That made me laugh so hard, because I JUST watched that episode of MST3K before reading that just now. :)

It was a good episode, and all of the credits fit, for some reason! Lately GSN has been going to the infomercials in the middle of the fee plugs, or crunching the credits.

And I so wouldn't mind if Moore/Garagiola TTTT made it onto the schedule.

For anyone interested, the central character in the first game was double agent Dusko Popov, who claimed to be Ian Fleming's inspiration for James Bond.

Since they aired a poker special on Monday to promote the DVD release of Casino Royale, my suspicion is that they aired this particular show for the same reason. Cullen's presence for a fifth consecutive week was a happy coincidence.

There were a couple of funny things in this episode:
1.) After Garry said goodbye and the camera turned to the panel standing up, Kitty had already bolted the scene for the day.  (Maybe nature was calling? or her broker?)
2.) The other three (Cullen, Cass, Alda) seemed to be having a hell fo a time getting out from behind the panel desk.  For a few seconds (a longer than average goodbye shot of the panel deboarding), we got to see them struggle mightily to clear those tight chairs and reach the path behind the desk.
3.) The whole set seemed askew physically.  Look at the wall behind Garry.  Usually the viewer sees the white stucco strip to the far right and you never see the yellow curtain behind him.  This show,  the blue wall behind Garry seems too far over stage left.  The side of the door, the curtain is in clear view behind Garry about a quarter of the screen.  There was no demonstration requiring the wall behind Garry to be pulled wider as they frequently did.  Maybe they were in a rush to put up the set that day.
