And all four syndie shows start their season on Sept. 12 this year. No Labor Day for "J!" and "Wheel" for the first time in eons.

I think in 2002 Jeopardy started its season the Monday after Labor Day because the week before that the final week of the Million Dollar Masters tournament was rerun.

In 2003, season 20 started the Monday after Labor Day. The MDM tournament was rerun the two weeks before season 20's premiere.

Thanks for reminding me about this. My apologies for saying what I said about 2002. (On Labor Day '02, in fact, I saw part of the J! season premiere at the bar of a Mexican restaurant outside Dayton, OH on my way to Indianapolis for the World Championship of Basketball.)
