GSN’s “Bingo America” Renewed for Second Season + Gas Promoion
GSN's hit original series, Bingo America has been renewed for a second season. The interactive quiz show will have its new season in the Fall, so be on the lookout for more information as time comes. And I'd like to especially note that producers of the show have been reading here for viewer's input, so be sure to voice off and hopefully we can see some changes next season. Honestly, I was fine with the game play. The focus of the game is the at-home Bingo aspect so I'm not expecting any unbelievably groundbreaking game play, though something a bit more interesting would be welcomed. The presentation could really use some work, though. We get the point, host Patrick Duffy. You mark off the number when it's called. It doesn't take

“GSN Live” Expands to Six Hours on July 28th
Pretty exciting and fun news from the GSN camp today which is much better than a cat game show. GSN Live, the network's daily live talk/interactive show during the commercials of some of your favorite classics, will be expanding to six hours starting on the week of July 28th. The show, hosted by Fred Roggin and Heidi Bohay, currently airs from noon to 3:00PM ET; it will extend to 6:00PM ET, cutting off before Russian Roulette.

A Few GSN Updates
We have a few GSN updates that I figured would be best to just place all in one post instead of a few spanning far too much of the page. *First off, we will have a full preview of Bingo America later tonight. It's better than How Much is Enough?, I swear. *Second, Wink Martindale is coming back to GSN Live (which you should really check out if you haven't, it's a lot of fun), but not as a guest. No, this time he will actually be hosting the show as regular host Fred Roggin takes the week of March 24th off. Friday's guest will be host of The Hollywood Squares Peter Marshall as well. This is Wink's first hosting job in quite some time, isn't it? *Next, I would really like to apologize, I completely misjudged How Much is Enough?.
