Was thinking Kerry should\'ve been playing for $9,000 today...guess that explains it.  Wonder why they\'re skipping episodes that aren\'t \'holiday themed\'?

What holiday falls on a Friday in early January? Today\'s skipped episode should have been from January 6, 1989.

The only one that comes to mind is Epiphany.


 


Also, catnap1972 asked why they\'re skipping episodes that aren\'t holiday themed.

Music rights issues?

That\'s what I get for being up since 4:30 AM...

Music clearance issues, maybe? Both for holiday and non-holiday shows.

What music besides \"Sleigh Ride\" was used for the holiday episodes? \"Sleigh Ride\" was used in the 2nd instant bargain in the show before Xmas week/

Ratings came out for last week, the fourth week it\'s been on the network (courtesy Douglas Pucci), and it had a very good week compared to those previous, with a range of 203,000 - 158,000 viewers, averaging 184,000 viewers in its 9:30AM ET slot.

Week one average: 132,000 viewers
Week two average: 138,000 viewers
Week three average: 129,000 viewers
 

Thanks Chad, that news certainly sounds promising. I wonder if when we get to the end of the sixty-some episodes GSN \"checked out\" of the Fremantle library, if we\'ll get the same batch for another cycle or if GSN will
exchange those for a different batch of sixty some episodes.

Did any conversions have to be performed to get these airable?  Maybe the skipped non-holiday shows had some trouble with conversion.

Did USA ever air these episodes that GSN has skipped?
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

Probably they intentionally skipped the episodes and are saving them to air near the Christmas holidays, like they did with \'Card Sharks\'.

Which is why I made the point of saying \"non-holiday shows.\"  What should have aired Friday was certainly not a holiday show.

But the press release said \"65 episodes\". I\'m sure if it had said something like \"78 episodes\", we would have gotten the holiday episodes, either during the regular rotation, or during the actual holidays.


 


In contrast, GSN, which leased for the remaining 1983-early 1984 episodes of Press Your Luck (57), showed the Christmas and New Year\'s episodes.

This doesn\'t happen often--two contestants on today\'s show have each been on at least three other shows as champ LaRae Dillman was on Blockbusters, The $25,000 Pyramid, and Russian Roulette, while challenger Don Benn was on The $128,000 Question, Scrabble and Tic Tac Dough, among others.

Without going into specifics, LaRae\'s first day on $ale was a doozy, especially for the outgoing champ.

If you\'re going to spoil you may as well spoil all the way.
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

Technically, it wouldn\'t be spoiling, since it already aired on GSN yesterday (and originally 24 years ago). Not only did she unseat a 6-day champion going for a shot at the car, she did so by nearly $100. To paraphrase the other challenger: \'I showed up on the wrong day.\' Still, very impressive performance.
