GoodLife's web site and Zap2it say Let's Go Back is on this Thursday at 3:30 PM Eastern. I've caught a few glimpses of it over the past few months. Not an embarrassment like Extreme Gag, but not a thriller, either.
To get back to the original topic, this
NY Times column makes the argument for the oldies. It's a little strange that the writer picks four shows currently on GSN - WML, Name's the Same, MG and Feud - to make his point that the network is "forsaking" old game shows. In fact, these shows together get something like twenty-five hours of exposure per week on GSN.
Nice picture of Gene and company, anyway. Though from the Gene's relatively short haircut and Richard's lack of facial hair and less flamboyant clothes, I'd say the show is from 1976 or later instead of the early 70s. I'm starting to sound like an archeologist dating a pottery shard. That's gotta be Patti Deutsch with her back to the camera. And there's just a glimpse of Avery Schreiber's name plate.
UPDATE: Well, my pottery-shard dating was off by a few months. The pictured episode is from late 1975, according to the
MG episode guide (episode number 7).
