Lots of GSN schedule change news!

[PYLW]

However, it DOES come from Steve Beverly, so take it with a pinch of salt.
 
 Weekends:
 Anything to Win is being replaced for Child's Play with Bill Cullen and the return of Bill Rafferty's Card Sharks.
 
 That starts November 4th.
 
 Weekdays:
 Gone:
 WWTBAM at 5
 IGaS at 6:30
 
 IN:
 Super Password at 4:30 (Yes, an hour of Super Password!)
 Family Feud at 5-6 (Dawson, and Combs is back.)
 Weakest Link at 6:30 (Gray)

Sweet, "Child's Play" isn't that great of a game show, but it DOES mean more Bill Cullen on my freaking TV.

I work out Sunday mornings in the 9 am hour and have *sorely* missed having some game shows to watch.

Nice!  I was thinking just this morning, as I saw GSN come out of its infomercial block with an hour of Anything to Win, how they appeared to be putting off giving us a game show as long as they absolutely had to.  Seeing a Bill Cullen show help fill that hour is more than a nice alternative.

Very nice.

"Child's Play" is one of those shows I've always had a soft spot for....probably because it helped end 2+ years of sitcom reruns on CBS's daytime sked. That, and as Chri$ L! mentioned, the host of the show was also a factor, too.

Lets bring out the popular cliché...

'Millionaire' and 'Secret' deserve a rest. They are suffering from too much rerun abuse.

I think Curt Alliaume suggested 'Child's Play' in that same time slot not long ago.

Child's Play? I don't use this word very often, but ... w00t! (And I agree, it wasn't that great a show; I'm just glad to have more of Uncle Bill.)

Whenever Beverly reports about a schedule change, it's usually correct.  He's the one that does that, I just handle the news.  I'd take it for what it is.  

Should I be worried that IGAS moved out of its time slot and is just at 11:30PM again?  And thank GOD GSN got rid of one of the way overplayed Millionaire episodes.  Now if they could just get the rights to season 1 or 2 of Syndie Millionaire........

Additionally, it's nice to see that GSN considers short-lived shows for the weekend slots, as they'll take longer to cycle. "Child's Play" ran for one year. Arguably, the show that replaced it did a little better.

So when was the last time Child's Play was on the schedule?

1998?

[mbc793]

Child's Play? Now that's awesome, I've seen some clips of it on Game Show Gone Bananas, now I get to see the whole episode? Sweet! There is a God!! I'm also glad to see Grey's version of the Weakest Link, I thought it was bad for them to remove it during reruns of the 1st year.

I believe so...I remember it being the first G-T show to grace the schedule again after the Dark Period..4/18/98 at 8am (EST). I don't remember it lasting very long, either..

Any chance that GSN will consider "Now You See It" for one of these Ayem slots anytime soon?

Sure, they'll consider it.  Then they'll consider replacing it with CLICK after two weeks.
