The pile-on at the GSN schedule board continues over the network using Dancing With the Stars so much on weekends. I added a few more notes...Really wish Alex Davis would just post the schedule pdfs he gets from GSN instead of dribbling the news out on Facebook. I know he likes the Facebook traffic, but the pdfs would attract traffic to the main BuzzerBlog site, after all.
Blaming [GSN programming veep] Amy Davis for this schedule is silly. The Dancing With the Stars acquisition had to be in the works long before she ever took the programming job. Funny how she gets all the abuse around here while [GSN President] David Goldhill skates, even with the most hardcore older-is-better posters. Anybody who thinks Goldhill isn't responsible for the Dancing acquisition and scheduling is incredibly naive. The network is staking its future on this (by GSN standards) very expensive show. This is an executive decision from the highest level at GSN, folks.
As for Bob Boden, he took the now defunct Fox Reality job after leaving GSN. Strange how some posters around here now look back on him fondly. He used to get ripped for putting too many originals on the network instead of old stuff, then got ripped for taking a job at a (gasp!) reality network. Of course, Boden and Rich Cronin kept GSN afloat and turned the network profitable after the previous administration almost sank the ship. Boden most recently worked at the Hasbro, er, the Hub.
