IDIOTEST AND BEN GLIEB, RELIVES CHRIS HARRISON'S WORST NIGHTMARE.

CAN GSN'S DIVIDED, UNITE AMERICA AGAIN?

EXPOSE: SHOULD GSN PULL A CW, AND CATER TO MORE MALE FANS?

The CW network is seeing a renaissance of creativity and decent  ratings ,since the UPN and  CW merged the best of their former networks. Under Mark Pedowitz who succeeded Dawn Ostroff who turned the  female driven channel,in a sea of female networks (Oxygen,OWN, Lifetime,WE, & ABC Family/Freeform,which had become the new WB) into the DC Superhero network. He also been able to continue to extend a hand to the ladies with the horror show that will never die, Supernatural, Jane the Virgin and white soul sister series, Crazy EX Girlfriend. Should the competition based GSN, which has pathetically chased female demo for years, create more guy centric games and save the network, like the CW did?

GSN time slot's are 70% filled w/ Steve Harvey's Family Feud, thanks to binge watching its the ONLY show that averages about 500,000+ viewers all day long. The recent episodes, give the channel an allure of relevance.

Currently president Amy Introcaso-Davis, keeps trying to run the channel ,like its the Oxygen network and only wants to launch women based shows, yet failed to be female compassionate and give away parting gifts to the losers on her shows. She even cancelled: Emmy nominated quiz marathon game (hosted by a woman!) The Chase & a less dark version of often reran series Chain Reaction, which still gets good numbers that exceed or nearly matched the Feud runs.

The self produced hits now, only include Idiot Test (the smartest show ever produced on the channel) and reality show clone Skin Wars.Wars success is troubling, since the network spent almost 20 years to find a reality show hit. Once they did, they just tried to clone Wars,with Steampunk-ed and a spin-off show called Skin Wars:Fresh Paint. Even worse for GSN, Wars numbers are cooling with woman, and men tiring of the non-sexualized female models being painted on this show, not being showcased like a Deal or No Deal model. This is the height of Davis's reign, other than being smart enough to buy the Feud reruns, in the first place.

The network hoped to find more comedy based,knock-offs, that succeed like Feud.This lead to failed clones like, Mind Of A Man with Empire alum Dee Ray Davis or Top Ten Fact Stacker, Winsanity with former Scrubs star Donald Faison.


Putting a man back in charge proves, "that Wu Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with" and launch games that appeal to men without running off the ladies,like in the glory days of Head TV programmer Bob Boden. His reign lead to a Renaissance of gaming. It included critical acclaimed and popular games: quizzers Russian Roulette, Friend or Foe and the rerun abused Whammy!,the all new Press Your Luck w/ Emmy winner Todd Newton. Three shows that need to be relaunched, pronto.

The new guy can launch the Feud clones properly with outright looking, like their doing that. This could lead to buying reruns of Wipeout- the hilarious Double Dare style game show, hosted by John Henson & Anderson. Also, another show in this vein, Oh Sit!, basically an indoor knockoff of Wipeout, but as big money musical chairs. The new guy can also launch sex based puzzle games in untried territory, like late night or bring back the prime time interactive games (phone/web) that kept viewers glued to see if they won, during the commercials.

Scum-bag elect Donald J. Trump said, about Hilary Clinton.....on the Epic Rap Battles of History. "We need a STRONG male leader" who deliver games that's appealing to men that satisfy woman- without making stupid,youth chasing programming decisions- that alienate everyone (like Trump himself) and as the Cinema Sins YouTube site deduced, ".....Reasons?!"

EXPOSE: WHERE THE HELL- ARE MY PARTING GIFTS,PAT !?

The great thing about losing on TV game shows-unlike Vegas-is that you still had something to show for it. Not just some cheap trinkets either, back in the day were talking about $500-$1,500 for failure. In America, "A nation of B and C students" according to Chris Rock, That's awesome!

All of the shows, big and small rewarded people with everything to Turtle Wax to A year's supply of Sunny D. Back then, you got almost too many gifts. The average show would give three to six prizes, depending on its budget. Of course, don't forget taking home- the home board or video game of the show. Back then, parting gifts were the biggest cliché in TV history.

Now, the great trope of TV game shows, "You leave with nothing!," as Weakest Link Anne Robinson would sadistically bellow. When modern games moved to prime time with $1 million+ grand prizes, the bottom fell out with shows beating their chests- about sending players home broke. It's like the minimum wage, was just ignored in order to create the living wage- which on a game show is ,the ability to quit with any money earned at that point or reach a guaranteed cash-in milestone level, a la Millionaire.

All facets of TV productions get paid, even the audience most times. Sometimes, they have to sit there and be enthused up to 12 hrs. at times. The players can't be given a T-shirt or a case of Pepsi. This is yet another reason- Reality shows, are the sweatshop industry of TV.

This started back in "the dark days" of cable TV, back in the nineties. When a lot of Fly-by-night games came on and went off the air, after a season. Most could barely afford their grand prize (usually a vacation), let alone gave consolation gifts.

That forced a cheapness, that affected hit shows, at the time. Wheel, Hollywood Squares and Jeopardy converted- to a still cool $1,000 parting prize. The Price Is Right cut gifts from six to three, then to two (after Drew Carey became host.) After its 40th anniversary, they were gone- though many players claimed, the show still gave away a few prize and a gift basket, from a allegedly huge prize warehouse.

Things are better now- Fortune and Jeopardy still give $1000,Millionaire used to  (under the Super Mix format.) These days, its easy to get to the first cash lock-in level, unless you're a moron.

Family Feud used to give away, six to seven losing prizes- under the Richard Dawson and Ray Combs eras. Then, nothing....until the final J. Peterman season- when families got a Feud: Decades Wii home game. Recently, Family Feud started giving away a $500 prepaid credit card, after giving away oxygen for years, under the highly profitable Steve Harvey.

However, nearly all GSN shows, newcomer Celebrity Name Game don't do this and Hollywood Game Night, sometimes? Even then, its a gag gift- like a $400 BMW steering wheel ONLY. Funny, but meanly cheap.

"It's time to start....RUNNING!," back to a great, liberal TV tradition. As the great social comic- George Carlin stated, "People just want a trophy or trinket" while "competing on TV" to feel they accomplished something with their lives.


   

HAIL,THE FINAL NIGHT OF THE AWESOME CHASE USA!

JOURNAL OF A STRUGGLING ARTIST- TV AUDIENCE WORK FOR GSN'S LINGO.
(NEW SEGMENT.)

F$#@ Them at that three-lettered company!!

The white guy with a brownish, chicken head Mohawk seemed nice enough. Then, he begin the usually LYING,biogotd tirades I write here TOO often,not just by him. A pimp dressed black man and usually fat arsed and ignorantly cute, Latina friend joined him by the dirty pimp saying " I always thought you were one," and the dumpy Latina trying make a Loser Sign, forgetting that now means you a fan of Glee specifically. I've NEVER BEEN rude or unprofessional to anyone there, unlike them. Still, I must commend the work of a decent British Fellow, who appears to try to do right by every one there (at other shows, he wasn't there today.)

Getting back to the alleged, white bigot who signed on Two WHITE girls, because they white, right in front in front of us. They had just arrived and got in, while the rest of us had been there an hour at the point. He declared he didn't care because
"I already HAVE a job," as he smirked with one of the confirmed audience members, who too was real late.

Personally, I think I'VE been barred- since I wrote about similar hate mongering and bullying about going back to 2008's American Gladiators.

Lastly, one of the men-a Lingo staffer- said there was one chair left and picked the one WHITE guy ,who wasn't business casually dressed and gave the last seat. Everyone else left,were black folk- properly attired, as per their dress code request.

I don't care about being liked by stupid idiots, but I don't deserve this level of constant disrespect or bullying anymore, not being apart of their clique, none of us do.

EXPOSE: The Real Reason- GSN's Lingo- went off the air,for almost two years!

There was a power struggle between then-new co-host (Sexy, but plastic Stacy Hayes) and famed U.S. game show host Chuck Woolery (Scrabble, Love Connection.) After the British bombshell arrived, she quickly and shamelessly took over most of Chuck's on-air duties, as "judge" on the show. This left almost nothing for the popular taskmaster to do, but read off the scores. Plus, their off camera interactions were said to be non-existent or icy at best.

At that point- Chuck threatened to quit, unless of his duties were returned to him and Stacy's role was diminished. Since GSN (Game Show Network) loves Woolery's work, as they run all his old shows and they get a fairy decent number-sided with him and forced all his demands on the show's producer Phil Gurin (Weakest Link.) The gap, in between season 3 and 4 was to allow time for Staci's contract to expire. With Hayes officially fired, Chuck allowed for "Bygones" and happily signed up for more seasons as Lingo's MC.

It is even said that Chuck helped to, hand pick his popular new co-host Shandi Finnessey (a highly, likeable, giggling fan girl with an odd crush on Chuck.) Lingo remains GSN's highest rated and long running show in the network's history.

Still, Stacy may not done with the word game yet. Rumors are starting to persist, that Hayes may host- an all new version of Lingo in the U.K., produced by Gurin. The UK show's first season may use, the current American set and film after the U.S. version completes its fifth season, of its wildly successful new jackpot format.
