Schedule this

As always, lots of chatter follows a GSN schedule overhaul. From the properly named GSN Schedule board...

Other poster: I agree with giving O'Hurley another slot.

Yeah, they might have put up another Karn-O'Hurley Family Feud hour at 4:00 PM. That seems to be the pet solution for any schedule problem. But this is clearly just a stopgap schedule until Drew Carey arrives on March 28, so it really doesn't make much difference. In a few weeks the schedule gets scrambled big time, followed by even more shuffling when Love Triangle turns up in April and Bill Engvall's Lingo in June. And who knows what else will happen over the new few months?

Another poster: When I first read the topic, I thought that they replaced Carie Ann with Richard Karn as the host of the GSN 1vs100.

The idea of Karn replacing Carrie Ann on 1 vs. 100 is not completely out of left field. GSN tried something similar with the second season of Bingo America, as Alex Davis mentioned on BuzzerBlog. This time, though, I think Bob Saget would be the replacement if a second season of 1 vs. 100 ever materializes.

Yet another poster: Glad to hear Catch 21 getting a slightly better timeslot. I hope the hiatus ends soon.

Alfonso Ribeiro's blackjack epic was in first-runs until very recently, and he's still got a three-a-day. No guarantee he'll get another season, but GSN seems to have money right now and his numbers have perked up. Catch 21's not my favorite but at least it's a game show, unlike Drew's Whose Line remake.

Still another poster: I think Card Sharks and Match Game prove that classics can draw very well.

Sorry to beat a dead horse, but if any part of GSN's schedule is headed for a squeeze as all the new material hits over the next few months, it's the morning pre-1990 shows. I wonder if their 18-49 and 25-54 demos are even detectable. The originals occasionally suffer the embarrassment of rounded-to-zero ratings in the demos, and I don't want to think about the pre-1990 numbers. I just hope the older shows can hang onto what they've got.

I also hope that I've Got a Secret returns to 3:30 AM one of these days. But then I hope for all sorts of crazy things.
