What's wow about it? GSN ran the same season of episodes into the ground for umpteen years. It's about time they put it back on the shelf. They could've at least a) shown another season, or b) shown a different version (either ABC 70s or CBS 80s version). Granted they didn't have the full run of either (last two ABC years, and I think just the first CBS 80s season), they could've switched it up somewhat.

Except it wouldn't have been as "exciting". The absolute only reason they air the $100,000 version so much is the tournaments and that chance for a six-figure value.
Plus the CBS $25,000 was know for having plenty of dummies as celebrity players, ESPECIALLY when it first came back. I have some episodes featuring Lou Richards (of "Gloria" fame), and he didn't come back after that week. Then again he was paired against Pyramid vet Didi Conn...
(GSN has converted about the premiere to mid 1983 and mid-1987 to the finale of CBS $25,000.)
