There's the link, but I think it might be short shrift giving Don Knotts only a half hour. I kinda sorta knew that his color IGAS (rather than a BW appearance or two) would be picked, but just the one? He did quite a bit of "Beat the Clock" and a few primetime Feud episodes with his "Three's Company" gang. How 'bout those?

Well, as long as you mention it, my pet peeve HERE is different.

"Because we respect the great talent and remarkable accomplishments of these individuals, and their contributions to the medium of television, we're going to do a very special tribute to them AT THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING!!!"

Anybody else with a huge archive (AMC, TCM, TV Land) is very quick to put up a primetime tribute, or at the very least an afternoon of shows. Would it really put their schedule so completely out of whack for GSN to find a more realistic hour to air these "special" shows?

Well, a week of Feud episodes featuring Weaver at 5 pm isn't too shabby. However, we'll probably have to wait until someone who appeared on Millionaire dies before we see a primetime tribute.

I understand TVLand had a three hour AG marathon tonight. In addition, there'll be a 48 hour AG and 3C marathon this weekend.

It's mostly AG. They've stuck 3C from 11pm to about 5am.

Even there, though, it's just Feud in its regular time slot. It just seems if GSN really wanted to do tributes, they could squirrel away a couple of hours on the weekend when people might actually tune in to see a tribute.

Do they still have the rights to air NBC Weakest Link? If so, they could have aired the NBC TV stars past and present celeb episode in which Weaver participated.

Wasn't the Country vs. Cowboy week of Family Feud also shown during the nighttime? because it was preceded by All New 3's A Crowd As I Recall.

I think this week did air once or twice c. 2000-01, when Celeb Feud episodes(mostly Dawson weeks from ABC Daytime or Syndie, with a few Combs Feud weeks thrown in) aired weeknights at 10PM EST.
