When it comes to episodes such as the old Card Sharks; when GSN edits o ut the fee plugs/ticket plugs, are they gone for good? Or does GSN just air a feed over it? [/quote]
The fee and contestant/ticket plugs are not removed from the tape, nor are the retromercials, GSN just airs their own commercials and/or promos over them. We see the fee plugs often enough on shows(though usually with Cram or Funny Money promos in a split-screen effect), once in a blue moon they'll even leave in a ticket/contestant plug(heck this week's WOF reruns from 1988 are showing the rulesheets for the Radio City Music Hall sweepstakes they were holding at the time, though Pat's spiel and showing of the home viewer puzzle have been edited out). A few times over the years, we've seen part of a retromercial(most often on ABC Feud in recent years) when GSN slips up.
