$ale on GSN

Is the $15-ish instant bargain on through the whole syndicated run?

Aren't we going further into the first syndicated season? Why did the fame game numbers go all brown?

[BrandonFG]

That...was really unnecessary. He asked a question, and considering the speculation surrounding the second season, it's legit.

You've been mighty snarky for no reason lately.

That, plus right now I'd rather hear from Mitch than Johnny.

I thought he was asking a reasonable question. It's telling that Johnny chose to read it the way he did.

Brandon, back when I was watching game shows we had 13 channels..CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox..no GSN. I'm just grateful for the technology we have. Instead of Wow! We now have a network where we can just watch game shows! people are like When will GSN air XYZ? I'm tired of it.

/Society has really changed in the 34 years I've been alive.

[BrandonFG]

Yeah...I remember those days. It has nothing to do with my statement, and it doesn't change it. Mitch was not being greedy or ungrateful. He asked a question, a question that has come up before for other shows.

You've really gotta stop playing Forum Police, esp. when it's not warranted.

[TLEberle]

And we're telling you that we interpreted his question to be the same as "When does Jeopardy! come out of summer repeats to air new shows?"

Getting this back on-topic, as Brandon said there's a lot of speculation regarding Season 2. Mind you, I'm not sure whether he's referring to Season 2 itself or whether GSN will get there (and if so, whether they'll get to the Winner's Board), but I'd say it applies either way.

We're definitely going through at least #S-088 (May 8, 1985) on October 24. Assuming the lease continues past that, and assuming no skips or pre-emptions, we'll reach Season 2 (#S-101, aired September 16, 1985) on November 12.

When will we see...

Winners Board

I'm not sure. The last shopping episode (Bill/Lauren/Brad) and first Winner's Board show (Lloyd/Susan/Brad) are around, but aren't online to my knowledge and I have no idea if the Cash Jackpot value was mentioned on the former. I know Tim Holleran ended his run on September 24, 1985 (#S-107) and Alan Sudenik began his on November 19 (#S-147), and based on that the format changed sometime between September 30 and November 18.

Per that, assuming no skips or pre-emptions and that the lease goes this far, we'll see the Winner's Board at some point between November 26 and January 14.

Possibly when they switched to the Winner's Board. It was still "pick a number" on #S-107.

You know what we're tired of? You.

But you don't see any of us pitching fits about it, do you?

Oh, by the way, your music career promotion is getting close to astroturfing. All you needed to do was post the links. And by the way, you know who else wanted us to look lyrically at his stuff? Erik Mokracek.

(See? I can be unnecessarily spiteful too and I'm sure you didn't see that coming, just like tvmitch didn't see your little pissfest coming. Check yourself, JO, before the mods have to do it for you. Which, at the rate you've been going, might not be too far away.)

/seriously, who took a whiz in his Cheerios this morning?

Let it be known, the slashies were added after Travis and I first responded. So he basically got snarky, received advice, and added three snarkier slashies.

For this I'm gonna call on one John Zandig to express my feelings after reading that.

Guess who else isn't Forum Deputy?

Wiki says the Winner's Board debuted on the nighttime version in November 1985. So I suppose those eps. could pop up sometime around Christmas.

Neither one of you.

Benfield did something sensible for once, and that needed snark? Come on.

[TLEberle]

I wasn't snarking off; I find it supercilious when someone says "Anyways! Back on topic..."

If it wasn't snark, what was it then?

Orgo veered it off topic, Dan put it back in the right direction. Why is that a bad thing?
