I was watching $25,000 Pyramid, and they showed a promo for the upcoming double airing of The New Crosswits.

Unlike All-Star Secrets and Babble, they looked great. None of the "faux film" quality.

You said New Crosswits and not Crosswits, right? Because that makes a bit of difference as to whether I'm impressed or I laugh at what the network is doing.

What's wrong, Travis? You hate the fact that some people may like the new version of the show?

No, but that's a lovely straw man you've built there.

If putting words into the mouth of another isn't against the rules, it should be.

It's the Sparks version, so yes, boo on that.

Not again, Vahan...

He asked a simple question. He wasn't attacking you.

According to Buzzerblog, it's an episode with Rosie O'Donnell and Arsenio Hall. I remember the latter making several appearances...didn't realize Rosie did the show.

It wasn't a terrible show, but a far, far cry from the Jack Clark version, and David seemed uneasy at times. That said, I love that GSN trotted out another rarity.

That's right; I was asking which version of Crosswits it would be. Given that it's from 86 I don't care overmuch, they can do what they want and the "Before They Were Stars" might get them some eyeballs, but I prefer Clark to Sparks in a rout.

The fact that Vahan couldn't deal with the fact that I asked him a question says everything about his own state and nothing of my own.

I like how the Charter Cable TV listings say it is the Jack Clark version.

Similar to when the revival first came out in 1986. TV Guide listed it as the Clark version.

Question: Why is GSN acting like The New Crosswits from the 1980's was Arsenio Hall's game show debut?

Do they know about The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour?

Where are the original master tapes for MGHS?

You know that the issue with MGHS doesn't have to do with the episodes existing, right?

I am aware of that, but are the tapes in Fremantle's hands, or MGM's hands? Which of the two companies is it?

Who's to say either have them, and did MGM regain the Squares rights? I was under the impression that CBS still had them.

If that's all you were asking, Vahan, it certainly didn't look like it at first. Came off like you were demanding GSN get them.

It shouldn't be surprising that the guide has the wrong information. There have been incorrect guide listings in the past few years that listed Bill Cullen as the host of The Price Is Right and Chuck Woolery as the host of Wheel of Fortune.

1) Did they actually say it's his first game show?
2) Even if they did, who cares? My guess is GSN wasn't aware of it, and even if so, no one outside of this forum is going to recognize the difference. They've prolly never even heard of Crosswits or knew that someone decided to merge two classic game shows from the 1970s.

It's really not a big deal...just sit back and enjoy the rare show, and not try to find minutae in all this.
