Page "Game Show Network" Paragraph 46

In the network's infancy, GSN regularly showcased vintage Goodson-Todman game and panel shows from the 1950s and 1960s, many of which were either originally broadcast or only preserved in black-and-white – such as What's My Line ?, I've Got a Secret, To Tell the Truth, Beat the Clock, and others.

These classic shows made up much of the channel's lineup at the outset, but have been gradually cut back in prominence since the late 1990s.

On October 1, 2006, only What's My Line?

had a regular spot on the schedule, late Sunday / early Monday at 3: 00 AM Eastern ; it was followed by a selection from various 1950s-1970s Goodson-Todman shows, usually another panel game.

On December 31, GSN reinstated the Black and White Overnight to 7 days a week from 3: 00-4: 00 AM, showcasing What's My Line?

and I've Got a Secret in the block ; other shows, including Choose Up Sides, The Name's the Same, and the Bud Collyer-hosted primetime version of To Tell the Truth have been featured, with the latter currently airing following What's My Line ?.

GSN cancelled Black and White Overnight, effective March 31, 2009.
