I've seen the list.  I don't know if it's officially shared with the public yet, so I won't post it here.  Once again (and unsurprisingly) there doesn't appear to be anything that's not already been on GSN. Most of it is available on YouTube for viewing any time you want.  I know for certain there are no new Secret episodes.  And believe me, I would know.

Thank you, Matt. This has been an annual tradition I look forward to but I wonder why they don’t bring out (lease) different stuff.

For whatever reason, my cable system (Xfinity) isn't even showing it on the schedule at all yet even being a week out. But some other systems do have the info already and I'm already interested in the Bruner WML with Norman Rockwell and the IGAS from the first or second year? Sounds like only the first week of information is available.

Discerning choices.  The Rockwell one may very well have never aired on GSN before.  I don't know WML like I know Secret.  The Mantle episode has been shown before, but possibly not in a long time (plus I'm not finding it on YouTube, though I could fix that).  Because it's so early in the run, the make-up of the panel is weird.  Jayne is the only one that we would consider a "regular".  Bill was off that week, and Henry and Faye had yet to join the show.

As I understand it, nobody wants to go to the trouble and expense of transferring new shows for a silly stunt that airs at three in the morning.  I believe that even the digitized product that GSN originally transferred is approaching obsolescence now because of the rapid changes and format shift in digital broadcasting.  Consider this:  In 2024, we are as far away from GSN's launch in 1994 as they were at the time from the tail end of that black and while kinescope era.

According to GSN's online schedule, the last day has a Blyden WML? with Peter Marshall as the mystery guest and an IGAS from the 1972-73 season with Charles Nelson Reilly.
