[quote name=\'adamjk\' date=\'Jan 25 2004, 01:46 PM\'] At the end of the final episode of MG PM, was their any mention of it being the last show of the series? I know it wasn't mentioned on the final MG 79, and the final MG, but did they mention it was the last MG PM? [/quote]
THere was no goodbye on the last taped MGPM, due in large part to the practice of "bicycling" syndicated game show episodes still in effect at the time. It probably wasn't known for sure that the show would be back for 1981-82 at the time the last MGPM was taped in December 1980, either. The odds were pretty high for that happening, though, given that MGPM and Name that Tune were the only weekly syndie game shows left in 1980-81, and in fact, both did not return for 1981-82. The final MG SYndie episode, taped on 1/15/82, had some hints that it would be the last show, however, Charles saying "Thank you, Gene, Thank you" at the end of the show, was among them.
