I've seen the list. I don't know if it's officially shared with the public yet, so I won't post it here. Once again (and unsurprisingly) there doesn't appear to be anything that's not already been on GSN. Most of it is available on YouTube for viewing any time you want. I know for certain there are no new Secret episodes. And believe me, I would know.

Thank you, Matt. This has been an annual tradition I look forward to but I wonder why they don’t bring out (lease) different stuff.

For whatever reason, my cable system (Xfinity) isn't even showing it on the schedule at all yet even being a week out. But some other systems do have the info already and I'm already interested in the Bruner WML with Norman Rockwell and the IGAS from the first or second year? Sounds like only the first week of information is available.

Discerning choices. The Rockwell one may very well have never aired on GSN before. I don't know WML like I know Secret. The Mantle episode has been shown before, but possibly not in a long time (plus I'm not finding it on YouTube, though I could fix that). Because it's so early in the run, the make-up of the panel is weird. Jayne is the only one that we would consider a "regular". Bill was off that week, and Henry and Faye had yet to join the show.

As I understand it, nobody wants to go to the trouble and expense of transferring new shows for a silly stunt that airs at three in the morning. I believe that even the digitized product that GSN originally transferred is approaching obsolescence now because of the rapid changes and format shift in digital broadcasting. Consider this: In 2024, we are as far away from GSN's launch in 1994 as they were at the time from the tail end of that black and while kinescope era.

Besides the syndicated episodes, I was very surprised at how accurate the date and guest information was in my guide. GSN supplied them with good information this time.

According to GSN's online schedule, the last day has a Blyden WML? with Peter Marshall as the mystery guest and an IGAS from the 1972-73 season with Charles Nelson Reilly.

Catching up on some things about these airings. When I went to watch the New Year's Day 1962 episode of IGAS with Dick Van Dyke as the guest, GSN fades immediately from Dick Van Dyke saying "I've Got a Secret" and the opening notes of the theme to the first contestant telling Garry their secret. There's really barely enough time to even read what the secret is without pausing the show. It looks like it has aired this way on Buzzr in the past and apparently way back on Game Show Network previously. Though at least on Game Show Network, they'd at least play through the theme and the sponsor (Dream Whip) before then cutting to that same point.
Did it ever air normally on GSN? Or was this some edit done to the show before it was converted for whatever reason? Just such an odd edit to completely remove the host and panel introductions. Especially when one of the regular panelists wasn't even there that week.
-
Watching an early episode of Line (MG Artie Shaw, panelists include Untermeyer and Hoffman) where everyone is talking over each other and Secret (original set up with the jury box and twice down the panel at ten dollars a throw) you could be excused thinking that the panel game was destined for the dustbin of history instead of being a classical pillar of the genre.

I have a copy of that episode directly from GSN's digital copies (in other words, not what was recorded off GSN) and yeah, weirdly, the host and panel and game one contestant introductions just aren't on that recording. It has the entirety of the Dream Whip bumper, and then goes straight to the secret. Cannot imagine any reason for them to have deliberately omitted it, so my guess is that it's either not on the kinescope or the kinescope was damaged at that point and they couldn't recover that minute or so.
