Major late September schedule changes

[PYLdude]

Now that I think about it, maybe I should have made my point a bit clear. By that I mean saying that the addition of the star wheel was for the best.

That, and Dawson was on the panel during the first few weeks with said wheel.

Now see, here's where I'm lost.

How long had the Star Wheel been in place before he left? I seem to remember the old set still being used when it debuted and I know Dawson was still on the show when they changed the set later in the year.

[Vahan_Nisanian]

He was on the first eight weeks with the Star Wheel in 1978.

On the fourth week with Star Wheel, the set changed. The last four weeks with Dawson on the panel were six-episode taping sessions (meaning they also each had a PM episode).

What I said was that he shouldn't claim the high road in this case because he's been just as dismissive of people's opinions (especially Vahan's) based on merit as anyone else (even I've been guilty of it more times than I can count).

Who's claiming what road?

There's a difference between disagreement and dismissal:

Vahan put out an opinion based on a scheduling change. I asked "Why do you have that opinion?" He plainly said "because (reason)." without taking up a defensive position. He did it exactly right, and perhaps unintentionally started an interesting conversation. Pertaining to this topic I've no beef with him, and I don't get where you're coming from.

Cool!  Did the promo make it sound like a one time deal?  (According to the pdf's, that seems to be the case with the exception of next Thursday).

I could've sworn somebody posted (but danged if I can find it) that Blockbusters has gone back to December 1981 and the SP episodes pick up where they left off with Betty White and G. Gordon Liddy.

Which brings up a question--there's an archived page on teh webz of a 1981 BB episode guide that has NBC skipping two weeks (going from 12/3/81, when today's first ep aired, to 12/18/81, when today's second episode aired).  Something seems wrong here.  Either NBC cobbled with two weeks of reruns, or the dates are way off (I think the 12/18/81 airdate is accurate--apparently that's the week with the Xmas tree).

Anyone know for sure?

I also noticed the episode guide for 1982 is off by one number (I.e finale was 372, not 371).

[Vahan_Nisanian]

Speaking of episode guides:

I have PM'd Ian Wallis to let him know that I am compiling airdates and players' information for the episodes of Press Your Luck that GSN currently has the rights to.

I have also resumed work on the Super Password guide, which I will post here once I am done with it. The guide has been over 6 years in the making, and I am so happy to get back to working on it.

And last of all, I have resumed work on the Syndicated Sale of the Century episode guide.

This version of Crosswits last aired on Family Channel, didn't it?

There was a very obscure cable channel whose name escapes me...ATN or something. Crosswits aired there c. 1997-98.

Also noticed they're moving into episodes of $25K Pyramid from November 1987 that they've shown before (even though they're marked as being new-to-GSN).

Greg, I noticed two episodes skipped (not that I'm complaining too much about it.) Did GSN show the Monday episode of the Alison La Placa & Tom Villard week in the past?

No idea. The lone episode I have from that week in my collection is the Tuesday show, so that doesn't help. I've never seen any more than two episodes in anyone else's collections though, so it's quite possible that they skipped it in the early 2000s as well.
