Next Week on Password Plus...........

[xavier45]

Well Monday on Password Plus will be the first of 4 weeks hosted by Bill Cullen. If anyone does not know, Allen left because he had to have Stomach Surgery for Cancer. But he would return 4 weeks later, and host for another 25 weeks until he would leave for good in October 1980.

Thanks ever so much for the heads-up.  Now I'll just extend my TiVo pass for Blockbusters by an extra half-hour, and I'll get 'em both!  It's the Cullen Hour!

[PYLW]

For Blockbuster fans, the finale airs in about a week and a half. We're into Rich Jeffries (blehh), doing the announcing.

Gives me a reason to set up the spare DVD recorder on the 3rd floor to finally get all 20 episodes of Cullen's tenure. Thanks for the heads up!

A member of the GSN boards said that they skipped an episode today, so the episodes will begin THIS FRIDAY!

Yeah, and a member of the GSN boards also said that Scrabble is destroyed.

Can you either provide a link, or can someone else confirm this?

Well Mark that person there is a Password Plus junkie, so I think he is right.

Allen apparently said on today's episode that it was Thursday.

Did you see this, or are you still quoting the GSN board source?

I just watched the tape--Ludden did say, "Day #4," which would imply that it was the Thursday show.  And a quick check of my tape of yesterday shows they did indeed skip an ep (they had just brought a new contestant on to play a game in yesterday's rerun, but today's started with Alphabetics).

Which is not my point.

Josh stated that he read on the GSN board that someone else said this thing about P+. Mark then questioned the veracity of the GSN board and asked for a more reliable source.

Now, whether Josh feels like he has to justify himself to Mark is an entire other issue and completely his own choice. But if he IS going to do it, going with "And here's what the questioned source said!" is not the best strategy to take.

Understood completely.  And you're right.

But if one is looking for corroboration that what was said was indeed correct, then consider it corroborated.

Hell of a game between San Jose and Nashville, isn't it?

[PYLW]

Actually, Mark had asked for a link to the thread in question...unless I'm misreading his post. My apologies for any confusion.

I've said it before and I will say it again: the GSN board is not, by itself, a legitimate source for any information whatsoever.  Far too often, posts known to be false have been allowed to stay, while people who have tried, even politely, to correct the false information have been suspended or banned.  And the official policy as stated by one of GSN's moderators is that if you disagree with something, you're not to answer.

Now, if a poster with a known, long track record of getting things right happens to post something there, feel free to cite it, but do so because of the poster's reputation, not because of where it was posted.  If a programming change was mentioned there and you saw the same change mentioned on a GSN promo or in a GSN press release (or, for that matter, in a reputable media outlet such as Broadcasting & Cable, Multichannel News or TV Week), the same holds.  But "I saw it on the GSN board" is not enough to meet Eligibility Requirement #7, no matter how much you may like the poster in question.

And before anyone asks again, one's post count -- here or there -- does not determine one's credibility either, for better or worse.
