$ale of the Century to GSN.

It wouldn\'t be hard to come up with a format where the daily champion could play for a trip, car or cash jackpot, or you could have three players on all week and the eventual winner can go shopping. I don\'t need to fill in the details because if you\'re of a mind you\'ve already done that and if you aren\'t you don\'t care. It goes to show how badly the format was bungled in 2007 that a good format could have been created to satisfy lots of angles but they didn\'t bother because that would require effort.

Three players on all week... isn\'t that how one of the tournaments in the Perry series played out?


 


To a lesser extent, those special episodes of the \'07 revival had the same format except over a course of three days. That, I didn\'t mind as much.

I always thought that the Cash Card/ Slot Machine minigame was the only way to get it put on the board early...I never knew that a $100+ score had the same effect.

 

I recall reading that somewhere...as a matter of fact, the Wikipedia page for Aussie $ale shows that this rule was instituted in 1993.


 


It just stuck out to me because I found it quite nifty to require a little extra effort to get the car early in the championship run.

This is the Way.

I wonder if GSN will show the final episode?

Yes, but then they\'ll have to interrupt the last ten minutes for a special report.  :)


 


/Happy to see $otC again.

The article says this coming Saturday and the Saturday after, it doesn\'t say anything about the Saturdays after that.


 


This coming from an entry on YOUR OWN BLOG.....Wow......You can\'t even cite that right?

The schedules have not been updated/released for Saturday 4/13, 4/20, etc., but I\'m sure it will turn back to Password Plus and Whammy! soon enough


So now you\'re contradicting yourself..........Great \"journalist\", you are...

That\'s not the first time. I guess he wants to make sure he gets approved then throw in the link to his blog. Tsk tsk.

That can be dealt with.

Well lovely!  I have been anxious to see \"Sale\" on GSN ever since the announcement was made...and now my stinking power is out for no apparent reason.  Come on power company...you\'ve got 30 minutes!!

I thought USA network ran all the NBC episodes. I am gonna miss Card Sharks. I am watching SOTC right now and they are running episodes in which the fame game is played like PYL.

No to the NBC episodes. The older ones you saw (1985-86) were from the syndicated era; the 1988-89 season were the only NBC one shown on USA.


 


The PYL-style Fame Game was in place during the syndicated era as well.
