If it's Saturday morning, it must be time to chew over GSN's latest numbers. The week of March 25-April 1 was an April Fools joke for GSN, as I comment on the network's Internet board...
Really bad week with 257K/206K prime time/total day averages. Harvey Feud didn't even do as well as I guessed. Not one episode got into the 400Ks. But only one show on the whole network got one ep into the 400Ks, and just barely at that.
Other poster: I had a feeling that Harvey Feud was going to do well. It falls in line with what the GSN populace has been watching. New classics.
"New classics?" I guess they're newer than the old classics. Anyhoo, NewNeko will faint over this, but I agree with him! GSN should acquire very recent eps of successful game shows. Trouble is, even Harvey Feud didn't get blowout numbers. It certainly performed well by GSN standards, but not spectacularly. Still, recent game shows look to be the way to go. Now tell that to the folks planning the reality slate.
UPDATE: As noted in a faux tweet and the pdf schedules, GSN will dump Dancing With the Stars effective the April 16-22 week. That should improve the total viewer numbers, anyway. The schedule will now be all traditional "shiny floor" game shows, despite the upfront presentation of a bunch of reality shows in development.
