Gong-iversary Question
« on: January 24, 2015, 11:02:38 PM »
Back in...I want to say 2001, GSN aired a Gong Show marathon in honor of the show's silver anniversary. Now my memory is a bit rusty, but I think there was a list of the episodes that were airing during said marathon. It gave a brief description of the episodes along with either the episode number or that show's VTR date...can't remember which.

Does anyone here recall that episode list?

There is no mention of VTR dates, but from the taping tickets I've seen, it looked to be 10 shows every other weekend (5 Saturday, 5 Sunday).

The Syndicated edition (originally w/Gary Owens) taped on Friday. At least from one ticket I've seen.
