Title: GSN movies
Post by: The Pyramids on February 02, 2006, 09:06:58 PM
Any thoughts if GSN were to get into the tv movie business as its been suggested on tvgamshows.net?

I find all of the suggestions unlikely. Behind the scenes movies about  'TPIR' & 'Feud', both of which have been discussed here, would get my curiosity going. Still chances for anything,   for better or worse, seem to be to me slim and none.

All I saw was "tvgameshows.net" and I didn't need to see anymore.

I wouldn't pay much attention to it.

I was half-expecting them to haul out "The Running Man" with the Governor of Ca. and Richard Dawson as a companion piece to "Anything to Win."

If they did do TV-Movies, I think they would lean towards Lifetime-style dramas revolving around women-in-Jeopardy!

And they could throw in a Hogan's Heroes block just because Richard Dawson was in it. Actually, I'd prefer HH to much of the stuff on that channel these days anyhow.

There's no one who would rather see a movie about Bill Cullen than I, and even I know it's not going to happen.

I've said many times that something a lot more doable would be Biography-style profiles of noable individuals and shows, both recent and historical.  Of course, if they really wanted to do the "historical", they might want to get on it while we still have some of those figures left.
