From the looks of this panel, the particular episode in question has got to be one thing:

SCHOOL RIOT.

If your VCRs are rolling, you might want to hope that it doesn't conk out during those times.

-I believe this one is it.

From what I've deduced on the list, we can look forward to seeing these spectactular events again:

5:30pm -> Jack Klugman subs for Brett, and this is when he kinda goes crazy at the end of the episode, running around, spinning the star wheel, etc. MG PM (80-81)

6:00pm -> Gene Attacks a Stagehand -> MG '76

6:30pm -> The Admiral Color TV Debacle -> MG PM (75-76)

7:00pm -> Dr. Joyce Brothers is a panelist

7:30pm -> can't figure anything special about this either (from 1976, unclear whether daily or pm)

8:00pm -> Jenny Jones as contestant

8:30pm -> Kirstie Alley as contestant

9:00pm -> Let's Pretend II (Richard & Fannie impersonate Brett & Charles)

9:30pm -> Steve Allen is a panelist

10:00pm -> Didi Conn is a panelist

10:30pm -> \"Cuckoo, Friend and Ollie\" episode

11:00pm -> \"School Riot\" episode

11:30pm -> \"FINALE EP.\" (although the panelists aren't aware of it)

This happened to be the last Match Game PM episode ever taped.

I was hoping they'd show the premiere again... I seem to miss it whenever it comes on. Dammit.

Me, too. My newly installed imitation-Tivo from the cable company hadn't started taping yet.

Does anybody know if they're rerunning the marathon, or at least that episode?

They've aired that in the regular rotation 2 or 3 times now.

From the way some of the people on the show were talking (and, I believe, from what has been said in this group previously...anyone want to correct me?), I think they were aware.

The regs were aware renewal for 1982-83 was not likely. THere were no official goodbyes on Syndicated Game SHows until the late 80s(I'm thinking Davidson HS was the first syndie game show to do a blatant goodbye in the final first-run episode). In the early 80s, the practice on Syndie game shows was that the shows would be taped a few months before word of renewal or non-renewal came about. MG's lagging in popularity in the post-CBS years(and the dwindling ratings and time slots for it in an already game show axing-heavy era), didn't make renewal likely for 1982-83, and Charles' end of show chant of \"Thank you, Gene, Thank you, Thank you\" was the most blatant hint of it being the likely last show.
