History Creator / GSN

In 2015, the network gained competition in the form of Buzzr, a new digital subchannel network run by Creator/FremantleMedia. Buzzr is airing the programs they own that are not part of GSN's lineup (barring of ''Series/MatchGame'', ''Series/CardSharks'', ''Series/PressYourLuck'', and ''Series/LetsMakeADeal'') and is currently in several markets with a planned nationwide rollout.

In August 2012, GSN began using "Game Show Network" under the logo in promos for ''The Pyramid'', which quickly spread to the credit crunches (amusingly, in a vertical style reminiscent of the original 1994-97 logo). In 2013, GSN began referring to itself explicitly in its promos as "Game Show Network" for the first time in nearly a decade.

The current schedule is sometimes criticized by fans for relying too much on fairly recent material (''Series/DealOrNoDeal'', the Sherri Shepherd version of ''Series/TheNewlywedGame'', the Steve Harvey seasons of ''Family Feud'') and material that doesn't quite qualify as game shows (''High Stakes Poker'', ''Series/DancingWithTheStars'', ''Family Trade'').

* ''Divided''

* ''Series/Winsanity''

* ''Winsanity''

* TheRemake: Done often to obscurities. The Woolery-hosted revival of ''Lingo'' was by far the best received, while ''Catch 21'' is considered a worthy ''Gambit'' revamp with minimal changes to what had been a winning format (along with being heralded as Creator/MerrillHeatter's return to TV after nearly 20 years). The Dylan Lane-hosted ''Chain Reaction'' returned the mental agility that was the Instant Reaction bonus game, but was tempered by clueless contestants and Lane's generally sucky hosting. ''Extreme Gong'' and Bill Engvall's ''Lingo'', on the other hand...

* LoversLounge

* BlackAndWhiteOvernite (also known as "Sunday Night In Black & White")

** They at least had the decency not to crunch ''LetsMakeADeal'' (since Monty Hall made mini-deals with the audience throughout the credits) or some of the ''BlackAndWhiteOvernite'' shows.
* KidsBlock: During GSN's heyday, "Kids Zone", a block of kids/teen episodes of adult game shows (e.g., "Teen Week" of ''Wheel of Fortune''), kids versions of adult game shows (e.g., ''[[TheJokersWild Joker! Joker! Joker!]]'', ''Jep!'' and ''Wheel 2000'') and kids-only programs (''Juvenile Jury'', ''The Quiz Kids Challenge'') was aired on Saturday mornings.

The current schedule is sometimes criticized by fans for relying too much on fairly recent material (''Series/OneVersusAHundred'', ''Series/DealOrNoDeal'', the Richard Karn / John O'Hurley / Steve Harvey seasons of ''Family Feud'') and material that doesn't quite qualify as game shows (''High Stakes Poker'', ''Series/DancingWithTheStars'', ''Family Trade'').

** From 1999-2001, the credits were horizontally crunched for a brief promo, with the show on the right side and from 2001-04, both show and promo in square boxes. In both cases, everything was still legible.

** These programs often included commentary cut in by the "GSN Ball" and an adult host (usually when an announcer would stumble over copy, host-contestant interaction, the kids were being themselves, etc.), which most viewers found very annoying instead of cute or humorous.

* ThatsTheQuestion

* CreditsPushback: Originally nonexistent. Until about 2002, the only thing Game Show Network did during the credits was a brief, unobtrusive voiceover for other network programming that echoed those of the classic games and was typically placed over the "coming up" voiceovers of the original episode.
** From about 2002-04, the credits were horizontally crunched for a brief promo, with the show on the right side. Later crunches had both show and promo in square boxes, but everything was still legible.
