I'm pretty sure GSN has never rerun the 90s Dating Games.

/and look, 600 posts. Woot.

Actually, GSN did rerun the late '90s run of the Dating Game w/Chuck but that version didn't appear in any special marathons or even as part of the Celebrity DG blocks. So 1999 was the last time Chuck's version has been reran. You might be confusing because you might've had GSN a little too late.

GSN did run the '90s episodes a few weeks behind their syndicated airing, so the Ryan Seacrest episode probably played at one point.

They ran one of the Cuba Gooding Jr episodes during the "Game of the Week" slot and I'm pretty sure the Mary Wilson episode aired at some point as they went through most of the primetime shows. I think I remember seeing it.

I don't recall seeing any of the others.

The Ryan Seacrest episode did run on GSN. None of the broadcast stations in my market picked up Woolery DG, so the only way I could have seen it was on GSN.

I have a couple more questions:
1)In Barbara Parkins' appearance, did she appear on the Color Primetime episode and was the purple wall repainted to white when her episode aired?
2)When Lee Majors made his October 13, 1966 appearance, didn't they continue to use that said purple wall behind pre-glasses Jim Lange?

Also, was April 3, 1967 the oldest daytime Dating Game episode to be rerun on GSN?

I realize that as game show fans, we can get into some pretty obscure things, the color of the Dating Game set wall in 1966?..That goes beyond obscre..but this is "Iris" were talking about..

They aired a lot of color daytime episodes and I think a few went as far back as '67, but unless it was mentioned on the show, or it had a celebrity guest that TVGuide listed, it's hard to pinpoint the exact airdates of many of these shows. I know they never aired any of the black and white daytimes, and I'd have to go back to check my old TVGuides to find the date they transitioned to color. I think it was around that time. I'll post back when I have time to look.

That's as clear as I can be...

When the show moved to afternoons on April 3, 1967 it was listed as being in color. Daytime episodes up to that point were B&W. There was a strike against the networks during that time which may have caused last-minute changes in the schedule. I remember ABC plugging in reruns of "The Farmer's Daughter" in daytime for a while, but I'm not sure which show it replaced.

Earlier this year, we discussed One in a Million having it's premiere delayed because of the strike.

Bannination!

Now regarding its opposite, "The Newlywed Game", April/May 1969 happened to be the oldest primetime episodes being rerun but the oldest daytime episode they reran was "72-006" which could well be January 11, 1972. Now, unlike The Dating Game, NG episodes from the ABC run hasn't been reran prior to the Y2Play Marathon they had. But again, it's very difficult to pinpoint the exact air dates of many episodes of the original NG.

Ah, but wasn't the word "bannination" itself marked as grounds for bannination?
