I am actually shocked that Wheel didn't get an ep....I would have thought they would have done an ep of Wheel and then the Carpenter win for WWTBAM...

The aired shows will be Family Feud and Match Game. Jeopardy will be #4 and Price is Right will be #2, and both will simply be mentioned.

And I'll cheerfully belly up for a double order of Gee, This Crow Tastes Terrific(tm), and admit that I apparently greatly underestimated just how utterly insanely out-of-their-minds blisteringly shark-jumpingly stupid GSN could be.

Would've made too much sense. :-P

I didn't even see the whole mention of Wheel, just the Chuck and Susan stills. Did they even SHOW Pat and Vanna's face. I know that's a silly question, but this is also GSN.

/Tell me they're not THAT insane.

Wow, that surprised me a little that GSN didn't show an episode of Wheel and instead run the David Goodman Millionaire episode.

Ya know, after all this, an announcement of the debut of The All-New $1.98 Beauty Show wouldn't surprise me out of these yahoos.

They did show one or two stills of Pat and Vanna from the 80s. Well so far this week has gone exactly as I expected...

Don't worry, there should be no doubt that you are in good company around these parts with that...

Millionaire: Would at most be in the upper teens I'd think. Like most have said, WOF, J!, TPIR, and FF have had 20+ years to establish themselves in the U.S. Millionaire would be, at what, 8 at this point? Bah humbug...

Wheel: *must resist urge to make inappropriate remark* Though I saw it coming, it at 6 and WWTBAM at 5 still made me shake my head...

Fixed. David Goodman was the show's 6th big winner, and second in as many weeks. Kim Hunt won the big money 5 days before Goodman's episode.

Sony is supposedly pairing it with "KLUNK--The All New Treasure Hunt" (complete with 2 boxes for the contestant to choose from)

Is it sad that I was happier watching the bottom of the list than I am the top?

[/quote]Honestly, the top 25 offered some good stuff. I was very happy with TJW and a lot of the stuff in the teens, such as TTTT and Gong. Hell, the top 10 would've been excellent, had they acknowledged Wheel of Fortune for more than 30 seconds.

Actually, it's gonna be the The $6.38 Beauty Show. They have to account for inflation, y'know.

Oop. I thank you sir. But still, didn't this one just get aired not too long ago again?

that works to one second for evey year Wheel has been on the air.

Allstar87 · « **Reply #959 on:** August 29, 2006, 10:31:41 PM »

I had a bad feeling Wheel wasn't going to get aired; GSN hasn't aired it in quite a while, so I thought they wouldn't bother bringing it out. I think Jamie's right; I'll be expecting double-airings of Match Game & Feud.

Boy, this is gonna be a great week.
