I can't make out the copyright date on the Audrey Landers & Bruce Baum week. On Patty Duke & Rip Taylor, it says MCMLXXXVIII.
1988 recordings ended with Phyllis Diller & Ron Masak, and 1989 ones began with Emma Samms & Ken Kercheval and ended with the finale.

A listing posting by a Librarian of what aired on WNBC-TV for October 25, 1988 confirmed that the Halloween week with Rebeca Arthur & Pat Sajak was taped on September 30, 1988. A friend shared that e-mail to me.
Side note, but the Librarian also confirmed the following to have aired on October 25, 1988:
10:00 AM: Sale of the Century (Show# 1484; Taped 10/7/1988)
10:30 AM: Classic Concentration (Show# 370)
11:00 AM: Wheel of Fortune (Show# 3514; Taped 9/13/1988)
11:30 AM: Win, Lose or Draw (Show# 2053)
12:00 PM: Super Password (Show# 1051; Taped 9/30/1988
12:30 PM: Scrabble (Show# 1099)
For Scrabble, the fact that #1099 aired on that day, and considering the preemptions being identical to Super Password from September 1987 to March 1989, and to Classic Concentration from March 1989 to March 1990, was how I came to the conclusion that the original 1984-1990 version had a total of 1,458 episodes.

According to the episode guide, there was no pre-emption for Super Password on Thanksgiving Day or the day after in 1988. But Wheel of Fortune was pre-empted on both days. Is this correct?

Regarding Scrabble, I have a question about that Thanksgiving week:
Did Scrabble have a celebrity week on that Thanksgiving Week in 1988?

Both shows aired on that day, too.

So it was only everything before noon ET that was pre-empted? Or only the 11:00 hour? According to the episode guide, there was no pre-emption for Super Password on Thanksgiving Day or the day after in 1988. But Wheel of Fortune was pre-empted on both days. Is this correct?

Classic Concentration(9/4/1987 rerun) and Caesar's CHallenge, which NBC had technically scheduled from Noon-1PM EST at that point, did air on Thanksgiving day 1993 for those stations that were still clearing them.

Buzzr's airings of the Jenilee Harrison & Marty Cohen week confirm it was still December 1985. So 1986 tapings began with Kim Miyori & Bill Cullen.
That leaves 1988, in which I have no idea what week was the first one taped.

Does Buzzr show the slates? Buzzr's airings of the Jenilee Harrison & Marty Cohen week confirm it was still December 1985. So 1986 tapings began with Kim Miyori & Bill Cullen. That leaves 1988, in which I have no idea what week was the first one taped. |

That leaves 1988, in which I have no idea what week was the first one taped. I can offer a little help. Newspaper articles say that the episodes with "Patrick Quinn" were taped in December 1987, and when Vicki Lawrence and Stuart Pankin were on two weeks later, Stuart made a joke about the Quinn story, which broke on January 15th. So either the Patty Duke/Rip Taylor week or the Lawrence/Pankin week was the first to be taped in 1988. |

In that case, this video should confirm that Patty Duke/Rip Taylor was taped in January 1988. |
