GAME SHOW NETWORK (GSN)

SWEET — Tue, 29 Dec 2020 09:12:18 GMT

Thank goodness Verizon brought back GSN since I've been watching it a lot lately except for Family Feud with Steve Harvey. I cannot stand to watch him on any show for some reason.

The shows are all repeats now i.e., America Says and Catch 21 and all of the others but I've never seen them before so that's fine with me. I tried to watch The Chase a few times with Brooke Burns but can live without that one. Master Minds that she hosts is just okay too.

The one with Rob Belushi is just silly.

On 1/18, they are replacing Catch 21 with People Puzzler, based on People magazine's crossword puzzle. I will try to watch that one but it is always during dinner time.

The game show host that I cannot watch is Anthony Anderson ... he turns my stomach & is just a loud mouth jerk & to top it off he has his “mama” on the show!!!! ..... I wish they would replace him!!!!

I don't have GSN, but do receive BUZZR, the "vintage game show network." It's good, with shows from the 70's and 80's.

As for Steve Harvey, I pass on any show he's on.

Hosting Family Feud is about the only thing I sometimes watch that Steve Harvey is involved with. I don't watch talk shows so I am not very familiar with the job he does on his talk show. When I've seen him acting in scripted programs or as a stand-up comic I come away with the opinion of he's ok, but not one who would be a must-see for me.

@ValuSkr

I also have BUZZR and have been watching it for 5 years now but I'm so tired of MG and Sale of The Century and all of the others since they only have a number of shows and they are all repeated over and over again. I do watch Supermarket Sweep on weekends. I stopped watching Password too.

I wish they never took off the black and white versions of To Tell The Truth, What's My Line and I've Got A Secret. The Price Is Right with Bill Cullen is on Saturdays at 10:30 a.m. but I think I've seen all of those too.

I too love GSN. Not a fan of Rob Belushi at all and I don't like The Chase. The Beast guy is arrogant and I just cannot deal.

My favorites are America Says, Family Feud, and Master MInds.

I love GSN--especially Steve Harvey.

We're all different, aren't we?

I don't mind Anthony Anderson, but I never really liked To Tell the Truth. But I agree about mama lol

I like Common Sense but don't like Joey Fatone as the host.

Who is this Belushi guy? Is he the host of Get a Clue? I would probably like that show, but it's on at the same time as something else I watch.

I didn't know they were replacing Catch 21 with People Puzzler but I am anxious to see that one for sure. Thanks for that info

I agree about Steve Harvey....I used to watch Family Fued until he got louder and his fake laughs...he also seems to be the expert on men and matching couples up...for real? a big NO on that one....GSN also does a marathon of Family Fued every Sunday, wish they would change that....annoying is also the host with Master Minds she is screaming through the whole show, again annoying...Get a Clue host is also screaming throughout the show ....I do watch all of the other shows...America Says...Common Knowledge...Cash Cab....Divided

I don't know much about Steve Harvey and didn't realize he hosted this until I caught a few minutes as my tv was on that channel and he's actually pretty funny.

I didn't think anyone could be any better than Richard Dawson, but he has his own spin.

Vintage Match Game (73-79 version) is fun to watch now. So much of it went over my head when I watched this on afternoons as a teen.

You can find this program on YouTube:

@heart of savino

I agree about the show America Says. One of my favorites. I looked up John Michael Higgins and I really thought he was older than 57 for some reason.

I got tired of watching Cash Cab when it was on another network so stopped watching it. They did an updated version on TBS this year.

I had a feeling that Rob Belushi was Jim Belushi's son and I was correct.

I liked when they showed the vintage commercials, too.

Don't understand why they repeat the same episodes over and over. How expensive can it be for them to obtain and air some diferent ones that haven't been seen in the last five years.

I think I read on the BUZZR FB page that they only have a certain amount of shows that they digitized or that were available. Not sure exactly.

With all of the old game shows out there, you'd think that Buzzr would have more variety.

Every time I see Steve Harvey's face, I change the channel.

@deeva

They only own certain shows and that's why there's not a lot of variety on BUZZR. It's Freemantle and they show it at the end of every show.

I'm with you when I see Steve Harvey's face.

There are the old black and white shows of What's my line and To Tell the Truth. I think they come on every morning (BUZZR) at 9 o'clock.

I liked GSN when they ran the old game shows, but all these new versions don't interest me. Heck, I didn't even like MG 79---too new. lol

I enjoy most of the shows on BUZZR, especially Tattletales. Most of the married couples ended up getting divorced....I always google. haha

@Lucky Charm

I guess that's where they moved them too since I'm too busy reading in the a.m. to watch. Also, probably overnight too.

I remember watching the newer Card Sharks on GSN and the newer MG too.

The CS that BUZZR shows at 4:30 pm is the older one and also they used to have the Jim Perry one on which I never liked as much.

As for TT, that was one show I never watched even growing up even though it had my favorite host on -- Bert Convy. Never liked the newer versions of Password either w/him or Allen Ludden. I think they do show the Allen Ludden b&w on BUZZR at 2:00 pm or so. Not sure.
