[quote name=\'tpirfan28\' post=\'217792\' date=\'Jun 11 2009, 04:24 PM\']Are we considering the 1985 run of syndicated TPIR to be a revival of the previous syndie run, or a spinoff of daytime TPIR?[/quote]
I'd call it an addition to the daytime run, but for this purpose it doesn't matter.

My first guess would be Alex Trebek, with Jeopardy, Classic Concentration, To Tell The Truth, New Battlestars, and the second version of High Rollers (and maybe something else I've forgotten). But who else has done a lot of them, and has anyone done more than five?[/quote]

Don't forget Alex hosted the second season of $128,000 Question (revival of $64k)!  That gives him six!

How much of a gap between the two was there in these cases, though? I'm not saying they *don't* count, but I have a hard time thinking of it as a "revival" when it pops up in the space of a year or two with the same host and (in the case of Battlestars) damn near the same game. (See Tattletales '84.) Strictly my own semantics, mind you.

REALLY no. I understand my own semantic hang-up with regard to what constitutes "revival," but you can't "revive" something that didn't exist in the first place, nor can you "revive" something that is currently running in syndication, just because it's on a network in prime time now.

Anything that gets him above Rikki freakin' Lake is fine by me.

Since it aired during the show's run, I count that as a mere counterpart, like Howie hosting daytime D/ND.

And even though it's in jest, I count GS Marathon as one-time specials, so Ricki wouldn't make the list if she tried.

QFT on both counts.

A little less than a year (canceled 4/23/82, reappeared 4/4/83). I'm wondering if NBC simply put it on "hiatus", with every intention of bringing it back?

Right, I knew Battlestars was a quick turnaround, but I can't remember the gap between High Rollers and High Rollers With Columns.

Duly noted, and I thank Our Don as well. :-)

I think I may have a winner.  Matt mentioned Tom Kennedy with 5 shows earlier.  I'm also counting "It's Your Bet" as a revival of brother Jack's "I'll Bet."  "Body Language-Showoffs" and "Wordplay-Call My Bluff" (okay maybe stretching).
