CBS's possible reviving Gameshows for Daytime!

Well as you all know that one of their long running soap operas called Guiding Light was cancelled this year. But your probably wondering to yourself, what will be taking it's place for CBS Daytime? Can be another soap opera? Well one of the big ideas that's being tossed around now is having two revived game shows from CBS' past to returning.

First up on the list is the $1,000,000 Pyramid. Taking us back to the olden days of with Dick Clark, it takes us back to an updated version of the set. However, Donny Osmand & Dick Clark are not returning; however, two possible hosts have been thrown into the mix. The is official that have been taping the pilots are Tim Vincent (from Access Hollywood) and Dean Cain (of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and Ripley's Believe It or Not Fame). Amongst Celebrities that have been stated to have been around are comedienne Susie Essman, actor Jesse Metcalfe (from John Tucker Must Die), and former Jeopardy! champion and current GSN Live personality Ken Jennings. From what is stated, gameplay will be the same as the $100,000 Pyramid. The elimination round will 30 seconds to guess the 7 items in 1 of 6 categories. The Winner's Circle will be played 60 seconds to get 6 items for $10,000. The contestants will be playing for the top 4 spots and 2 wild card spots for the League of Champions. And will be going for the $1,000,000 prize. Who knows maybe this series will take off and be a regular for years to come!

And the other show that's most likely gunna be on the block with the Pyramid is Let's Make a Deal. That's right the old Monty Hall game show would be returning for another go. This show will be bring back the old ZONK! prizes and will be lead at the helm with Wayne Brady of Whose Line is it Anyway? and Don't Forget the Lyrics fame.

If these two come to the Day time schedule this fall for CBS you can Bet Your Life on it that I will be watching and keeping track! And maybe try contacting to become a contestant on them if they go into major production!

And GSNLive's personality Fred Roggin is with The Money List. Lingo is NOT returning. It is cancelled. Though if you views want to get new episodes then write to GSN or post something on the boards. Family Feud has been renewed though Trivial Pursuit: America Plays is on hiatus. It is unsure if it will return or not. Catch-21 is currently in it's new season and unsure if it will be renewed for a 3rd season. Finally, Million Dollar Password, it's is unsure if it will be renewed for a 3rd season.

My Twitter & GSNLive's Money Meter & Clued In

Everyone, got an update for you all.

My Twitter:
Well I set up a twitter account just for this blog and my GSN Activities alone. It's located @ http://www.twitter.com/shaggy32gsn. Please do feel free to follow the tweets that we well tweet on twitter. And I really don't know how any other way to say that.

GSNLive's Money Meter & Clued In:
As you all know there is a GSN Live game called, Money Meter, which keeps increasing for everyone logging on to GSN.com. Though it also adds up for the entries into their live contests. You can get up to 60 entries, if you decide to enter your # for 10times per hour. And well unfortunately today's contestant failed to answer the question correctly. Starting $11, 675. So I am wishing goodluck on winning.

Now for Clued In, GSNLive has added a brand new game called "CLUED IN". Everyday during the week GSNLive will be showing a video of Ken Jennings giving a clue to a mystery thing. It's basically like playing a giant game of Password Plus, except you don't have to guess the mini-passwords that clue you in to the major password. Go to http://www.gsn.com/live and click on the Clued In icon. You have 10 entries per day. And you can only enter 10 times a day from Mon-Thur. The answer will be revealed by Friday.

Welcome to Shaggy32's Game Show Blog.

Hello All,

Welcome to my blog. Most of you from GSN.com know me as Shaggy32, and well I am officially opening a Game Show Blog! We are planning some major fun for the year. Amongst the items that are going to be done is Game Show news. Get some of the news on some of your old and new Game Shows. Another thing we are going to have is the posting for the Big Saturday Night Questions, though it is rumored to have ended on July 25, 2009, we are hoping it isn't true. Just to clear things up, I will not be posting Oodles answers or giving "oodles updates". I will however be giving the lowdown on the breakdown of oodles just for all people here. I am even going to try to work on landing interviews from Game Show contestants or maybe even Game Show hosts. Also, we will be posting some of the videos shown around Youtube.com and maybe have some fun with that maybe if I get on GSNLive as a contestant or maybe on a game show myself, I will be showing video of it. Though to all game show fans out there, I have one thing to say, GET IN THE GAME!
