I just read an Houston Chronicle interview with Mark L. Walberg, and this caught my eye at the very end:

QUOTE
(10) And what about Russian Roulette?

"It's not likely that more episodes will be made. People love the show. I'd like to meld that one into Temptation Island so that in the final bonfire, when they break up, we just drop the other person through a hole."


If Walberg's right, we may have seen the end of RR as a GSN original. :(

Someone posted an e-mail from Gunnar Wettenberg at GSN, and he said that there will indefinetly be more, just not for a while. Lemme go see if I can dig up the thread.

Which means there will be no more?

It would be a real shame if RR were not renewed. This is a good simple show. I think it deserves a try in Syndication or maybe nighttime network.

I do think they should bring back the original end game though.

I wouldn't care if it got cancelled. I liked the show at first, but then it just got old. Cancel it and replace it with a classic! (like TTD)

Has any GSN original *ever* had more than two "seasons"? I can't think of any.

This reminds me of the Nickelodeon game show philosophy in the late eighties/early nineties: let the show get popular, issue another set of episodes and then BAM! You're in reruns! (and now it's BAM! You're on GaS).

Shows such as Finders Keepers, Think Fast, Get The Picture, Nick Arcade pop to mind (of course, as I'm Canadian, I never saw any of these shows in first run*, so I might be totally wrong).

And then there's something called "Double Dare" that bucked the trend. I'm sure none of you have heard of it. :)

Cheers,

Ryan V.

*Nick Arcade ran on YTV in the early to mid nineties at 5.30 pm. Why they wouldn't pick up DD or FK is beyond me, though.

PS - Love that quote box!
