Carpenter and Jennings in Grand Slam would be interesting…but I think Joe Trela will give them all a run for their money. He was one of the only “wise men” to actually help the contestant win on the revamped version of WWTBAM a couple of years ago. Though he may be hindered by his “reflective” manner in answering questions… Really looking forward to this battle of the brains

Wheelloon…

“Without Prejudice: Was that rumored for another network?”

The UK version aired on BBC America a few years or so ago. I don’t remember hearing anything about one of the big networks picking it up after that.

Props to GSN. I just they find time to air all those classic with this great mill of new shows they’re producing… ;)

All in all, most of them sound promising. I’m especially looking forward to Grand Slam and who prevails of the great GS minds. I have a few questions though:

Without Prejudice: Was that rumored for another network? I thought the peacock, but not sure. Don’t take my word as gospel…

Indecision: Why is it, that when I read that, the first thought that came to mind was Inquizzition? Maybe it’s just because of a similar name, maybe not. Did that thought occur to anyone else?

Camoflauge: Remind anyone of a slightly retooled “Now You See It?” If it’s similar in nature, that will be appointment TV for me. I LOVE NYSI… :D

I suspect complaints about the Engrish questions killed that one off. Which, considering how easily that could have been fixed for a new run, is a shame.

A Jennings vs Carpenter match would be darned interesting, especially with the words-and-numbers element. The inclusion of that in the US version too, rather than a switch to trivia, rather suggests to me that there’ll be a few Lingo champs thrown in amongst what could otherwise easily end up as Jeopardy! vs Millionaire.

Unlike many people here I’m actually looking forward to everything GSN has to offer. Some of you think that just because GSN has some reality shows in development that all of a sudden there’s going to be some catastrophic hell unleashed upon the world. DEAL WITH IT!
On another note, I’m rather surprised GSN didn’t mention anything about That’s the Question returning for a second season. Maybe it’ll happen in future announcements but just not this batch.

I seriously hope that “Kerry’s Getting Married” is a flop, and KenJen appears on “Grand Slam.” Both seem very likely.

Also, when will GSN realize that Dylan Lane is horrible?

Without Prejudice?-Should be a lot of fun.

Chain Reaction-Let’s hope they learn from their mistakes.

Lingo-No surprise there.

World Series of Blackjack-Ditto.

Catminster-As I have a couple of kitties myself, I’m strangely looking forward to this.

Nationa Vocabulary Championship-I’m leaning a bit towards “won’t watch” here.

The Box-Can anybody say Cram 2.0?

Carry Your Weight-Corbin Bernsen came up with this? Geez.

Grand Slam-This one has “appointment TV” written all over it.

Kerry’s Getting Married-This reminds me of a certain Fox show which was an absolute disaster (hint: it was before The Rich List).

Camouflage-Interesting idea, we’ll see what happens.

War of The Words-Does a certain game show remake of the 90’s come to mind? Anyone? Bueller? BUELLER?

Documentaries-Out of them all, the Insider’s Guide to Winning Game Show Millions sounds the most appealing.

HOORAY! Kudos to GSN for picking the pace on game shows and ner programming! I also wanted to see Grand Slam, and now it looks like we will…Finally! Grand Slam is a great format where only the best compete! That’s how it should be. It looks as if GSN finally GETS IT, if you know what I mean. Exciting!

…speaking from England where we had Without Prejudice? and Grand Slam…

…HOLY HELL YES. GSN have made some inspired moves there. I severely hope Kerry’s Getting Married is a flop and the rest aren’t. It’ll probably be the reverse, though :(
