Very error, with years of precedent.

How does that compare with the average of what useta run in that slot? 200k for 6:30 in the morning is quite a lot.

 


/well done viewers, you\'ve found something good and stuck with it. Salute.


PYL was doing similar numbers when it was on a half hour later. At 9, it averaged about 186K last week, so both shows are holding their own. Glad to see after their less than auspicious starts.

Did anyone else notice that on the 5/15 episode, the first instant bargain had a less-than-subtle parody of Vanna White (even making the prize backdrop resemble the old WoF turntable)?


I should know this, but was WoF still airing on NBC daytime at this time?

Wheel had ended the daytime run on NBC June 20, 1989 [citation needed], so the two shows were coexisting at the time.

It was actually June 30.  June 20 was a Tuesday.

Thank you for the correction, Doug. Since SOTC left the air before Wheel left NBC, the main point still stands.

No question.  I was responding to the \"citation needed\" portion of the post. :)

Had the entire question been asked when the second player buzzed in?

Yes, Jim even said he was at the end of the question when the third contestant asked why he didn\'t get a chance to guess.

I happened to stumble upon today\'s episode, and I caught it just as Jim said, \"...We look forward to you joining us. Call quick.\" Without chuckle or audience reaction, he went straight back to the game after a quick score recap. (I personally find it noteworthy because this is the first time I\'ve seen this situation, after hearing so much about it here.)


 


As for the gameplay, has there ever been an instance in which there was a three-way tie going into Instant Ca$h? The first contestant bravely (and very quickly) decided to fall behind by $10 to go for $4,000, which paid off nicely.

So that\'s when the \"Call quick\" aired.  I sense a signature change coming.


As to the spoiler point, I kinda sorta understand why what happened happened.

New PDFs have been released, and even though they go up to the end of June, they will be showing #1577, second-to-last episode.


 


Also on the Press Your Luck front, the last new-to-GSN episodle of 1984 airs on June 19, and episodes #110 and #111 air in the next two respective days. The show then goes back to #052. I\'m guessing they picked those two up in order to make up for the two they skipped over.


 


On the subject of PYL, one of the two they skipped over in this current lease, #066, turned out to be a trashed episode (meaning it was thrown-out during the original run). The episode was supposed to air on 12/21/1983, but for whatever reason, it didn\'t go as well as they hoped it would, so the decision was made to trash it, bring back the same three contestants, and tape a new episode, #067, to replace it. Kinda like the 2nd-taped episode of The New Price is Right with Bob Barker.


 


Later on, I\'m gonna post a list of all the episodes of PYL prior to 02/21/1984. Ian Wallis has been very appreciative of my efforts.

Okay, you\'ve piqued my interest -- I\'d love to see this, even if it\'s just a picture or two.

What episode number/OAD was this?

1543, 1/19/89.  The rest you\'re on your own.

That\'s nothing but speculation.  All we know is episode number #066 was not used.  We don\'t know the reason why.

You were much quicker to the keyboard than I, as I was thinking the exact same thing. :)
