TV Network

The Resume

    (December 1, 1994- )
    Owned by Liberty Media and Sony Pictures Entertainment
    Formerly known as 'Game Show Network' (1994-2004)
    Shows include 'Wheel of Fortune,' 'Jeopardy,' 'Blockbusters,' 'Lingo,' 'Match Game,' 'Russian Roulette,' 'Super Decades,' 'Pyramid,' 'Family Feud,' 'Press Your Luck,' 'Cram,' and 'Friend or Foe'

Why GSN - Game Show Network might be annoying:

    To appeal to a younger demographic, they changed the name of the network to 'GSN.'
    They also replaced traditional game shows with poker shows and reruns of bad reality shows like 'Average Joe.'
    The changes did not go over well, so the network went back to showing mostly traditional game shows.
    They chose Todd Newton over Peter Tomarken to host a remake of 'Press Your Luck.'
    Most of their early original game shows gave away really low cash prizes (usually around $300).
    They made a critically panned 'Newlywed Game' ripoff called 'Burt Luddin's Love Buffet.'
    They made a terrible dating reality show hosted by Evan Marriott.
    There was a year-long period where they lost the rights to air most of the classic Goodson-Todmon shows.
    As a result, they were forced to show really lame game shows like 'Juvenile Jury' and 'The Diamond Head Game.'

Why GSN - Game Show Network might not be annoying:

    They air game shows from every decade from the 50's to the 2000's.
    It has provided has-beens like Alan Thicke and Bob Eubanks with work.
    They have made new versions of classic game shows like 'Press Your Luck' and 'I've Got a Secret.'
    Any time a famous game show host dies, they air a marathon of shows hosted by that particular host as a tribute.
    They aired the forbidden Michael Larson episode of 'Press Your Luck' for the first time in nearly 20 years.
