GSN Aquires Pyramid plus other schedule changes.

Some strange news from the GSN camp today. GSN has aquired the 2002-2004 version of the Game Show Pyramid. The show, hosted by Donny Osmond, was a revival of the old Dick Clark versions of the show.

I am kind of mixed on this news. Part of me is angry that it is not any version hosted by Dick Clark and the other part of me is happy that we have at least some kind of Pyramid. This show also had some good weeks including having legendary game show panelist Betty White and former host Dick Clark playing the game. Of course GSN could have gotten a horrible show like Card Sharks 2001. Things could be worse.

The sad news is, GSN will be taking Russian Roulette's 6:00pm airing with this show. It will also air at 10:30pm after an encore airing of the new GSN original Game Show Catch-21. They are also making a few other nightly changes. Here is the full nighttime schedule for Tuesday-Fridays.

6:00pm: Pyramid
6:30pm: Lingo
7:00pm: Bingo America
7:30pm: Catch-21
8:00pm: Millionaire
9:00pm: Family Feud (Karn)
9:30pm: Family Feud (O'Hurley)
10:00pm: Catch-21
10:30pm: Pyramid
11:00pm: Lingo
11:30pm: Whammy!
