The absurd conniption over Steve Harvey's Family Feud continues on the GSN board. I point out that the show will actually make GSN's schedule even less risque, according to the program ratings...Other poster: I seem to recall that there is an episode or two of Match Game that GSN doesn't air because of some of the material that is included in the show.
Yeah, there's a rumpus over some off-color terms used about homosexuality. I think it's ridiculous political correctness myself, but GSN has censored Match Game in the past.
In fact, by replacing Baggage with Harvey Feud on Wednesday night, GSN's schedule will turn significantly milder according to the program ratings. In one move the network will eliminate a big chunk (five hours) of its TV-14 material. The schedule will become even more overwhelmingly TV-G and TV-PG.
The GSN schedule for the week will now be 89% TV-G and TV-PG. Extremely mild by any reasonable standard. Nothing on the network is rated worse than TV-14. (By the way, I bet somebody at the network keeps track of these stats. The pdf schedules always list the program ratings.)
Pop quiz: which day on the network is all TV-G and TV-PG?
Answer: Friday. The squeakiest clean day on GSN. But Sunday, appropriately enough, comes close. It's 95% TV-G and TV-PG. The edgiest day on the new schedule will be Tuesday with the Newlywed Game marathon. It's "only" 70% TV-G and TV-PG.
