[quote name=\'JRaygor\' date=\'Jan 3 2006, 05:41 AM\']In fact, was there any network/syndie game shows (besides WOF, J! and TPIR) that were made/survived in 1992?

This lasted as long as Cosby YBYL and That's Amore, 9/92-9/93. IIRC Infatuation only did 13 weeks of first run shows, but still aired the full season in Philly on WGBS(now UPN) Channel 57. The Martindale-Hillier quasi-game show Why Didn't I Think of That, which showcased new inventors a la the Allen Ludden 70s pilot Smart Alecks, was a weekly syndie show debuted in Fall 1992 and actually survived two first-run seasons.

CBS and Syndie Feud survived through 1992, albeit CBS Feud expanded to an hour midway through the year and changed its name to FF Challenge, and Syndie Feud added the Bullseye round when the new season began in the Fall. NBC aired Classic Concentration, though it was all reruns, throughout 1992.

Umm, Zach, I remember for a fact seeing the show late in the 1991-92 season, thankyouverymuch.

So no you DON'T remember correctly.

Some more for the list, all from c. summer 1992:
-Bedroom Buddies (actually pretty close to Newlywed Game)
-Love at First Sight
-Personals
-Perfect Score
