Never been French Kissed

(March madness can only mean one thing: Buffalo Wild Wings. I love this, and they got a staff to give you drinks and food like chicken wings of any sauce while you watch sporting events, so head to a BWW nearest you.)

Family Feud put together a chain of slots from 1 to 12, but the razzies went to these.....

DED kicked it off first and after Pyramid came a double dose of Baggage and there was Match Game in between. After feud came a quadruple MOAM round out. There's the first period, Adele....um, Hilty?

Welcome back. Last week we said goodbye to Jim Lange, the first person to host the very first game show Chuck Barris ever created. That was the Dating Game. In it, 3 bachelors or bachelorettes interrogated questions from suitors in order to find a date. That formula stuck through 5 decades on TV. Other projects shown were Bullseye, a Barry-Enright series, the 1984 version of Name That Tune and more. After this he returned to radio and he was seen in an NBC special alongside legends Wink Martindale, Bob Eubanks and Ben Stein showcasing the outrageous moments in game show history. He was 81 years old. To honor him, they did a tribute on a game that made him a legend this week by showing Dating Game shows with celebrities that got their start like Tom Selleck and Michael Jackson all morning long. May he rest in peace.

On the bright side of things, Dreq Carey completed the trio of 2011 hosts by going on DWTS. Wendy Williams and Bill Engvall were the other 2,but both didn't win a mirrorball trophy. Can Drew break the curse? We'll see.

And it's the first of every month, so we have a new feature called......

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHwHiymSojk&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Carni-poll. Step right up and see what polls make fans think about the network in general Taken from the GSNN blogspot page, we answer your questions and rank 'em. First.....

"What is the best option for GSN to air against the Super Bowl?" (6 polled) *"Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? from 2012" (4, 67%) *"Dancing with the Stars from 2013" (2, 33%) *"The Newlywed Game, which airs now" (0%)

Fifth Grader should've taken it. They need it back. Trust me.

"Could Mind of a Man work on another network? (not GSN)" (36 polled) *"Absolutely" (4, 11%) *"It's worth a shot, may or may not succeed" (14, 38%) *"Never" (18, 50%)

I'm thinking MTV or BET should work as a platform for it.

"Do you want Brooke Burns to return to The Chase for a third season?" (37 polled) *"Yes" (36, 98%) *"No" (1, 2%)

Of course. Why not?

"Will Mark Labbett choose to return to The Chase for another season?" (39 polled) *"Yes" (39, 100%) *"No" (0%)

Duh.

"What do you think of block scheduling shortened by an hour to 8-11pm (ET)?" (26 polled) *"Smart" (19, 73%) *"Not smart" (7, 27%)

See kids. Watching GSN can be entertaining. Last one....

"Do you plan on watching Skin Wars on GSN This Summer?" (29 polled) *"Yes all eight episodes" (0%) *"An episode or two" (4, 13%) *"Not at all" (25, 87%)

To the 13% who want to see it, you deserve a selfie slap in the face.

(SONG STOPS)

On to the 2nd intermission presented by swagbucks.com. When you think The Dating Game, you think Herb Alpert. Here he is with a song that later got sampled by Biggie Smalls and Diddy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7O3eYJptTc&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Now the third period and we feature moments in the game show world we all live by. Here's a Dating Game with actor Vincent Price.

Overtime #7: Mindless Behavior

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhoEKp11yCI

VO: This is Overtime. More about the network you know & trust. Here now Pierre Kelly.

Hey kids. 2014 means it is a new year, so we have our first overtime of the year. This month: MOAM going downhill. Recently, the show went through a time change. Since its debut last month, the shoe crashed and burned in the ratings, so we have 5 Who's to the downfall.

1: Who came up with this host?
Deray Davis wanted it to be a good host, but he's acting like your buddy at the bar next to you. I'm guessing his show may be a future through his career.

2: Who came up with this talent?

Alonzo Bodden, Skylar Stone Toccara and more have all stopped by to help out the funny, but ir dragged out seconds of gameplay into the fold. Keep the jokes aside for one person, people.

3: Who reduced it to 2 shows a week?

Premiere week came and 4 shows was going to be a good week, but 2 shows was killing and dragging viewers to slip out of contention. Maybe 4 should've done it at all after the premiere week.

4: Who came up with the High/Five round?

The Men's High/Five round was the deciding factor and that made it pointless to watch. They should've dumped it for the VIP question worth more money to decide a winner. That would've made sense.

5: Who moved it to 10/9 central?

I don't know. Because they wanted it to make it more to the late night people than prime people. If it works, it'll turn things around, but it is too late now.

Kids, we are done with Overtime. Tune in next month for what GSN will have. Play on, playas.

Act Naturally

(A very short end to a short month means you still have time to order berries from Sherri's Berries. Lots to choose from including the new St. Patrick's day collection for next month. Berries.com is where you find it. Happy Strawberry hunting!)

VO: This is GSN The Know. The most informed and entertained blog in the United States of America. Now, from the WIlton-North building, here is the man about games, Pierre Kelly.




Me: Hi everyone. A cold reprieve to the week means winter isn't done without a cat fight. Come next month, everything will change. First period and Hilty will walk you through it.
http://www.qwizx.com/gssfx/usa/gtp-spaces.wav




Catch 21 snatched up the top spot and Feud took the silver and Pyramid settled on bronze. Feud went from 4-7 and DOND went to 8th parting the sea on 9 & 10. Now the dead walking.
http://www.qwizx.com/gssfx/usa/gtp-ding.wav



After a tie between Baggage and Match Game., MOAM had a triple decker sandwich between P+, Pyramid and Baggage with the latter filling in the last 2 spots. Time for Hilty to feed zombie food.
http://www.qwizx.com/gssfx/usa/it-catselect.wav


February is a lovely month, but GSN had a love-hate relationship this month and we give out the Yay
& Yawn.


The Yay: Chase dominates ratings. The Beast helps people crush pub quiz nobodies in his path. Season 3 coming. Expect more of it.


The Yawn: MOAM. Ratings going down fast? Move it to where newscasts and whatever else airs. And they're not even halfway to 40 just yet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcRt2eXiHX0


On the way: Tour woes for one GSN favorite and one more shortie to wrap up the month. I'll tell you about it after this.
(Song fades out)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXwptHtsqL4

(quick fade out)

and we bounce back with Family feud Live and the problems facing America and Canada. The Canadian leg cancelled shows because of one problem: Not enough people are selling well. As for us here, they're down to 2 locations: Minnesota and Rhode Island. You can go to familyfeudlive.com for tickets if you live there.


Very Classy!

Hey all you classic fans. We got a story about the Chuck Barris shows that he made it his own in the 20th century. The only Barris show left surviving: The Newlywed Game, of course.

Something Mindless?

Deray Davis talks about the engine that broke down, and I'm talking of course, about MOAM. But while MOAM crashed & burned, let's find out what else was on that week by the time it aired.

(switches channel)

Oh look, Ice dancing in Sochi....

(changes channel)

American Idol....

(changes channel)

Wahlburgers.....

(changes channel)

ANd basketball.

(switches back to me)

And we switch over to the 2nd period presented by swagbucks.com. One last time, Lindsey Stirling boys & girls.

3rd period set to go.


Body Language is 30 years ago, but it however, wasn't short lived. 35 years ago, it would go to Celebrity CHarades. That would be short-lived. The concept was this: Have stars act out longer phrases to win money for charity. Joining in was Jay Johnson & his dummy Squeaky from Soap. Although it changed openings, the theme remained the same. By the time it came back form breaks, a song that would later become NBC's shortie "Mindreaders" is heard. AMC revived it with Hilary Swank hosting the festivities, but that was before Walking Dead & Breaking Bad changed the way we watched the channel. It would've made Fein-Schwartz proud.

(Hey ladies, your man loves you, so love him back with Sherri's Berries. Here's a good deal for you: $20 for strawberries if you google the company right now if you mention my blog. That's all I know. berries.com for more. Hope I finally got that right after 2 weeks of not correcting it. On with the blog.)

VO: This is GSN The Know. The most informed and entertained blog in the United States of America. Now, from the WIlton-North building, here is the man about games, Pierre Kelly.

Me: Hello folks, it's your pilot Pierre Kelly navigating the ship on a preview to what would be spring for most of us. a few weeks of cold weather left to wonder what could GSN do for spring? We'll examine it as the weeks roll on. Right now, 2 weeks of February left and Hilty is here to give it a candy crush. Period 1, right now.

http://www.qwizx.com/gssfx/usa/gtp-spaces.wav
The Chase once again hit the top slot to end the 2nd season and Feud rankled in 2-4. DOND bounced up to 5, and after 2 Feud shows, Catch 21 rounded out the list. There's the sweet for you, what about the sour?

http://www.qwizx.com/gssfx/usa/gtp-ding.wav
Match Game kicked it off, DED was next, MOAM went ahead and The Pyramid was parted in between MOAM. Another Match game sandwiched Pyramid and more Mind rounded it out. There's the first period. Let's turn off the mixer.


http://www.qwizx.com/gssfx/usa/it-catselect.wav

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcRt2eXiHX0
Just ahead, more bad news for MOAM and another salute to a shortie. Please stay where you are.

(song fades out)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXwptHtsqL4

(quick fade out)

Back to the show and syndie DOND returns for the first time in about.....oh, 2 years, give or take. The run will last through 3/13 to 3/21 every single weekday at 3/2c.

Even more bad news for MOAM. The network took a chainsaw and slashed out to 20 slots. As for it's time slot, Feud will replace it and move it to 9pm central time. Here's hoping it'll get the WTH? award this year if they keep this up.

Think it over too, girl.....

Think Like a Man in theaters was so successful, Steve Harvey decide to go for broke by.....doing a sequel. I'll let you see the trailer yourself.

Coffee Break, boys....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyEGpFRWgmw


Now then, according to GSNN's BlogSpot page, it's pretty hard to acquire a new season of Feud. Why? It's can get more expensive. Look at it. Last year, Feud dominated every single chart in a chain line of shows from 1 to past 20. Nowadays, shows like Chase & Catch 21 try to shorten it once and for all. and with over 60 shows Harvey put on the schedule, too much is STILL too much.

Okay, it's 2nd intermission time presented by swagbucks.com. Lindsey stirling Appreciation Month continues with a visit from Mrs. Chrissy Teigen herself......

And the 3rd period starts.

Another shortie as the month continues is Hold Everything! Yes, Hold Everything! Barry & Enright took what Candid Camera and later Punk'd did for a game show. The host: Pat "I destroyed the Card Sharks image the next decade" Bullard with the weird hairstyle. I can't even explain why the hairstylist wanted to show the audience this, but as for the game, 3 stars try to predict the outcome of situations for cash. Whoever is ahead when it was all said & done got $1000 for charity and later, scoring was changed to $100 per point after Bruce "I used to be married to a Kardashian" Jenner had a scoring goof. I guess you could say the format didn't work despite the fact that it was only 1990 when syndication was done for the season until September, but Hidden Agenda......that's another story.
