Title: Match Game year changes

Did GSN run just the year-change episodes all in a row? (If so, it was before I got the channel.)

I'm pretty sure they did one in 1998 or '99. Maybe a New Year's Day marathon?

Back in 1998, when I was doing tape trades (before I got what used to be Game Show Network), I managed to get a marathon of those MG '7X New Year's specials. I think it must have been in 1996 or 1997. And it was on a weekend before the New Year's holiday.

Cordially,
Tammy

They actually did this several times - the last time being New Year's Eve 1998.  Unfortuantely that time they screwed up the '76 episode and didn't show Mark Goodson's appearance.
