Dream Schedules

People on the GSN Forums make their own schedules in a thread. Some people, however, think that the purpose of the thread is to make a schedule that you think would give good ratings. I say, it's your dream schedule. I recently suggested ideas for the prime time block.

Sunday (Million Dollar Sunday):
7:00pm - Deal or No Deal
8:00pm - 1 vs. 100
9:00pm - Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
10:00pm - Million Dollar Password
11:00pm - Who Wants to be a Millionaire? (Philbin)

Monday (Original Mondays):

7:00pm - Lingo (Woolery)
7:30pm - Lingo (Woolery)
8:00pm - Friend or Foe?
8:30pm - Russian Roulette
9:00pm - Inquizition
9:30pm - Hollywood Showdown
10:00pm - Whammy!
10:30pm - Chain Reaction
11:00pm - That's The Question
11:30pm - Lingo (Engvall)
(I ran out of ideas at 11pm hour. Any ideas would be cool)

Tuesdays (Trivia Tuesdays):

7:00pm - Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
8:00pm - Who Wants to be a Millionaire? (Vieira)
8:30pm - Who Wants to be a Millionaire? (Vieira)
9:00pm - Greed
10:00pm - Weakest Link
11:00pm - Jeopardy!
11:30pm - Jeopardy!
(May be too much Millionaire but I added Greed and Weakest Link because, if you notice, GSN doesn't really air many trivia games. Although those are from the 90's)

Wednesday (Dating Wednesdays):

6-9pm - The Newlywed Game
9-12am - Baggage

Thursdays (Card Game Thursdays):

7:00pm - Catch 21
7:30pm - Catch 21
8:00pm - Card Sharks (Perry)
8:30pm - Card Sharks (Perry)
9:00pm - High Stakes Poker
10:00pm - World Poker Tour
(Any ideas there would be nice since GSN don't air many card games anymore and these are ones I could think of.)

Friday (Flashback Friday):

7:00pm - Super Password
7:30pm - Super Password
8:00pm - Match Game
8:30pm - Match Game
9:00pm - The $25,000 Pyramid'
9:30pm - The $25,000 Pyramid
10:00pm - Family Feud (Dawson)
10:30pm - Family Feud (Dawson)
11:00pm - Password Plus
11:30pm - Password Plus

Saturday (Survey Saturday starting at 8pm):

8:00pm - Family Feud (Harvey)
8:30pm - Family Feud (Harvey)
9:00pm - Family Feud (Karn)
9:30pm - Family Feud (Karn)
10:00pm - Family Feud (O'Hurley)
10:30pm - Family Feud (O'Hurley)
11:00pm - Family Feud (Dawson)
11:30pm - Family Feud (Dawson)

I think I basically used the whole schedule for every prime time block. That appeals to all viewers. The point is, the block scheduling has to go. I don't have a problem with the Family Feud block considering, the way I'm doing it it doesn't abuse each version, really. 


Poster #1: I think all those schedules are too much for GSN. I'm nearly happy with what they have now, minus Monday nights and Thursday nights, and a few daytime slots that I would change (like all of us would too) 

 Not necessarily my schedule, no offense jhshifris. I basically used everything GSN airs right now for those prime time schedules. I think that your schedule is too much for GSN though jhshifris but again, no offense.

Although GSN doesn't air some of the shows I have there like High Stakes Poker and World Poker Tour but , I assume they have rights to them still. Same on original Monday.

Poster #2: I'm sorry about that but GSN doesn't need poker again.

Well it used to do good, for your info. If GSN aired it like this, it could do well again. Just saying. I added those because that's Card Game Thursday. I wish people would stop judging schedules. These are suppose to be our dream schedules and people should respect that. Although I did say yours was too much jhshifris. Sorry about that and I understand that's your dream schedule for prime time.
Poster #2 (Cont.): No, actually, it's not. It's what GSN can consider showing instead of what they got now instead of some more rerun abuse. 

 Umm, it's not like GSN actually listens to us. I don't believe they listen to our comments here. Maybe about classics and their shows but not scheduling. I'm sorry.

Poster #3: People may get mad at me, but here's my updated schedule idea.

Don't let people make you mad. I say, it's your dream schedule. People don't like it, tough. Some people try schedules they think will get good ratings (like me), that's fine. But I say, it's your dream schedule.

Here's another try at a schedule from me:

Weekday:
8:00am - Family Feud (Dawson)
8:30am - Family Feud (Combs)
9:00am - Match Game (70's)
9:30am - Password Plus
10:00am - Card Sharks (Perry)
10:30am - The $25,000 Pyramid
11:00am - Super Password
11:30am - Match Game (70's)
12:00pm - The $100,000 Pyramid
12:30pm - Card Sharks (Eubanks)
1:00pm - Pyramid
1:30pm - Pyramid
2:00pm - Lingo (Woolery)
2:30pm - Lingo (Woolery)
Rest stays the same.

Weekends:

9:00am - Lingo (Woolery)
9:30am - Whammy!
10:00am - Chain Reaction
10:30am - Whammy!
11:00am - Match Game (Syn)
11:30am - Catch 21
12:00pm - Match Game PM
12:30pm - Card Sharks (Rafferty)
1:00pm - The $100,000 Pyramid
1:30pm - Pyramid
2:00pm - The $25,000 Pyramid
2:30pm - Pyramid
3:00pm - Family Feud (Karn)
3:30pm - Family Feud (O'Hurley)
4:00pm - The Newlywed Game (Shepherd)
4:30pm - The Newlywed Game (Shepherd)
5:00pm - Million Dollar Password
6:00pm - Deal or No Deal
7:00pm - Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
Rest stays the same.

It's a better looking weekend schedule than we have now, IMO.
Pyramid could do well on weekends as well, both versions. It would still be nice to bring back Card Sharks (Rafferty) on weekends, IMO.
