This set off predictable whines on the GSN board about Harvey Feud getting used too much. If the show dated from before 1990, nary a complaint would be heard on the board. But we'll leave that aside for the moment. What's really strange is that folks apparently think cable networks should refrain from riding their biggest ratings-getters for all they're worth.
What else is GSN or any other cabler supposed to do? When a show starts monopolizing a network's top rating slots, of course the show's gonna get more timeslots. And more timeslots after that.
There's a reason that History runs Pawn Stars ragged. The show happens to be splattered all over the top cable ratings. Nobody should expect GSN to show any more restraint in its use of Harvey Feud.
