A contestant on other game shows alert: Greg was also on Press Your Luck in 1983, winner of $15,400 in cash.

Did Ron on today\'s episode also appear on Scrabble during 1984 and 1985\'s Tournament of Champions? The same Ron where Chuck was saying \"That\'s okay Ron, you just stepped all over my foot!\"?

I don\'t know; did he?

No.

Today, GSN aired the 2nd of 8 John Goss episodes. The $750 goal is now in place, and although GSN cut to a commercial during the end credits (not sure if it was to remove a ticket/contestant plug, or videotaped parting gifts, a la $100K Pyramid), they showed a nice close-up of the Reg Grundy Productions Inc. logo.

For a history of the American RG logo, here is this site.

It sounded like they were doing end-of-show parting gift/promotional consideration plugs.

Nice to see the RG logo non-split-screened...but I did notice they had a lot of time to kill with the close!!! Unlike most shows, GSN runs SOTC up to the [edited-in] Fremantle logo--they don\'t cut out early!

Yes Vahan, but how many episodes is GSN\'S lease? If it\'s only 65, we won\'t get to Conkwright or Holleran.

Yes you will, at least John Goss, Helaine Lowey, and Alice Conkwright. It took 22 episodes to break the first jackpot (for $72,000), 14 episodes to break the second (for $64,000), and 27 for the third (for $77,000). Trust me, I\'ve seen every episode in its syndicated run.

Follow the math, you\'re an episode off from all of them. (23, 15, 28)

Which brings us to 66, one more than the lease.

...Except based on the advance schedules, GSN has skipped one episode (#S-016, John Goss' first day) and is going to skip another on the 18th (#S-022, John's seventh day), so at the very least we'll see Jim fish out $2,000 from his pockets to tempt Alice with an Instant Bargain on her final day.

Assuming the lease is 65 episodes (I don't recall any confirmation on that), we'll get to at least April 9 barring any further skipping.

I didn\'t hear any confirmation either but I feel pretty certain the lease is for 13 weeks of shows. That seems to be GSN\'s MO of late.

Unless they throw us a curve and add some more weeks or picked up the entire run.

Daniel, did this version of Sale ever have any rerun breaks in mid-season, like one week worth of reruns during December, and one week worth of reruns during April? Older seasons of http://www.gameshowforum.org/index.php?showtopic=25406&page=21#\'>Wheel of Fortune in Syndication used to do that.

We\'re getting at least one more skip...the new PDFs show that S-026 won\'t be airing.

1) PYLClark86, since S-#022 will be skipped over, can you please tell me who were John Goss\' opponents in that episode?

2) Did this version of Sale have mid-holiday breaks during Christmas and Easter, like Syndicated Wheel used to have?

I\'m getting flashbacks of adamjk and his \"Feud\" obsession....
