History

The Dark Period (1997–1998)

The Dark Period is an unofficial nickname coined by the channel's internet fanbase referring to the period from October 11, 1997 - April 18, 1998, after GSN's Goodson-Todman library rights expired, with the exception of The Price Is Right and the 1994-1995 season of Family Feud, which were both on a separate contract.^[1] is the 284th day of the year (285th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

With the other Goodson-Todman shows gone, lesser-known Sony properties such as Juvenile Jury, The Diamond Head Game, the 1976 version of Break The Bank, and the Bill Cullen-hosted version of Chain Reaction (though not the Geoff Edwards-hosted version of this last game show) all found their ways onto the schedule. GSN also aired a kids' game show block at this time, highlighted by Jep! and Wheel of Fortune 2000—kids' adaptations of Wheel Of Fortune and Jeopardy! Some of the shows that premiered during the dark period remained on the schedule even after the Goodson-Todman shows returned. William Bill Lawrence Frances Cullen (February 18, 1920 – July 7, 1990), was an Emmy Award-winning American radio and television personality. ... Geoff Edwards is an American television actor, game show host and radio personality born on February 13, 1931 in Westfield, New Jersey. ...

Beginning January 1998, ostensibly to pay for the rights to get the Goodson-Todman library back, GSN gave away a few hours of its schedule to air paid programming in the early morning, a common practice among other basic cable channels, which practice GSN was still continuing as of the middle of March of 2008. The "Dark Period" began at the stroke of midnight on Saturday, October 11, 1997 with an episode of The Gong Show and officially ended at 8 AM on Saturday, April 18, 1998 with Goodson-Todman's Child's Play, which was programmed weekends at 10:30am as of mid-March 2008.

A new name and a new direction

In the summer of 2003, Game Show Network began airing GSN Video Games, the first program to air on GSN that had nothing to do with traditional game shows. Although the show--a repackaging of somewhat dated British video game review shows (mostly Gamer.tv)--was short-lived and considered a disaster, it was a sign of the network's change of format from Game Show Network's "all game shows, all the time" to what eventually became "GSN: The Network for Games." Year 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... GSN Video Games was a short-lived block of shows on television network GSN.

On March 15, 2004, at 10:00 p.m. ET, GSN stopped using the name "Game Show Network" on-air and introduced the tagline "The Network for Games," a move in line with the network expanding its programming to include the genre of reality television and various other competitions. (However, the entity's corporate name remained Game Show Network, LLC.) The newly renamed GSN also introduced the original series World Series of Blackjack, Celebrity Blackjack, Extreme Dodgeball, Poker Royale, and the short-lived Fake-a-Date, Vegas Weddings Unveiled and Ballbreakers. GSN also added reruns of The Mole, Average Joe, Arsenio Hall's Star Search, Kenny vs. Spenny, and Spy TV--all of which were eventually removed from the schedule (though Kenny vs. Spenny was picked up for new episodes by Comedy Central in 2007). Traditional game shows Win Ben Stein's Money and Street Smarts were also acquired around this time and aired in various time slots, though neither was regularly programmed as of mid-March 2008. is the 74th day of the year (75th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Blackjack and Poker Royale signified the beginnings of GSN's attempts to cash in on the TV poker-craze at the time. In 2006, GSN introduced High Stakes Poker, a poker show with a private-game format among professional players, and also programmed additional series of World Series of Blackjack and a spinoff, Celebrity Blackjack. One of the most popular shows from the initial TV poker boom, the World Poker Tour, was slated to move from the Travel Channel to GSN on March 24th, 2008.

Recent changes

After generally unsuccessful efforts at expanding its programming, GSN has largely returned to traditional studio-based game shows. On April 4, 2005 the network introduced a new daytime lineup featuring several older game shows that had not been seen on GSN for some time, including the two most recent versions of Password (Password Plus and Super Password), the 1990-91 version of To Tell The Truth, and the Bill Rafferty-hosted versions of two series, Blockbusters, and Card Sharks. Also in the spring of 2005, GSN acquired approximately 100 more episodes of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

Although the network has mostly abandoned reality programs, GSN acquired the rights to The Amazing Race in 2005 for a reported $50,000 per episode. The network first programmed the series extensively in prime time during the summer of 2005, then cut back the show’s exposure. (Reruns of The Amazing Race have left GSN for Fox Reality as of 2008.)

The network has run blocks of classic game shows on Saturday nights, and for the first few months of 2006 programmed back-to-back episodes of Match Game at 11:00 PM Eastern in a block billed as That '70s Hour (a pun on That '70s Show), which showed the clapperboard before each episode, including the original date of taping and production number, as well as Match Game trivia and brief clips of an interview with host Gene Rayburn produced shortly before his death. On July 18, 2006, the network began a special seven-week run of The 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time in the 10:00 PM hour, Tuesday through Thursday. In November 2006, GSN started a series of eight documentaries about game shows, beginning with a program on Match Game titled Match Game: Behind The Blanks. Other subjects included game show producer Chuck Barris, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, a "Top Ten" countdown of game show hosts, memorable game show moments, women who have featured prominently on game shows, celebrities and how they impacted game shows, and an insider's guide to winning on a TV game show. One particularly interesting subject was the installments of Press Your Luck in which Michael Larson won more than $100,000 in cash and prizes by memorizing the sequences of the board then used, which was the subject of Big Bucks: The "Press Your Luck" Scandal.

Outlook

Despite the forays into reality series, made-for-TV sports, and documentaries, GSN's programming has always remained mostly game shows. As the only U.S. cable/satellite network largely devoted to game shows for adults, GSN is a prototypical niche operation. It remains to be seen whether such a concentrated focus is commercially viable in the long run. Currently, GSN is available in slightly over half of all U.S. households; it also is available from most Canadian cable and satellite providers. The network's financial performance and household availability have improved in recent years, although it suffered setbacks in 2007 when major cable provider Comcast moved GSN from basic cable to digital packages in many markets. As of January 2008, GSN primetime(8-11pm) was placed at #47 of the top 50 cable companies, up from 50th in the previous survey.

In July 2007, GSN President Rich Cronin announced his departure from the network. In a statement he said: "I am honored to have led a great team of creative business people in pioneering interactive television games and in growing GSN so dramatically." During Cronin's six-year tenure, the network expanded its U.S. household availability from 31 million to 64 million.^[3] However, ratings have dropped steadily for the network since 2004.^[4] David Goldhill, former president of Universal Television Group, was announced at the end of July as Cronin's replacement, effective August 1.^[5] July 2007 is the seventh month of that year. ...

The Price Is Right, Goodson-Todman's longest-running game show, did not appear on GSN until December 1996. Episodes of TPIR that featured fur coats, or other animal-related prizes were not aired, following Bob Barker's animal-rights wishes; therefore, the show's GSN premiere was delayed almost two years in order to remove such episodes from the rotation. The show originally appeared on GSN in occasional preemptions of regularly scheduled series such as Match Game or Family Feud. Various versions of the show were broadcast, including those hosted by Barker, Bill Cullen and Tom Kennedy. In December 1996, TPIR began airing regularly on the schedule, with half-hour Barker eps in the morning and hour-long episodes in the afternoon and evening, Kennedy eps in late night, and Cullen eps a part of what was then billed as "Sentimental Sunday."

Controversies

GSN has raised the ire of some classic game show fans by cutting portions of the end-show credits from the shows it airs to allow for more promotions and commercials. These credits often contained mini-commercials, voiced over by the shows's announcers, for the "parting gifts" given to contestants, which could be free advertising for any of the products which might still exist. Occasionally GSN has left in free plugs, parts of credits or whole closing credits. GSN also uses time-compression technology, unofficially called "speed-ups" by viewers, that slightly speeds up the video and audio in their programs, mainly for the purpose of including more commercials in their broadcasts. Other basic cable channels also employ this practice.^[6] GSN has also been criticized for rerunning shows leased in a limited package or number of episodes (such as 450 episodes of Press Your Luck from 1984-1985 or a single season of Sony-owned game shows such as Jeopardy! or The Newlywed Game) too often, a practice dubbed "rerun abuse" by viewers. End Credits are the credits that are displayed at the ending of a movie. ... // Advert redirects here. ...
