The playlist only goes through January or early February 1989. I thought I recall some GSN reruns from April and/or May 1989 that are not on the playlist? And I did remember seeing one of the uploads from the New York week, and I believe it aired in May 2002. I also may remember seeing an episode on GSN in the summer of 2002.
Interesting to learn about the clearance issues with Kool and the Gang with regards to Seasons 5 and 6 vs. a portion of Vanna's arrival song. It sounds like Kool and the Gang want to be paid a lot of money for their work, which is holding back the release of Seasons 5 and 6 on Pluto.
The rest of the 6th season is on Jarvisabrodie1989's Internet Archive site.

Celebration has been cleared many times, pretty sure it was even a Showcase cue on TPIR on Pluto, too, so I'm surprised about them being the roadblock for WOF Seasons 5 & 6 and Pluto.

They could do like they do on the Carson Tonight Show streaming channel where they mute out the music Doc and band play during guest intros and skit openings. The same could be done for the I'm A Wheel Watcher cue as well I am pretty sure.

Just want to ask, what album by Kool and the Gang was "I'm a Wheel Watcher" from? It doesn't sound like anything from the disco era.
And I did learn that "Celebration" was not only heard as a Showcase cue, but also during the closing credits for the New Year's Eve 1982 episode. Interestingly enough, GameTV skipped the New Year's Eve 1982 episode of TPIR - I wonder if GameTV couldn't afford to pay royalties for "Celebration"?
Either way, I really am happy that music clearance issues didn't stop GSN from airing Season 6, otherwise I would never have gotten a chance to see that third New York episode that I missed due to my harsh punishment and I even had a massive tantrum over it. Surprising that my mother never banned me from watching WOF afterwards.

^ The song was based on the The O'Kaysions' one hit wonder titled "Girl Watcher". It looks like it was that groups only hit and it looks like it hit gold record status. I hear it all the time on the 60's Gold channel on SiriusXM. Kool and The Gang redid the song in 1987 but it looks like it was only for Wheel Of Fortune. I don't think it was ever part of an album and I don't know if it was ever released as a single. If anyone here has better info, please share it.

Over 100 (so far) fresh JEOPARDY! episodes added to Pluto ON-DEMAND, including Alex's final episode #8310. I see some from Season 36 added and Season 37 category has been added with a bunch.
Also, Season 2 of CRAM has been added as well...
There may be other titles to comb through on their platform to see if there are any new additions.

Love Triangle has been added, all 32 episodes as well as the entire rest of Season 3 of Baggage is on there too and Mind of a Man is in there minus the first 10 taped episodes.

Great news for us Canadians as the Pluto channels include episodes not in GameTV’s rotation. Previously I had access to a US stream of TBE that GSC had posted the link for on the forum about a year until it got geoblocked. Now if only we could get that MST3K channel back
