  Game Show Network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although the show 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 would eventually become "GSN: The Network for Games".
GSN's current tagline is "The Network For Games." (However, the entity's corporate name remains 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 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 employ this practice as well).

 Ballbreakers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The show features four people that play games of nine ball against one another for bets.
The first three games are 'all-in' affairs; if the player with more money can win any of them, the show is over and the $20,000 is won.
If the round goes three games with no player having all $20,000, the fourth game is played for all of the cash, no matter how much each player has.

GSN needs to bring back the old versions of "The Price is Right," as well as any non-Goodson shows they have in their vault, and they will be the ultimate channel for those who cannot stomach today's crap, like myself.
GSN is a pretty good network, dont get me wrong, but when you start putting on a lot of stuff that has been repeated into the ground, and originals on timeslots people watch most all of the time, it gets old.
GSN is starting to jump back after jumping the shark for a while, but I don't want to jump to conclusions (enough jumping?) Game shows are rare in todays TV schedule, and having GSN be game shows would be great.

 Game Show NewsNet - On the Buzzer
Back in 1998, Game Show Network was on cable and dish systems under the banner "All Play, All Day." When you were through watching "The Joker's Wild" and "The $25,000 Pyramid," you could participate from your very own home in several different interactive games.
This was something that experimental networks had tried in the late 1970s, but the technology nor the interest were there, and so we waited until the late 1990s to be able to play from home.
GSN is back to its roots with "PlayMania," a late-night show where contestants call in to play word games and other puzzles.

 Boston.com / A&E / TV / Game Show Network changing name to GSN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
GSN will be known as "the network for games." Under those circumstances, Cronin said the Game Show Network name was too restrictive.
The median age of the network's viewer is 47, dangerous territory for the youth-obsessed television industry, so the changes are also an attempt to attract young people.
This summer, GSN is launching "National Lampoon's Greek Games," an Olympic-style competition for college fraternities and sororities, and "Extreme Dodge Ball," a television recreation of the game you dreaded in elementary school.

 Review On Game Show Network by missy32 - MouthShut.com
I remember watching some great game show’s when I was growing up, but now today we don’t see to many game shows on TV any more.
The object of the game is to pick a person from the panel who might have a card in their hand that says “Box Office”.
The show is kind of easy, and the object of the game is to match the answers with the big time stars.

Meanwhile, one of the show's biggest sponsors, GM, who never before had a problem getting their automobiles out to the exotic locations, is suddenly claiming that they are having a hard time figuring out how to place their products on Cook Island, so they will no longer be sponsoring the long-running reality game show.
Woolfe, one of the driving forces behind the success of the show, is claiming compensation as he was not allowed to proceed with his proposed management buyout of the subsidiary.
The game show's first season, which began broadcasting in June 2005, registered an audience of 6.6 million, and a 31 per cent reach in viewership in the first three months.

 Billy Bean's Got a Secret -- Outsports.com
Eastern on the Game Show Network (check your local cable or satellite listings) is an update on the TV classic that first aired in 1952.
The show is unscripted and was filmed live before a studio audience; the only scenes reshot during a filming I attended were simply to get better inflections of the mystery guests saying "yes" or "no" to panelist questions.
The Game Show Network has shot 50 episodes of the series (10 weeks' worth) and whether or not it gets its run extended, Bean hopes that having four gay people just being themselves will make some difference in the cultural landscape.

 Borst-SmartTVandSound: Game Show Network
Once upon a time, playing along with your favorite television game show meant you blurted out the answer (in the form of a question, please!) before the contestant did.
True to its motto "Play All Day!", GSN offers round-the-clock game show programming, and according to Vice President of Programming Kristin Peace, "Fully a quarter of that programming is original game show content." She goes on to say that a growing number of the shows offer real-time interactivity to viewers.
But with GSN now entering over 30 million homes, and digital set-top devices proliferating, the network's future programming emphasis is almost exclusively on original game shows built from the ground up with real-time, viewer-involving, interactive game play of a type never before possible.
