Happy 15th anniversary to Talkabout, which was launched in syndication on September 18, 1989. (I know it's one day early.....)

Cordially,

And the premiere had one distinction prolly not a single GS has ever been able to claim: a contestant named Stripes. :-)

 Wasn't the premiere episode technically an episode featuring Marc Summers, Geoff Edwards, Steve Skrovan, and Scott Nemes playing for charity?

Here in Michigan, we got to see it from CBC a good six months before syndication, but I think the first show featured Barb and Stripes.  No Detroit station picked it up in syndication because it was airing on the Windsor station, however Channel 20 (now WB20) aired "Last Word" and "Jackpot!" which also entered syndication that day.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.
