GSN adds Shop 'Til Drop, Blockbusters and Syndicated $ale eff

[WarioBarker]

Almost all of them...for whatever reason, episode 54 is skipped.

Thanks for the correction. So 92 of the first 93 PAX episodes, assuming there's no further skipping.

On a related note, has anyone made a list of the Shop 'Til You Drop episodes GSN's aired, and when they've aired them? It'd be nice to have and keep up with, much like the daytime and syndicated Sale lists.

All I know for sure about the order is that #001 is Stacy & Jake vs. Anita & Jamie.

[TLEberle]

Please take this the right way: what would you do with such a list? How would you use it?

[WarioBarker]

I think it'd be a general resource for the forum, partly to help sort out the episodes that were already among traders before GSN picked up the show (similar to the Sale lists). Personally, I'd use it for research in the same way.

(If that's not the way you meant your questions to be taken, I apologize.)

That's what I use my lists for; they're also pretty helpful in figuring out what you have and haven't recorded.

My list has a LOT of gaps, but here's what I have so far.

001   Stacy & Jake vs. Anita & Jamie (darker bg on nameplates)
002   Emily & Chris vs. Michelle & GG (all caps nameplates)
003   Rae & Ty vs. Lisa & Jeff
004   Rebecca & Joey vs. Michelle & Ryan
005   Lana & George vs. Sera & Travis
006   Rupa & Clarence vs. Jeremy & Jamie
007   Jen & Chris vs. Christina & Delano
008   Shelise & Art vs. Stephenie & Michael
009   Alicia & Ryan vs. Tracie & Vince
010   Danelle & Jeff vs. Karla & Tim
011   Robyn & Dan  vs. Amy & Matt
012   Jennifer & Todd vs. Erin & Adam
013   Lisa & Lamon vs. Tammi & Nick
014   Traci & Matt vs. Kara & Roland
015   Melissa & Tom vs. DeAnna & Ray
016   LaTaushia & Donte vs. Keree & Adam (tropical special!)
017   Cindy & Matt vs. Menina & Quentin
018   Jeanine & Jody vs. Natosha & Chris

022   Julie & Clark vs. Michele & Jason
023   Niki & Chris vs. Shawna & Steve

025   Kelly & Joe vs. Wendy & John
026   Kiki & Adam vs. Tiffany & Bruce

029   Reina & Christian vs. Shawna & Greg
030   Jeanette & Craig vs. Sandra & Albert

051   Patrice & Delaney vs. Denise & Roger
052   Shontay & Yusef vs. Rebecca & Eric
053   Lori & Dave vs. Mabel & Andrew

Allstar, stay awesome.

...And I apparently suck at reading the advance schedules -- no episodes will air on January 15, and #067 will be skipped on the 16th. Instead, #068 and #069 will air at Noon and 12:30 PM with #070 and #071 at 4:00 and 4:30 PM (all Eastern).

So unless there's something else I missed, the lease is 91 of the first 93 PAX episodes.

029   Reina & Christian vs. Shawna & Greg

For the record, Chad Mosher has the bonus round of this episode on his YouTube channel, dated to April 28, 2000.

There's about four Season 7 episodes I know to be around, but I have no idea whether GSN has aired them yet:
* Diana & Ben vs. Jessica & Elvis (the one GSN leased for "The 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time")
* Kendra & Greg vs. Jackie & John
* Ayame & Scott vs. Vivian & Terrence (confirmed as #056)
* Kathie & Phil vs. Nicole & Ryan

Also, could anyone confirm how GSN aired Shop 'Til You Drop from December 9 through January 2? The airing schedule clearly went from "1-2/3-4/5-6/7-8/9-0" to "0-1/2-3/4-5/6-7/8-9" somewhere early on -- did they skip a third episode, or air just one on some day around Christmas? I'm not sure, so thanks in advance for any help.

I don't see the problem.

Seriously, omnivorous collectors can use such a list to keep their own episodes straight.  That alone seems a plenty decent enough reason for me.

That just aired today, actually.

055   Lisa & Jason vs. Alicia & Chris
056   Ayame & Scott vs. Vivian & Terrence

Also, could anyone confirm how GSN aired Shop 'Til You Drop from December 9 through January 2?

The pattern stayed constant until Dec. 19; from then until Jan. 2, the airing became a little crazy. Some episodes only aired once, in one timeslot. Here's the episodes that only aired once:

#29-Dec. 20, 4:00
#31, 32, & 33-Dec. 23, 12:30, 4:00, & 4:30
#34 & 35-Dec. 25, 12:00 & 12:30
#36 & 37-Dec. 26, 12:00 & 12:30
#42 & 43-Dec. 30, 4:00 & 4:30
#44 & 45-Jan. 2, 12:00 & 12:30

Given what our community thought of the show, I overestimated the interest there would be in 12 year old episodes of the show. If you're able to fill in people's gaps and whatnot, more power to you.

Omnivorous?  You mean they collect game shows and meat?

Sometimes, words have multiple meanings.

That's the syndicated version, however.

Bumping because...I guess this flew under most radars, including mine (*shrug*): GSN is airing more of Shop 'Til You Drop Season 8, although I don't know what episodes they've shown of the periods between #8013 (aired 2/3/14) and 8044 (which I know GSN aired in February), and between 8044 and 8055 (aired 3/3/14).

As with Season 7, I know little about what episodes GSN has aired of Season 8 and any help would be appreciated -- apart from a few September 2001 shows that were circulating before this past January (although I have no idea if PAX airing in taping order or what), I know of five episodes:
-Karla & Renato vs. Tiffany & Jonathan
-Sun & Ray vs. Rasheda & Mike
-Stephanie & Michael vs. Elena & Ryan
-Janene & Hal vs. Alycia & Todd
-#8044: April & Emir vs. McKrinna? & Chris

After today (#8065 and 8066), those two slots will loop back to #001 and 002 with two hours of new-to-GSN episodes on Sunday evenings. Based on the advance schedules, #8076 will be skipped on March 30, going straight from 8075 to 8077...although the schedules indicate the show will be replaced by The Newlywed Game on April 6, leaving only episodes GSN's already aired. EDIT: As it turns out, Season 8 will still be going; see below.

[WarioBarker]

Bumping slightly because per the advance schedules, GSN will still be going with Shop 'Til You Drop Season 8 through May 4, skipping #8088 along the way, and ending (at least as far as the schedules go) with #8100 -- which, from what I've read over the years, was the last episode before the "megastore" overhaul.

And honestly, I didn't think GSN's lease was going to be this big, with only four skipped episodes (by my count; I likely missed something between February 3 and March 3 since I never saw those advance schedules) out of 180.

[WarioBarker]

If that's the case (and based on precedent, I'll believe it when I see it), where will the last 20 previously-listed new-to-GSN episodes be slotted?

On a side note, general question to the group: on show #080 (the last 2000 show GSN aired before #8001), did Pat mention that it was the end of Season 7? He noted that it was the final taping of Season 6 during the bonus round segment of the last Family Channel episode, which is online, so there's precedent for doing it.

Shop 'Til You Drop has a new batch of episodes airing from 5 to 6 PM. This third season aired on GSN is from 1997.
