 I heard that TV stations and/or networks may be only a year or two away from airing different ads in different homes.  I could just imagine ABC renaming the show for each potential viewer.  "Next on WLAJ ABC53, it's Good Morning Matt Ottinger", or "Next on WOKR ABC13, it's Good Morning David Zinkin", or something like that.

That they did.  It's now called AMERICA!:  The All-New Good Morning.

Yep, he left about the same time that Woolery left Wheel.

 Woolery left Wheel? You mean that weatherman is staying?

 You didn't watch the week in August 1994 where Trebek guest hosted. He had a segment with Peter Marshall, Jim Lange, and Gene Rayburn as guests.

Just saw a puff piece about Bil Dwyer that referred to Extreme Dodgeball as a "game show/sporting event." Guess the writer hasn't been reading these threads, or she would have known about the Badlands of Endless Dispute:

There is more than just that error in the piece. The writer also calls the network "Game Show Network," not GSN.  This is tantamount to calling Spike "The National Network."

 Or worse, "The Nashville Network". :)

Well, actually she does use "GSN" later in the story. The point is that most people couldn't care less about our endless disputes over what is and is not a game show. Kinda depressing and reassuring at the same time. Depressing because we spend a lot of time splitting hairs over something most people would just laugh over if they knew about it at all. Reassuring because most people don't care to split this hair so fine.

I wonder what GSN's definition of "game show" is. After all, the folks at GSN are the ones who changed the name of their channel from Game Show Network to GSN - the Network for Games. Anyway, I could care less myself, LOL. This dispute reminds me of those Viva paper towel commercials from years ago. Viva: is it a paper towel or isn't it? There would be a huge question mark on the packaging. Maybe GSN should put a question mark in its logo.
