2 or 3 in the morning, following the ingestion of massive amounts of caffeinated beverages and Cool Ranch Doritos.

Any other time, forget it. :-)

I, for one, am excited about this, if only because I haven't seen MG90 yet, and yes, it is something different for me!

 Well, count me in as possibly part of the small minority that likes this show.

It still boils down to the fact that when it was originally on, neither ABC station I had at the time (WPVI-6 in Philly, WNEP-16 in Scranton) elected to carry it as they had noon news, and not making room for it anywhere else on the schedule.

I had someone who had WHTM-27 from Harrisburg tape it for me for the first week or two...And I still enjoy watching the show..

 Not that I had any problem with MG90, but I was looking forward to the week of MG78 right before the Star Wheel, when one of Vicki Lawrence's answers doesn't just merit the common buzzer, but apparently merited the klaxon (would've loved to seen that episode).  And it was only 40 some days away.  Dang.

Doug -- soon to celebrate 400 posts

I said this on the Big Board, but a couple admins put messages on the GSN Originals board that the new site wasn't finalized yet. So I wouldn't take the schedule that was posted on the new site as necessarily accurate.

Judging by the way things are going, you're sure this isn't the 1998 MG???? (I know, I know....heads over to the TTD90 Room with hung head)
