Sunday morning GSN chatter

Just posted a blog entry about the upcoming upfront (sorry) from GSN. Douglas Pucci has also posted the latest GSN viewer numbers, for March 25-31. A little chitchat ensues on the GSN board...

Other poster: Is The Impostor really like TTTT or more like NBC's Identity? Or is it some hybrid?

Contestants have to figure out which member of a family is an impostor, after staying with them for 48 hours. You can check the casting call.

Other poster: Didn't GSN come up with some Pawn Shop show featuring sisters?

That was War of the Rose Sisters, about a couple sisters in Toledo. There were a few stories about it in early 2012 (see the link) but nothing's been heard since. Instead we got Family Trade, which is expiring in a hurry.

A different poster: Comcast program guide says Family Trade airs at 9AM EST Saturday mornings, and they're right. No sign of P+, for which GSN supposedly picked up 65 episodes from 1981-82 with Tom Kennedy.

Family Trade might be gone even sooner than the current pdfs show [the week of April 22-28]. The Saturday morning showings on March 30 got the two worst numbers of the week for GSN. The first half-hour somehow got a zero rating. That ain't good. Even the demos are pretty bad, except for the nonexistent demo. Family Trade does great with nonexistent people.
