I, personally, would appreciate it if you didn't purport to speak on my behalf, or question my fandom  because I choose to refer to a network by its preferred name.

I just call it Channel 54. Love that gamer I saw Saturday circa 6am with Ron Popiel. What was the object of the game they were playing with that chicken? Looked like a poor man's Beat The Clock.

Remember, yes?  Doesn't mean they aren't p**sing on it to some extent (BTW, for you Scrabble fans, the tiles I just selected for that 7-letter word are an A and an I...somehow I think that "A" is a stopper, if you know what I mean)

Clips of Extreme Gong and Love Buffet in that promo would have really urinated on the past. Not that daily showings of All New 3's a Crud don't do the peeing just as well.

Also, their promo implies that Lingo, Russian ROulette, and Whammy! premiered in 2000, two years before they actually did. THey also imply that they've aired Perry CS from the beginning of the channel, when in fact it first aired in January 1996.

Yep, I noticed the slight time discrepancies, too. But in 2000 they were showing Extreme Gong and Love Buffet, so they went with clips from later (and far better) originals. A tactful decision, even if the history isn't quite accurate.

Well, my .000000000000000000.....(well, you get it.........)

IIRC, the promo lists 1994 (the original logo), 1997 (the flat green ball), 2000 (the round green ball), and 2004 (the current state of crap).  Therefore you can look at it like this: 1994-96, 1997-1999, 2000-2004, 2004-.  See?  Makes sense, doesn't it?

That's how I interpreted it.

And the actual tagline on the closing graphic is "Ten years of winning--Thanks for watching."  Very classy, in my opinion, even if they are running it during credit squeezebacks.  (Not whining about it, just commenting.)  You're welcome, Rich and gang--and maybe in a few years the circle can come around again and you can do more game shows.  [Judy Tenuta]It could happen![JT]
