No offense taken. GSN and Turner Classic Movies are my favorite cable channels. I can't get over that the "What's My Line" contestants winning $50 was considered a huge prize back in the 50s. Everything's relative, I guess. I remember my dad saying that if he could only make $250 a week we'd never have to worry about anything. I also remember our first ranch style house in the suburbs cost $17,500 - and it was brand new. This was in 1956. I was in 3rd grade.

Besides "What's My Line", my favorite GSN show is "Trivia Trap" from the mid-80s.
