The Match Game Skips Guide

[Chameleonwhammy]

Well, as we know, GSN usually skips some Match Game episodes. So, here's what GSN usually skips. I know a lot of these don't air, but they might. Either way, here's a helpful guide, which was created by someone else (and he [FACEO15] gets the credit). Here's what they are.

And also some Steve Kanaly episodes.

I recall Chuck Donegan stating that Jimmie Walker said he was not notified from GSN about them skipping his daily Syn. episodes.

Someone asked Walker years ago and he said he had no idea why they were skipping them.  Probably just an error on their part to be honest.

I noticed Chameleonwhammy hasn't posted in quite a while. Whatever happened to him?

MG79
1406------ Guich Koock, BS, CNR, DS, Paul Williams, BW
(ep. is damaged)

Hi, first time poster here!

First thing: GSN has skipped 1362 & 1365 the last two cycles through MG78.


Next, I have been tracking the activity in MG79, and  I was hoping there might be some way to find out what happened in 1406. Based on the information from 1405 and 1407, I have inferred the following:

- Champ Slyvia Saveer played the H2H match twice. The first time was to complete the bonus round from 1405, and the second time was following the game she won on 1406.
- She played the Super Match once, winning $250.
- She won one H2H match for $5,000, and lost the other.
- She either won the first H2H match, or won the second H2H match with the double activated.


If anyone has any of the following information, that would be great!

- Which celebs played the H2H match?
- What were the H2H match questions, and what was the Super Match Question and responses?
- What was the name of the contestant who lost on 1406, and what was the score?

Regarding the name of the contestant who lost on 1406, I think it might be Vic Slotto. He lost a game that finished on 1422, and when introduced, GR indicated that he was being brought back after having lost previously. However, my MG79 contestant listing does not include Vic Slotto. So I am inferring that he lost on 1406, since it is the most recent "hole" where he could fit. (Alternately, he may have lost on either 1362 or 1365.)

Thanks in advance!!!

Watching 1421 now, from the GSN replay from 3/10/16 at 8 PM. GR has just introduced Vic, saying, "He was on once before, and there was a little something goofy that went on...and to be perfectly fair to Vic, we said 'Why don't you come back'..."

In looking back on my notes (compiled from recent GSN airings), I am also missing the names of the losing contestants from shows 2 and 5 of the last full week of MG 78. So its possible Vic lost on one of those shows; those eps are not listed in the skips guide, so I assume they have aired at some point. I guess I will look for them on YT...

I should be able to gather from my collection the missing information you need this weekend, if you haven't already.

[dare2be]

#1362 and #1365 may not be in the skips guide, but they were skipped in this current GSN lease. I do not have them in my collection.

[dare2be]

If I'm not mistaken, BUZZR is airing #1281 right now.

Is it really? I hope!

Though then again, GSN always skipped episode 7 from 1973, same thing with Comedy Gold in Canada.

[dare2be]

It should be replayed at 11:00pm Eastern.

I have uploaded MG78-1281. PM me for the link.

I have found Vic Zlotto! I am watching from my DVR the MG78 episode that BUZZR aired on 4/17/2016, at 7AM ET, and there is Vic. I don't know the episode number, but it is from an airdate of April/May 78 (the week with Sarah Purcell). Apparently he lost on MG78, then came back on to lose on a MG79 show that I have as aired on 3/27/79.

Vic was introduced in #1203 and lost in #1204. Now you have episode numbers. Would you care to share your notes on contestants? I could probably help with filling in any missing details as I have most episodes recorded from #121 - #1455.
