[quote name=\'gameshowlover87\' post=\'246216\' date=\'Aug 21 2010, 07:55 AM\']Does anyone know why the first-taped episode, with Betty White, Leann Hunley, Charles Durning, and Charles Nelson Reilly, didn't air until October 10, 1988? I thought the daytime edition had returning champions.[/quote]
If by daytime you mean NBC, it didn't have returning champions until late in its run, when it started adopting rules more like the eventual last syndicated version.
