A correction to the MGHS Wiki guide: Angela played for $30,000 with Gloria Loring on the Monday show of week 23, so she won $1,000 in the Audience Match, not $500. I remember this episode vividly from when it first aired. When Gloria revealed the 30, she said that she had given away the second $30,000 ever. The question was "Leo BLANK." Angela's answer was "Caruso," and Gloria's was "the lion." Am I correct in understanding that these details relate to the BUZZR skipped episode # 109?
My notes also indicate a $500 win for this day, but I think this was based on me deciding to allocate the $1,350 that Angela won on #109 as $850 in HS, and $500 in the Super Match, which, coincidentally, is exactly the amounts she won on # 108. This new information changes that to $350 in HS (a reasonable amount for the HS winner to earn), and $1,000 in the Super Match.
pyramidfan, if you remember any other details, like the square GL was sitting in for the H2H match, etc., please share!
In my memory, the grid order was the same on Monday and Friday, so Gloria was sitting in the "Lox Box."

For Week #25, it appears that once again, Johnny Olson filled in for Gene Wood from Wednesday-Friday. I don't know if Gene was called away to do Family Feud. On Week #24, Rayburn said it was late in March, and MGHS taped a little over a week before broadcasting.
April 1, 1984 was the taping of the Battle of the Hollywood Models Week on the Syndicated version of Family Feud (aired on most NBC affiliates, including WNBC, during the week of May 7 of that year).

If Monday's and Friday's positions were completely matched, that would also confirm what GR inferred on episode 110; that Roxie Roker and Judy Landers did not play MG on 109, as GR greeted them as "New Kids on the Block" on 110.

It's from Peter Marshall's book about "Hollywood Squares." He and others on the show referred to the bottom-middle square as "The Lox Box" because its occupants got called on so infrequently that the celebrity often just sat there like a lox for the entire half-hour.

Unbeknownst to me for a couple of months, someone posted the taping schedule at NBC Burbank for April 1984. MGHS is listed. I didn't see it on eBay, and I check there like every single day for game show stuff to add to Fandoms. It must have come from the uploader's personal collection; I first saw it in the photo gallery for $ale of the Century on the Game Show Fandom. Anyways, I have since included the taping dates in the episode guide.

I don't know if this was an open question or not, but it seems safe to assume that every five episode week taped two episodes on Saturday, and three on Sunday. This is consistent with the mid-week announcer split, which was always Gene Wood for two episodes on Saturday, and then Johnny O for three on Sunday.
Also, looking at the episode guide, it seems that, even if there is no direct confirmation, it would be safe to assume that episodes 99-103 were taped on March 10 and 11, 1984.

Going by this logic -- which seems sound -- weeks 13-17 would have been taped on 1/14 & 15, 1/21 & 22, 1/28 & 29, 2/4 & 5, and 2/11 & 12, respectively. (Again, no proof of this -- just a theory.) Also, in episode 46, Gene Rayburn mentions that the day before, Christie Claridge appeared on an episode of "Fantasy Island." I checked IMDb, and her episode aired on 12/10/83, so I'm guessing that week 10 was taped on 12/11. Since there were only four shows that week, it's possible that they taped all of them in one day, as opposed to the usual split schedule.

Adding to this, episodes 159-160 were most likely taped on May 19, 1984, with episodes 161-163 probably being recorded on the 20th. I remember Gene Rayburn mentioning on 161 that it was George Gobel's birthday, and he gave George a cupcake. George's birthday was May 20th, so Gene must have been referring to the VTR date, not the air date.

Which episode of the NBC Soaps Week had been on the trading circuit before? The Wednesday episode. However, about 15 years ago, the Tuesday episode was on World of Soap Themes.

Didn't know the World of Soap Themes had the full May 8, 1984 episode Brendan, it's been so long but I don't think World of Soap Themes has that episode any longer and the site is defunct. But I do know the Wednesday episode of the Salute to the Fifties week is in the trading circuit(Episode #141).

So Gene pretty much gave away the taping date of the NBC Soaps Week. He said "the day before Easter", which was April 22. That means this week was taped 21-22. Though this makes me confused. Wouldn't the second Telephone Match have been taped after the plugs were run during the week of May 7?

Blane retired undefeated with about $37,000 on the episode that was skipped. Wonder how she got there in Super Match and Head-to-Head? pyramidfan do you remember?

Unfortunately, no, but she had $35,425 going into her last day, so if the $37,000-ish figure is accurate, she either got the $1,000 Audience Match answer and missed the Head To Head or struck out in the Audience Match and got $1,000 in the Head To Head.
I do remember that Carlo Imperato was in the center square that day.
