TVG did have a lengthy article long after the fact (during the USA run) in the color section. Why they bothered that late in the game is anyone's guess; it is an interesting story.

The Dating Game, based on the promo, appears to be a rare 1978-80 episode.
My money is on The Gong Show and The Dating Game airing tonight...

I'm guessing The Gong Show and The Hollywood Squares for tonight.

I think we're gonna be surprised yet again -- like with Password two nights ago.

In another instance of "They put THAT show THERE?" -- look out for Wheel or Pyramid.

They gotta give up Gene Gene, then.

Well I have 1 prediction right....I'm hoping The Hollywood Squares will land in at #11. BTW, so far on TGS the 1st two contestants got gonged.

Nothing against you, Richard, but I hope you're wrong about The Dating Game. I really don't want to see it tonight, and I'd prefer to see something more traditional, like a Wheel, Jeopardy or a Squares. Three's a Crowd and Treasure Hunt did air back to back, so Dating Game is a possibility.

I'm not watching the countdown tonight, but I noticed in the promo that Steve Martin was on the panel.
If the first act was Michael Lincoln, this is the episode where there's no winner and Chuck almost chokes on confetti at the end of the show.

Nah, the first act was "The Mother of King Kong."

I said The Hollywood Squares for #11.

#11 is The Hollywood Squares

Scott · « **Reply #688 on:** August 17, 2006, 10:30:34 PM »

Squares wraps up week 5 at #11. It's a '72 episode.

Gee, interesting how The Dating Game outclasses 'Squares' by making the top 10, yet it's not been anywhere on GSN's schedule for a couple years.
That is, assuming its inclusion in the promo signifies that it'll show up.
