Sorry if the title was a little confusing (character limitations). rewindium you might be interested in this thread. A subject I just thought of was examples of popular game shows that were rerun in the 21st century, but the final episodes haven't been rerun. Here's which ones I know of for sure (NOTE: I'm not talking about shows that had a short run of only a few months): Press Your Luck (the 700's, June-September 1986, have yet to be rerun.) Tattletales (1974-1978 version) (the final episodes of the first version from March 1978, maybe April if there were any unaired ones, haven't been rerun yet. Only the final episodes of the second version have been.) The Joker's Wild (neither the final episodes of the CBS run, nor the final episodes of the Syndicated run, have been rerun.) Win, Lose or Draw (only the Season 1 and early Season 2 episodes with Bert Convy have been rerun. They never showed the rest of Season 2 and Robb Weller Season, nor the Daytime version.) The Hollywood Squares (1971-1981 Syndicated episodes) (GSN was supposedly in possession of the last season, the one where they were at The Riviera in Las Vegas, but they never showed it.) If there are any others you can add to the list, please do. The All New Let's Make a Deal, Tic-Tac Dough (Caldwell), and $ale of the Century (Syndicated) used to be on this list, but thankfully, they were eventually rerun in 2020, 2021, and 2023-2024 respectively.

All New Beat the Clock and (Celebrity) Whew are two of them and in both cases were really close to the final episodes when rerun

The $20,000 Pyramid is one show I would have mentioned, but the reason I didn't is because I have no idea what exactly the 260 episodes that exist at Sony consist of, and because of that, I have no idea if the final month, June 1980 (#1561-#1580), exists at Sony. GSN only showed it regularly during the so-called "Dark Period" from October 1997 to April 1998 before dropping it.

NBC nighttime version of Cullen Price is another one. Both Buzzr and GSN ran the second to last episode from Aug 30, 1963 but not the following week’s finale. It is otherwise online from Winkco on Youtube. Wordplay too despite Buzzr only showing the first three episodes, another show for which the finale is in the open

Break The Bank and Bumper Stumpers both come to mind as well, the latter had a Tournament of Champions being the proposed finale, but, we don't know when its 3rd season began and when did the ToC begin, sources say that the ToC began the same day as the Couch Potatoes, The New Hollywood Squares and Wipeout reruns premiered on USA(September 11, 1989). I think Break The Bank is now the closest to reach the finale episode, Beat The Clock used to have that distinction.
