A faux tweet notes GSN's acquisition of Steve Harvey's Family Feud. I posted about the significant pickup on the GSN Schedule board...GSN sent me the revised pdf for the week of March 26-April 1. It's on the blog. Harvey Feud gets the usual five-hour marathon on Wednesday March 28. He's not on the pdf anywhere else, but who knows what will happen? The marathon is three hours of first-runs, then a two-hour repeat of the first four shows.
I've been advocating a pickup of Harvey Feud for a while, so I can't complain about the move. Steve is frankly not my favorite host, but the numbers don't lie. He's revived the show's appeal and earned a lot of better timeslots. Maybe this means GSN might be interested in other recent game shows that have shown an ability to attract an audience. I've talked about a few of them already.
Meanwhile, Douglas Pucci has posted the February 27-March 4 week of GSN viewer numbers on his blog. My comments from the Schedule board...
Other poster: Oh wow, Dancing With the Stars is improving. This is awful.
Yeah, DWTS did decent on Saturday night but not spectacular. Baggage has overstayed its welcome, so the Harvey Feud marathon on Wednesday is no surprise. The week was very forgettable for GSN in general: 275K/213K viewership averages prime time/total day.
