Well, after looking at Wikipedia (and taking this at face value)

Remember, Wikipedia is only as good as its contributors. Some genius keeps pirating a photo from my site of Connie Selleca on the Marshall Hollywood Squares, contributing it to Wikipedia and insisting it's from the Davidson version. How do I know they're wrong? Because it's a screen capture from a 1970s promo I have on VHS tape.

As for the hour long slots--has it occurred to anyone that their #1 may take up an hour with back to back episodes?

Well, I've been working on the 50GGS page at Wikipedia since the start, and I'm making sure everything is factually accurate, which, at this point in time, it is.

I think that's a slam dunk.

Hey! I mentioned it first! =P

I've got a strong feeling that that's what we may be seeing today. Hopefully it is because I've never seen the Larsen episodes in their original form (Without a documentary or extra footage attached to it)

Now, Chad. Be nice, or I won't let you play the Pop Quiz.

Sorry, Mr. Game Show Host. (By the way, I'm from Kearsley.. The same team with the slightly off-balanced Kari Seitz. =D)

Slightly?

I look forward to seeing you in the fall, and in the meantime, welcome aboard the Forum!

Then it's as good as you are and you are a good man.

Is this allowed? If I were friends with Alex Trebek, I couldn't be on Jeopardy, right?

Well, our rules are a lot, LOT looser. Non-existent, actually. At least one other member of our forum has played QuizBusters, as has the daughter of the station's sound engineer, the son of one of our volunteer scorekeepers, a girl who lives about five houses down from me, and of course the students that I deal with directly at Okemos High School. That's off the top of my head, there are probably other relationships that would give a network S&P guy fits.

Hey guys I'm new...

and here's my preiction for tonight...

I am guessing they MAY dedicate this hour to Pyramid...showing first the $10K/$20K version and then the $100k version. If not..we'll probably see the PYL Larson episodes.

And, besides, it's not like we go out every morning and have a cup of coffee. We're just contacts on a message board.

Cool. That means I can be on Quizbusters!

All I need are two other people, right? Quizbusters is a battle of the sexes game that has a young former-DJ host that really comes off as weak on the air, right?

Or do I have my shows mixed up again.

Connecti-Matt....now broadcasting on the banniation room's ABC affiliate.

Everyone knows the Larsen episodes. That's why they'll get run. But PYL's true energy and drama comes in one of those classic spin wars.

I'm hoping the #13 hour is for TAR.

You really want TAR, which isn't a game show (though, admittedly, more of one than The $1.98 Beauty Show is) on this list? Seriously?
