Is tomorrow's edition of PIR on the Gameshow Marathon going to be the first to NOT carry the Mark Goodson logo?

No. When it was Goodson-Todman, the logo (which I had first seen on Password home games of the '60s) did not appear. It was only after it became just MGP that they started to use a logo on the shows themselves.

I don't think the MGP logo appears on the various non-US versions either.

Perhaps I phrased my question incorrectly. Is tomorrow night's GS Marathon PIR the first Price not identified as a Mark Goodson Production?

Not that I see what possible difference it could make, but I guess I'm wondering what makes you absolutely, positively sure that tomorrow's TPIR won't be identified as a Mark Goodson Production in some way.

I'd be more interested to know if/how PYL & LMAD are identified.

"PYL" doesn't matter--Fremantle owns the show.

I would assume the credits will contain a "licensed by Monty Hall Enterprises" credit or some such.

In response to Matt's question, I am not sure of anything. Price is the last program regularly itentified as a Goodson production, if in name only. The Goodson logo was only flashed on the screen during MG '98 and is no longer used on Feud. I always thought Fremantle would retire the credit, eventually. Therefore, I am inquiring if the version of Price airing as part of the GSM would or would not carry the Goodson credit.

Is this marathon to be as authentic as possible with TPiR beeing on air every day on a network to boot I think it will carry the logo.

The other Goodson shows I dont know.

Well, that's a little different, I guess. So the new question is: Why would you think we would know that before it airs?

Why would it? GSM isn't a Goodson production (and TPiR is being played as part of a series of games, if I understand the concept correctly, so the show itself probably wouldn't carry the credit).

My own speculation--YMMV.

I was wondering more if they would keep the "Carruthers Company Presentation" at the end for authenticity, even though it's a Fremantle show.

I just happy that the proudcers are giving us reasonable repoductions of the sights and sounds. I think most of the members don't give two whits if the show has the original production company logo run during credits.

Unfortunately, no.

With that kind of thinking you guys would go nuts at the ammount of times PiR and other gameshows changed production companies here in the UK. Games have even had to change thier names due to it.
