Very much so. People have made a lot of videos about how it feels like there aren’t as many “mid-budget” film releases, and how streaming series feel highly serialized these days and like watching an 8-10 hour movie. Well I think it could be argued that when streaming took off in the mid to late 2010’s, ideas that could have been greenlit by studios as mid-budget films started to become greenlit as season long streaming shows that are incredibly serialized, and perhaps that might not have had the best plan to continue should they succeed and the streamer want to renew them. I recommend the videos on Netflix by the UA-camr Captain Midnight to describe that criticism of streaming series if you want a more thorough explanation. Streaming changed a lot about the entertainment industry, and I don’t know if George Lucas realized just how spot on what he said in this interview in 2013 would prove to be one day. Also, when Spielberg mentioned that there would be a lot of mega budget film flops, he summed up 2023 in 2013 perfectly.

Do you have a favorite film from either one?

That is one of the oldest UA-cam uploads that nobody appears to have ever archived.

@@fortynights1513 on StarLogos is credits about Dr. J Reincarnated, I don't know it is real, but one person who may have this movie is Brent Hurley

Maybe Brent Hurley have on disc?

@@cooler444I don’t know if he would. The lost videos by the original founders are probably lost to history if I had to guess; but it’d be interesting if we ever found them.

Are You know credits to dr j Reincarnated from superlogos are true?

I didn’t realize there was more to those two than what I saw. Either way, thank you for checking out the upload of the videos. It would be cool if Dr J. Reincarnated by kaizenamazen, or more uploads from the initial founders Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim could be found someday. But for now what you see here might be the oldest 100 UA-cam videos that can be watched.

Was a good block in the black and blue years.

@@fortynights1513 I wonder whatever happened to Mel Peachey

Streaming was just becoming mainstream in 2013 when this aired, and has arguably gradually overtook linear television (broadcast and cable alike) over the past half decade. Even if there are some good programs on linear television, they end up on streaming shortly after being broadcast on television, and there are arguably very few unique experiences on linear television left aside from live news and sporting events.

@@fortynights1513 Streaming was already mainstream then. Netflix's Starz deal in 2008 made that a reality. By 2010 streaming viewership was outpacing satellite/cable with the exception of sports holdouts. Don't forget Apple's huge misstep in 2007 that created Hulu.

Was one of my favorites growing up too

I hope so too, it’s not the same

Music and visuals, or just visuals? Either way, they did a great job!

Very well put!

@@fortynights1513 why thank you! I’ve been practicing for this moment since I fell in love with gsn

Solid piano

What George Lucas essentially argues here is that theaters would prioritize major franchise films, with everything that isn’t that caliber of box office attraction migrating to cable television or streaming. And in some ways, ten years later he was right.

One other thing: I think it could be argued that some streaming programs that have seasons that have been described as a ten hour movie could have been envisioned as mid budget films but greenlit by studios as seasons of streaming programs. What do you think?

She did those two spots in 1985 I believe. I tried to put these in chronological order. Whitney had an incredible voice.

@@fortynights1513 Yeah I think you’re right on the timeline. 😃 And yes she did 🥰

Do you have a video on UA-cam that you are aware of that shows this ident?

@@fortynights1513 No but I located where all versions of idents are. Here’s the full Casino ident: ua-cam.com/video/0x9twrjHCKU/v-deo.htmlsi=V0glQLTcaofXLT17

@@fortynights1513 All idents from 2004 have 12 different versions! The only version of Casino without the slot machine is the shortest one at 5 seconds.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@jadenmuniz8817Thank you for sharing that one. That appears to be a longer version of the one I uploaded here.

@@fortynights1513 It's the longest: 16 seconds

This video also goes well past 2001, but there is content covering nearly seven years before then.

They’ve had quite a few interesting ones over their history

There are plenty of uploads of up next segments that have been taken down over the years. Fortunate that I was able to assemble a short compilation of every variant I could think of and that this has lasted as long as it has.

It's definitely interesting to contrast all of the different eras of the channel in one video graphically and in terms of the composition of GSN's lineup. The first roughly two and a half years featured a smooth jazz theme and the channel was dominated by older game shows (black and white and panel in particular). The channel's promos had a more colorful palate in the late 90's and early 2000's (orange, blue and green being most prominent). During which point we see a number of originals (Lingo and Whammy most notably), as well as more shows that weren't from Goodson-Todman shown more prominently (due to the brief dark period, a number of Barry-Enright and Chuck Barris properties that otherwise wouldn't be as prominent got airtime), as well as Let's Make A Deal, The Price is Right, Press Your Luck, and Pyramid. After the 2004 rebrand, most of the graphics of the channel were black and blue, and this period had the best idents in my opinion (the falling house of cards and conveyor belt being my two favorites personally). There had been a couple of reality shows on the channel before the rebrand, but those shows were advertised more prominently in 2004 and earlier 2005. Interestingly though, for as much as the reality shows were advertised, you could still find older game shows from the 70's and 80's in the daytime (I vividly remember the lineup including Match Game PM, Body Language, Dawson's Feud, Blockbusters, Password Plus, and the $100,000 Pyramid for a good period), and black and white shows in the late night slots (Black & White Overnight as they called it). The reality shows occupied an hour or two in primetime most weeks, but the lineup from 04-08 was still arguably well rounded as a collective. We also got a number of specials as well. The black and blue era is the channel I grew up watching personally, and while the reality shows may not have fit the tone the channel had set for itself, the channel was still very interesting in my opinion. Then the logo becomes nine boxes in mid 2008, and the black and white shows lost their place (I don't recall many black and white game shows being reran from that point on), and reruns of more contemporary shows became more prominent on the lineup. It's understandable to try and update your lineup, but for me, a lot of the older shows left the network, and I started to tune out. Though I will say that Catch 21 should be considered a solid re-imagining of Gambit. Then in 2012 or so, they started spamming Steve Harvey's Family Feud. A fine show in my opinion, but airing one show for several hours on end can get very repetitive. Haven't paid much attention since, but last time I checked their schedule it looked ok (and to their credit, no show looked particularly overexposed), but nothing compared to their first 15 years. Thank you for checking out the compilation!

If you look back at the promos from 2004 and very early 05, the reality shows were airing in Primetime, and were heavily promoted. After that, really only the casino night shows stuck around longer (High Stakes Poker most notably). In retrospect, I would probably take the GSN of 2004-05 over the GSN of 2012-2018 or so. Say what you want about the reality and casino shows, but they never came close to taking over the entire lineup like Steve Harvey’s Family Feud often did in the 2010’s. Even in 2004 and 05 (let alone later in the black and blue period), older game shows could still be found throughout their daytime lineups, and black and white overnight was still a thing in late night as well. At least that’s what I think. What do you think?

You are very welcome! Out of curiosity, do you have any footage of the special itself? Or any other promos for it?

@@fortynights1513 No sadly, the tape this was on only consisted of Brady Bunch episodes.

Sounds like a tasty dish. I never actually went to a Steak & Ale. I just came across their ads, thought they looked and sounded cool (the smooth jazz music from the Houston ads from 1986, and the two with Whitney Houston in particular), and would make for a good compilation.
