[quote name=\'vtown7\' post=\'222903\' date=\'Aug 13 2009, 03:05 PM\']Mr. Howard, is there an archive available for your top 50K game show moments, so when both Matts co-host they will be able to reminisce?
Mr. V.[/quote]
To the first, check your Facebook Inbox.
To the second, has there been a coup? I'm hosting this baby with co-hosts Mindy Vega and Crissy Moran.
Wait until you see their opening dance number. The rehearsal for it, I believe, is available on Tube8.
My father, Al Howard, will produce it as soon as Josh Guers gets him some coffee.
Al tells me he'd be delighted to have Johnny Gilbert serve as announcer and so he shall.
My other father, Bob Barker, can't make it since he's not being honored for any reason.
Mark Itkin will beat up the owner of any station that does not pick up for the program for syndication.
Oh, yes, to topic, to topic. If GSN does pick up MGC, can we presume Fan4Sure and his legion are the target audience members of the network these days?

How do you know? I'll do anything to announce on Head 2 Head.

Well I'd say I caught about 1/3 of the shows they aired - am I the only one who really enjoyed this show?? Seriously, after it went off the air, my lunch break just wasn't the same...:( (it aired at 12:30 p.m. where I live).

Are there any stations that are still airing the "Best of Season One"  or "Inside The Box" episodes this far into the 08-09 broadcast season, or have they all caved in to do double runs of "The Nanny"?

I'm pretty sure WTEN in Albany, NY is still airing MGC.  They were as of last week.

CBS affiliate Channel 19 in Cleveland does for sure. It airs at 9:30am weekdays this season as in the previous.
I've just turned on the channel and am looking right at Ty Treadway. And I've just as quickly turned it right back off.

WHME has it at 6:30PM, and has been appointment television for my mom and nine-year old sister.

WAHU in Charlottesville, VA, airs MGC weekdays at 11am.  Inside the Box at 11:30am was replaced by a second run of TP:AP back in January.

Speaking of which, did Inside the Box have a tournament format, or were all episodes self-contained?

WFMZ/Allentown-Philadelphia still airs MGC in the evening at 8:30p. I've seen it rerun in the mid afternoon, as well.

So anyway, yes, MGC is still playing its Season One choice shows in some markets.

Add WJAL in Hagerstown, MD to that list too.

/ Next to the West Virginia news, the one thing worth watching on that station.

WWMT in Kalamazoo had it on their CW7 affiliate - an afternoon double run in the first season, then changing to a 9 am single run in season 2, so West Michigan was covered. Mixed feelings. As bad a game as it was, you could still holler out the answers at home, and it was better than nothing.

9:30a is a brilliant spot to program MGC. I'm sure the ratings are dismal, but up against Today Show: Hour 239048, and Regis & Kelly, you'd be hard-pressed to program a ratings winner. MGC had to come very cheaply...enough that it was better to run that show in that time period rather than informercials.

Yep. The other "VHF" competition is the soon-to-be-extinct Morning Show With Mike & Juliet.
