Let's play make-a-schedule

The GSN Schedule board is happily at work fixing things for better numbers. I couldn't resist a try myself...

Other poster:
5:00PM Power of 10
6:00PM Newlywed Game
6:30PM Baggage
7:00PM Deal or No Deal
8:00PM Improv-a-Ganza
8:30PM Love Triangle
9:00PM Family Feud
9:30PM Family Feud
10:00PM - Midnight rerun of TNG, Baggage, Love Triangle, and Improv.

I don't know how long Power of 10 can last at 5:00. Its numbers are soft and getting softer, down to 263K on Thursday. With so few episodes, how low will it go under such ridiculous rerun abuse? Maybe it's time to bring back Alfonso and Carrie Ann, or syndie Deal or No Deal.

I agree with putting Jerry back at 6:30 and Howie back at 7:00. I would move the Feud duo back to 8:00, the Sherri/Jerry repeats back to 9:00 and Drew/Wendy to 10:00.

I dunno about 11:00. Don't want to rerun-abuse Howie too much. Maybe Regis Millionaire? Why not, GSN is hardly using it now and the show usually gets respectable numbers. So my idea...

5:00PM Catch 21
5:30PM Syndie Deal or Carrie Ann's 1 vs. 100
6:00PM Newlywed Game
6:30PM Baggage
7:00PM Network Deal or No Deal
8:00PM Karn Family Feud
8:30PM O'Hurley Family Feud
9:00PM Newlywed Game
9:30PM Baggage
10:00PM Improv-a-Ganza
10:30PM Love Triangle
11:00PM Regis Millionaire

In other words, I would have gone gentle on the old schedule and just put the new shows at 10:00. They probably belong in a later slot, anyway. I'd also forget about Power of 10 except maybe for a weekend slot, much like the similar short run of Million Dollar Password.

It's important to remember that GSN's new 5:00PM-12:00AM schedule isn't a complete bust, with an okay 308K average on Thursday. But that average was mostly due to old soldiers like Sherri and O'Hurley. Why not put them back to where they had success in the past?
