Last Month & Recently in Game shows In Review

We start off with The American Bible Challenge and Beat The Chefs coming sometime in August 2012. War of the Rose Sisters had a casting call. Not real sure if it's still going but, Click Here for the Info.

Also, The week of June 11 GSN is making some schedule changes. They already made some earlier, so I will mention those as well.

8:00am - Family Feud (Dawson)
9:00am - Password Plus
10:00am - The $100,000 Pyramid
11:30am - Chain Reaction
12:00pm - Jeopardy!
4:00pm - Catch 21 (June 11)
4:30pm - Catch 21
5:00pm - Family Feud (O'Hurley)
5:30pm - Family Feud (Karn)
6:00pm - Family Feud (Harvey)
6:30pm - Family Feud (Harvey)

Take Me Out and The Choice didn't do so well on the premiere night. Take Me Out with George Lopez scored 2.1/4 rating, with 3.3 million viewers. The night improved a bit for The Choice at 9:00PM EST with Cat Deeley increased to a 2.7/4 rating and 4.2 million viewers.
-------------------------
The Price is Right debut a new game called "Double Cross". ------------------------------ Also, Richard Dawson passed away last Saturday, June 2 and I have some videos for you. First is Richard meets Gretchen. Second is the 1994 Premiere: Last but not least, the "September" episode.

 Other than the Bullseye round, which is ridiculous, the rest of the game isn't bad. It's almost like someone changed a rule on me, because first the bankroll was $2,500 and with the second family it was $5,000. And, what I didn't like was with the first family, all they got was $4,000. I wouldn't be ungrateful or anything, but that's just a thing I don't like about the Bullseye round. They should have just offered maybe $10,000, $15,000, or $20,000 like in the Family Feud nowadays instead of this bullseye crap.

I also had a problem with the 15 second time limit in the original version. Because, I felt that wasn't enough time, but IMHO, the original version seemed a bit easier to try to get all 5 answers through, although I prefer the 20 second time limit more on the current version. So, IMO, there were some flaws in all versions of the Feud. Also, I have a problem with the Sudden Death thing on today's versions because, I liked it when the game just went on with no sudden death stuff. Like with Dawson/Combs versions.

All in all, I do like all versions of the Feud, except Louie Anderson's version, which I vaguely saw. This version is very good, aside from the bullseye and I wish GSN would find a prime time spot for this to air on a weekend maybe.

Rest In Peace, Richard Dawson!

One year ago on June 6, 2011, Bill Engvall Lingo premiered on GSN. And nothing changed now. GSN still runs the same 40 episodes, when they should renew it because it still does decent ratings. Also in April it was 1 year since Love Triangle and Improv-A-Ganza premiered on GSN. They got canned eventually but those didn't do much for GSN.
