Not that those would ever see the light of day broadcastwise.

One would think they stand at least a small chance, considering that half of the show is the Greatest Game Show Of All Time, Dammit(tm).

Love the reference.

But is it urban legend that the shows were never to be rerun because Rayburn didn't want them rerun, or is that legit?

Someone recently brought to light an interview with Gene from around GSN's launch where he expressed interest in having those shows rerun. Presumably, the ownership (with Orion in there, the ownership of Squares being a bit of a mess, etc) keeps it from being run again.

...


And of course, lack of general viewer interest vs. costs/headache, but....

Was Betty Thomas on the "Fun Factory" ep GSN showed a few years back?

Good catch!  She was, and I wonder if it has to do with different contracts that could have been signed at the time.  Betty wasn't very well known then, and that may have been her first break into network television.  By the time Hill Street Blues rolled around, she probably had different contract and higher status that gave her rights of refusal for re-airing whenever she appeared on an outside show.

It's kind of like music issues on some of Chuck Barris's shows.  On the late '70s Newlywed Game, several cues are dubbed over on many of the episodes, but those same cues were heard in the clear as early as 1997 when GSN aired the '80s Treasure Hunt.  It was explained to me one time that when these shows were originally produced, nobody thought that cable reruns would become a factor.  By the 1980s when cable started catching on, contracts were different - that's probably why those same cues weren't dubbed over on the '80s Barris shows.

Clear as mud?  :)

From what I understand, the Orion library is now owned by Sony, so Sony would have to cut a deal with Sony, which as we've seen in the past is quite a hassle.

Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

For the other week, I would guess that Fern Fitzgerald didn't clear her appearances[/quote]
Marilee Stone played Body Language? Daggone, I didn't know she made any game show appearances. Those would've been interesting to see. Wonder why she doesn't want them shown. Pity.
[/quote]
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't she on the premiere week of MGHS (or some very early week)?

Not that those would ever see the light of day broadcastwise.

Fern did MGHS three times, and her first appearance on the show is on the trading circuit. She was the center square on the Wednesday episode of that week.

Although it seems like Sony has either dropped out or is a minority player at MGM, since MGM/UA Distribution is back in business feature film-wise (after it seeming that every MGM would also have a Columbia logo).  It also seems to me that MGM's TV syndication division is back in business.

And Fern Fitzgerald's Dallas co-star Ken Kercheval, who played Cliff Barnes  also did MGHS. He also appeared on Pyramid, SP, Celebrity Bullseye and HS Marshall and Davidson. I think he also did P+.

Recently,  Ken got arrested for drunk driving in Indiana where he was attending some Italian event. I saw it on ET. Boy, I guess Ken was playing his character when he got cuaght for DUI. Nowadays, Ken wears glasses and looks sort of like Jack Nicholson.

You mean ET covered something other than Tomcat and/or Brangelina?

Good one, Don. From what I saw he had too much wine at an Indiana. And in recent years Kercheval has had lung cancer sugery, having been a heavy smoker.

I guess his liver got pickled like Hagman's did.
