GSN reruns

I'd be wonderful if Scrabble came to GSN, Sale of the Century, and Classic Concentration but neither of these shows won't happen on GSN because it's now dealing with STUPID reality shows, I hope GSN ditches them. Nextbarker 03:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC) nextbarker

Message me if you agree.

Agreed, I liked GSN better when they were still "Game Show Network", and didn't show things like poker, blackjack, and "modern" game shows. I've always liked the classics best.

Supposedly, from what I've read on GSN's forums, they're not currently able to air episodes of Scrabble (or $ale of the Century) because they haven't been able to negotiate licensing with FreemantleMedia (see [1]). --Zidane2k1 21:33, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

With the rise of high-definition, I would like for the game show Scrabble to be revived with HD programming. It would have the same rules as the original version. It would have a new and unfamiliar host. I grew up watching Scrabble myself. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 10:59, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Same here, watched it all the time as a kid. I remember finding all its sound effects (especially the "letter sliding back and forth" one) amusing back then (and actually I still do!) --Zidane2k1 21:33, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Don't count on it, unless these idiotic negotiations go down, GSN will just keep airing the stupid reality shows, I don't mind blackjack, but POKER!!!!! ESPN WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR POKER!!!

Deleting international section?

The entire international section may need to be deleted, or at least reviewed. This Scrabble 'Word Secrets' business has NEVER aired on NBC, not to mention the show is listing executive producers that have been dead for many years, let alone the fact that they have never had any connection (legal or otherwise) to the Scrabble franchise. I suggest most of this section is false.

2024 Revival

Should we create a new page for the upcoming revival of Scrabble? A user commented that the 2024 revival should not be included here due to the revival having a different format. I think we should keep it here, because although the format is different from the Woolery version, it is still Scrabble, so I don't personally think that would be necessary. TheJay123 (talk) 18:00, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

I mean, there was another game show with the Scrabble branding, Scrabble Showdown, that aired years ago; but aside from the name, it had nothing to do with the OG show's format. And it seems like with this new one, it's going to be more straight-forward to the game, as opposed to the OG being loosely-based. My consensus is that if it's the same exact format (or if it contains a majority of elements), it would qualify as a revival. However, this and Trivial Pursuit are officially being labeled as "new shows". Personally, I would wait until more news comes out about the two, but I have no final say in this. BrickMaster02 (talk) 18:09, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

That's a fair point. In fact I had never even heard of Scrabble Showdown until just now. What could happen is that we can make a new page, titled Scrabble (2024 game show), and re-title this one to Scrabble (1986 game show) to differentiate the two. That might be a better solution than adding the revival to this page. TheJay123 (talk) 18:24, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
