There will be a few more chances to catch the 2 Episode Block featuring the contestants that will have a shot at Redemption on the current Network (Nighttime) version this week.
Here is the info from The Barker Era for re-airing:
"The classic episodes will re-air over the next few days: 1/2 at 11am ET & 8pm ET, 1/3 at 10am ET & 7pm ET and 1/4 at 9am ET & 6pm ET.
One of the two classic episodes is new to the Barker Era channel, so don't miss it!"
The first episode is in rotation and from 1983, the second is the one from 1986.
Would love more special opportunities like this to come up, especially if they involve later 80s or early 90s episodes. Happy they are finally into 1985 though, getting closer to the Era I grew up with.
The "look" just isn't quite there yet from what I was most familiar with. It's slowly getting there though, with the "newer" Showcase podiums, etc.
I would also like to see them re-air the Specials from 1986. I could see them working those in somehow down the road.
