[quote name=\'gameshowlover87\' post=\'231246\' date=\'Nov 25 2009, 01:08 PM\']If I had to guess, I'd say that when Liberty Media got invovled with GSN, they divided up the entire run of The New $25,000 Pyramid into 8 different packages for these following sets:

September 1982-June 1983
June 1983 (Remainder)-March 1984
March 1984 (Remainder)-December 1984
December 1984 (Remainder)-August 1985
September 1985-June 1986
June 1986 (Remainder)-March 1987
March 1987 (Remainder)-November 1987 (Several weeks of first-run episodes unavailable due to Iran-Contra hearings, hence the presumably  shorter package)
November 1987 (Remainder)-July 1988

That's the only logical theory I can come up with. Of course if I'm wrong, feel free to debunk me.

I do know the same thing applies for its $100K nighttime edition counterpart. They divided that version up into 3 different packages:

September 1985-September 1986
September 1986 (Remainder)-September 1987
September 1987 (Remainder)-September 1988[/quote]
OK, so GSN aired the 3rd package of $100K Pyramid episodes for 2 years non-stop and the 2nd package of episodes came in right before the changeover. Now as for the $25K version, which November 1987 week is the first in the 8th package?

The 8th package began with the 3-episode Alison La Placa & Tom Villard week, followed by the 8-celebrity "Battle of the CBS Soaps" week, due to the fact that GSN airs the show by production order.
