[quote name=\'Michael Brandenburg\' date=\'Aug 21 2004, 12:56 PM\'] If any of those Match Game episodes they are going to have on the new schedule are going to be the ones that Ross Schafer hosted on the ABC-TV network during 1990, these will be totally "new to me" episodes because "MG90" as we call it never aired in the Cincinnati area. (WKRC-TV, the ABC affiliate in Cincinnati at that time, knocked it off for their daily midday newscasts.)

That's one reason I like the 1990 episodes as well, as they are "new to me".
WNEP-16 in Scranton aired noon news, so no MG.
WPVI-6 in Philly aired noon news, so no MG.
WTXF-29 aired the previous ABC noon occupant ("Perfect Strangers" reruns) on a one-day delay at 10am, I thought they would have aired MG- but no go. "What's Happening!" reruns took the 10am slot.
WHTM-27 in Harrisburg did air it until September, when they bumped it to air "Trump Card", and when TC flopped, replaced it with reruns of "People's Court" until June, when they aired the last 3 or 4 weeks of MG.
