SUpermarket Sweep never aired on FAM.

[quote name=\'zachhoran\' date=\'Apr 24 2005, 08:07 AM\']What was the third station Sweep aired on? It did have a trial run in syndication in 1995 on a few stations(reruns of the Lifetime run).

I don't believe it was Sweep that had a 3rd network airing................I think that was Shop 'Til You Drop......I do remember it airing on FAM quite a long time ago.

Shuffield thought Sweep aired on three different cable or broadcast networks, but it is only two(Lifetime and PAX). STYD did air on FAM with new episodes from 9/30/96-8/14/98.

Well, at whatever the heck time it was this morning, I was obviously still not awake.

SYTD also aired in Syndication at one time as well. Around 1996 it was on in syndication, I remember the Milwaukee CBS affiliate running it as they had no newscast

Detroit CBS O&O Channel 62 also aired STYD around 95-96 at noon following TPIR.

And 10 years later, they have AP's best Milwaukee newscast. Did somebody say "screwed up"?

I'm with ya there -- but I wouldn't hold out too much hope.

Surprised no one mentioned "On The Cover" and "Balderdash" on this thread. Both operate on a "cable budget" and B-dash was already a popular board game before the TV version aired.

As a network claiming to be "the network for games", it wouldn't be a bad move for GSN to carry it.
