Triple threat

This post started out as an update to the previous entry. But it deserves its own space.

GSN continues to score with its newfound trifecta. Family Feud, America Says and Common Knowledge all drew more than a half-million viewers on January 16. John Michael Higgins and friends hit an all-time high with 544K viewers.

If Common Knowledge keeps drawing these big numbers, will GSN give it a prime time slot? That would further lessen the network's dependence on Harvey Feud...and on Fremantle. A big thing in the show's favor is that Game Show Forum hates it. That's quite possibly a valuable contrarian indicator of what will work on a non-oldies game show network. I'm serious about this. The oldies boards can be useful in reverse, so to speak.

I gave Common Knowledge a fair-to-middling review myself. But I have to admit that the show has grown on me with subsequent viewings. The offbeat questions are fun, and Joey Fatone has a lot of relaxed charm as a host. GSN's audience certainly seems to have warmed to him.
