I remember that too. Visiting grandma and had to plead with her to let me switch her TV from "The Doctors" (the James Pritchett version) for one day.

I'm curious as to what Showdown did for its last day. And feel free to correct me if this is wrong, but Wikipedia claims Money Maze was the first daytime game show to be rerun on its network of origin.

No, there were repeat weeks of LMAD on ABC prior to that. Dream Girl did quite a few repeat weeks as well.

Great. Now he'll probably nominate that article for deletion as well.

Sure. That way there's no proof that he's talking out of his arse.

/actually it's more likely he'll add another edit to his "impressive" collection

Three in the last half hour.

Um, little slow on the uptake; please elaborate.

Dan has three edits in the nine o'clock hour of the Money Maze page. I was referring to the Pokemon slogan of "Gotta catch 'em all" as a comparison to Dan's..."collection" of edits.

I don't nominate articles for deletion -- heck, I barely use Wikipedia anymore. By the way, the problem has been solved, matter taken care of, article fixed, etc. Thank you, Don.
