An ad Buzzr posted on FB says it hasn't been seen on over the air tv in 20 years. How can that be , esp with the new version on GSN for a few seasons?
If they're going to go back into the archives for this - great. Otherwise, i'm just not a fan and don't need to see the 97 version played again.
It's technically correct: it hasn't been seen "over the air" in over 20 years--the last syndicated run ended in 1999, and GSN is a cable channel. Even though Buzzr is sometimes thought of as a cable channel, it's technically a digital broadcast channel.
Judging by the picture, it's the 1997-1999 Eubanks version. Yawn.
Now wondering when GSN last reran the '90s version. (and the Twitter post says "not seen on TV" only)
If it will only be that version, a sizeable asterisk comes with it, needless to say. Sony doesn't seem too proud to acknowledge anything before the 90s, it seems...so if they're only getting the '97 version, I wonder if it was Sony that insisted on leasing out more contemporary episodes? Then again, we don't know which episodes yet for sure, so who knows?
Now that we know what show it is, my guess is it takes the 10pm hour to replace MGHSH. Eubanks's Card Sharks now has the 9:30 PM slot, so you get 90 minutes of him.
If it wasn't short-lived, I'd have said perhaps Trivia Trap, CS, and NG. But this sounds more like it. It also depends how many episodes they get/which version(s). An hour a day on the weekdays will burn through episodes really quick.
