Kinda off-topic, but was the entire NBC Daytime lineup preempted by coverage on the Pan AM 103 hijacking on December 21, 1988?

Doesn\'t appear that it was, according to the Vanderbilt TV News archive.

I thought it might have been, because I know the lineup was preempted on 1/2/89 (due to football), and on 1/20/89 (due to coverage on the swearing-in of Bush 41). And it might have explained why Super Password did three 6-episode weeks, during the winter of 1989.

The 1/2/89 preemption wasn\'t for breaking news--since 1/1 was a Sunday, the Rose Parade and the big college bowl games (remember when they were all played on one day?) were moved to Monday.

Do we know how many episodes were skipped between the end of the \"True Romance\" torture tournament and the next episode aired by GSN? Mr. Perry referred to a female returning champion who would be back on the next show at the end of the last True Romance episode, while today\'s champion was cetainly not female.

GSN skipped the three-episode Thanksgiving week.

*$ale will now start with show #1496 (OAD: 11/10/88), three eps earlier than planned.  Episodes #1503-1505 are being skipped, though I don\'t recall if this was reflected originally. . 

Now that I think about it, makes sense--1503-1505 would\'ve been Thanksgiving Week (Macy\'s Parade Turkey Day, cartoons Black Friday).  So we pick up with 1506 from 11/28/88.


 


ETA:  Looks like a few of us had the same train of thought.

Saw somebody on Facebook chiming in with the \"let\'s make GSN start Sale from the beginning all in favor say i\" crap...didn\'t take long for that to start...


 


65 episodes or not, a piece of my childhood is back on television! I am grateful! Hell, I ended up waking up with a stomachache (I sleep in) the other day and turned on the TV for PYL, Sale, and $100K Pyramid and it almost felt like I was back in kindergarten! Why am I still going with the exclamation points! I don\'t know! I\'ll stop now.

I\'m surprised it took this long. I don\'t have cable, but when I read the schedule update, I immediately thought that it felt like the 80s again. And if new daytime shows won\'t make a comeback, this will do just fine. :-P

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but according to the GSN pdf\'s the following episodes will be skipped.


 


#1516, 1521-1530 & 1534.


 


I would take it 1521-1530 would have to do with Christmas & New Years. Not sure about the other two.


 


Maybe they are holding them off towards the end of the year?

Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

No. I think they are skipping the Xmas episodes completely.


 


The press release said \"65 episodes\". Plus, I think there was a music-clearance issue. Wasn\'t the song \"Sleigh Ride\" (composed after 1923) played during these episodes? I know they showed Ray Combs FF episodes featuring the song, but I guess this time, GSN didn\'t feel like paying the royalties.

I know the Friday episode of that Christmas week (12/23/88?) used \"Sleigh Ride\"...Jim did a very heartfelt thanks to the viewers that episode, and the cast and crew all appeared on stage.

Two \"$ale\" questions that I\'d like to pose tot the forum:


1) I remember on a GSN special (The \"Play It Back\" trilogy w/ Aunt Hilda), they showed a few clips of \"$ale\". Not sure if that was foreshadowing into the network\'s future, but it does make one wonder how did they get a hold of those clips?


2) Has that Emil fellow (from the last 2 shows) been on any other game shows? He looks so darn familiar...
