One interesting note about that first week, the new logo on Dick's podium was actually a sharp-looking triangle, where the tip actually peaked above the podium itself...
Out of curiosity, I went to YouTube to view a video.  In my quick search, I didn't find it, but found an ep. from 1984 with an announcer that I don't recognize.  Whoever he is, he sounds like he just got done watching a PBS telethon.
Jack Clark.  The first show that aired after I was born 10/27/60 (Thursday) was "Dough Re Mi."  The first one that I may have seen on GSN was probably WML for that Sunday.

Closest I have to mine is the 11/14/65 ep of WML (I was born three days earlier).  Notable episode as it turns out, as it was the first one following Dorothy Kilgallen's death.

I don't think it has Barry's song, but here's an episode.

9/6/84 was a Thursday, so a number of game shows were on, but the only one I've seen that actually aired that day is Press Your Luck. Price and nighttime Wheel would still have been in reruns... Jeopardy, Super Password, and Body Language had not yet premiered. Sale of the Century and Scrabble haven't been seen in reruns in a few decades. Family Feud may have been new on that date, but I haven't seen much from that part of the run.

On a semi-unrelated note though, I'm told the morning after I was born, my mom was feeding me in her hospital room while "we" watched an I Love Lucy rerun. I still love Lucy even until this day.

Body Language had actually been on the air for 3 months by that point, it was 6/4/84 that it premiered. It's entirely possible you did see that day's BL (if you like it) somewhere along the line..

Closest I've got was October 27, 1985. A bunch of shows have aired during that time, but the episode I've seen (on GSN no less) was the premiere of Blockbusters.

March 17, 1990 was a Saturday, so probably no joy there, but when GSN was rerunning Combs Feud back in 03, that was the 1990 season, so I wouldn't be surprised if the March 16 episode was in there somewhere.

Oops... you're right.  Does anybody happen to know who the celebrities were that week?

Thanks to GSN, or what it used to be, I saw (and taped) a To Tell The Truth installment from the night I was born (7/2/1962). The panel that night was comprised of Tom Poston, Gretchen Wyler, Richard Hayes, and Mimi Benzell.

Cordially,
Tammy

According to this, it was Jenilee Harrison and Marty Cohen.

I was born on Sunday, September 22, 1974, when there were no game shows airing. But I'm 99% certain I've seen, on GSN, the episode of "Match Game '74" that aired Monday, September 23, roughly 30 hours after I was born.  (Don't think I've ever seen any of the other shows that aired on that date, except maybe syndie "WML?", depending on market.)

One you could conceivably have seen was NYSI (that would have been in the midst of Lyn Heath's run).

This is tougher for us really old guys.   On my birthday, Nov. 1, 1955, the daytime shows were "Feather Your Nest," "Strike it Rich" (ick), "The Big Payoff" and "On Your Account."  In prime time, after "Name That Tune,"  the Rev. Alvin Kershaw of Oxford, Ohio, walked away with $32,000 on "The $64,000 Question."  My chances of seeing that episode are pretty slim, I'd reckon.

July 19, 1988 here... The only thing I know of in first-run at the time would be Combs Feud, although I'm sure someone will prove me wrong.

The closest episode I know I've seen would be Combs' premiere episode from 7/4.

July 12, 1962 here...and thanks to Shokus video, I have the Seven Keys episode that aired on that day a mere 4 hours after I was born. The cool part is the copy has all the commercials, plus the slate (which said Tape Date: 7-9-62/ Air Date: 7-12-62)
