I\'m assuming nobody\'s made the one mistake they were allowed and still *somehow* managed to win anyway, correct?

I haven\'t seen every episode, but given that your margin for error is wafer theen I\'m thinking that\'s a safe bet.

Would that apply for a pass as well (at least an early one)?

Recently, I had the 1988 Oscar-winning film Rain Man in mind. A clip from an episode of $ale was used. So I watched the film, and to my surprise, the episode it turned out they used was from another one of Rani White\'s episodes. Her opponents there were Lisa and Richard.

So now that we\'re a month in, I\'m curious as to what numbers $ale is pulling for GSN ratings wise.

So now that we\'re a month in, I\'m curious as to what numbers $ale is pulling for GSN ratings wise.

Ratings came out for last week, the fourth week it\'s been on the network (courtesy Douglas Pucci), and it had a very good week compared to those previous, with a range of 203,000 - 158,000 viewers, averaging 184,000 viewers in its 9:30AM ET slot.


Week one average: 132,000 viewers

Week two average: 138,000 viewers

Week three average: 129,000 viewers

The new PDFs are out on Casey Abell\'s site (Game Show Follies). The last one says they will be skipping over #1552-#1553 and #1556. They began with #1496, and so far, they have skipped over #1503-#1505, #1516, #1521-#1530, and #1534.


 


This might seem like a blessing in disguise, though, because it seems like they are gonna show the last three episodes of the final week after all. But of course, anything can change till then.


 


According to SuperMatch93, the most recent NBC episode USA showed was from Tuesday of the final week. Then they switched over to the Syndicated run, before switching back to the last six months by spring 1994.

I\'m also going by a few mentions online that 1,578 episodes were produced. We\'re starting with #1499... adding 65 to that only gets 1,564.

Doing some adding on Excel, 1578 indeed was the last episode.


 


We skip two weeks for At Rona\'s and also there was no ep 1/20/89 (Bush I Inaugaration).  So the PDFs we\'re up to get through the 2/9/89 episode (1557).

I have a couple of theories to explain as to why those last six months on NBC and the syndicated run were the only episodes USA aired.


 


My first theory: In 1991, USA began making deals with Reg Grundy Productions, starting with reruns of Scrabble. Reruns were a ratings success, so USA decided to pursue $ale a year later. USA chose to lease for roughly 130 (give or take a bit) from the last six months, and the syndicated run. But ratings were not as successful as Scrabble, and were only on for 2 years, compared to Scrabble which was on for 4 years, giving USA plenty of time to air almost all of that show.


 


My second theory: Those last six months and the syndicated may not be all that exists, as Mitt Dawson claimed, but rather the only ones Reg Grundy America (now part of Fremantlemedia North America) had the rights to, and all the others from the 1980s NBC run are owned by Fremantlemedia Australia (which Grundy Television is a part of). But then how did GSN get Who Dares Wins a decade ago?

Apologies if it was stated earlier in the thread, but during which two weeks did At Rona\'s air?

Thanks.  I\'m recording the whole 65 episode lease, and I like for my discs to include airdates and whatnot.  I can get really geeky about that sort of thing.

Was thinking Kerry should\'ve been playing for $9,000 today...guess that explains it.  Wonder why they\'re skipping episodes that aren\'t \'holiday themed\'?

What holiday falls on a Friday in early January? Today\'s skipped episode should have been from January 6, 1989.
