Nothing special is scheduled for GSN's 25th anniversary.

Not playing the final three months of Press Your Luck and the 1984 episodes of The New $25,000 Pyramid remains their biggest blunders in my eyes.

Anyone else agree to me moving this to the GSN part of the board? Best fit there...

GSN's milestone 25th anniversary will be just a normal Sunday. Nothing special.
If anything, there will probably be just a series of short promos during splitscreened credits, and during commercial breaks, during the first weeks of December, to say the least.

There were a few commercials in the last couple of weeks with letters coming from GSN fans read by Joey Fatone or John Michael Higgins.

We'll enjoy the Steve Harvey lovefest you have planned for it, too, GSN.

This is so strange.
I have a clear memory of being in a bar in Hoboken, in the summer of 1994 watching a rerun of Super Password, that I would swear was on the Game Show Network. I recall being very excited that Super Password was on, because it was the first time I had seen it in reruns since it had gone off the air over five years earlier.
The memory is clear because of the unique circumstances of the weekend. There was a Saturday when I went to an afternoon NY Mets Game, catching a ride to the game with friends from work. I left the game with my brother, who happened to be attending with his future wife, and he dropped me off in Hoboken, where I met some other friends at a bar, where we hung out for the rest of the day (and watched Super Password, among other things). We left Hoboken very late, and I stayed the night at at their place in Jersey City.
According to the NY Mets 1994 schedule, the day must have been July 23, 1994, as the Mets hosted the Giants at 2 PM that day.
So, if I didn't see Super Password on Game Show Network, (which is impossible if the network was not on the air until December 1, 1994) where else could I have seen it? What other channel available in the New York area could I have seen a Super Password rerun on at that time?
(And I am 100% certain that the year was no later than 1994. The specific work friends that I went to the game with were people I only worked with until Feb. 1995. I rarely saw them after that time. Not only that, I went in with other friends on a beach house from 1995-1997, so I know I did not attend any weekend Mets games in those years.)

SUper Password didn't air in reruns anywhere after its cancellation until GSN started airing it in 12/94

Family Feud was near the end of its 1988-1995 run with Richard Dawson’s return as a host for its 1994-95 season. When GSN started airing the 1977-85 syndicated version of Family Feud in 12/94, the 1988-95 version was canceled.

SUper Password didn't air in reruns anywhere after its cancellation until GSN started airing it in 12/94 Then I am sooo confused. The most obvious explanation is that I am remembering the Super Password portion of that weekend incorrectly. As far as the dates, I am even more confident they are correct after verifying some details I recalled about the Yankees game I watched the next day. But the memory is so clear. I loved Super Password so much when it was on in the 1980's, and seeing it that weekend (or at least thinking I did) made me committed to the idea of watching the Game Show Network at the first opportunity, which came 2.5 years later when I moved to a location that had Game Show Network available. I am tempted to call "Fake News" on the Game Show Network debut date of 12/1/1994, and want to claim that it came at least five months earlier, but without any external evidence, I am reluctantly forced to concede for now that I must be remembering incorrectly.
