Did USA always air full runs of shows or were some skipped, like i was thinking, PYL, TJW 90, SOTC?

$25K and $100K Pyramid were definitely shown in full (though some weeks of the former were skipped).

Was it ever confirmed whether or not the Michael Larson PYL shows aired on USA? I seem to recall there was a lot of debate as to whether it actually had, some people swore they saw it there at least once, others claiming they were certain CBS pull them from reruns.

AFAIK, not only was Larson pulled, but the entire first Home Player Spin contest surrounding it was skipped as well.

The first few weeks of PYL did not air on USA, neither did September 1986, and a chunk of episodes from early 1986, besides the month before Larsen and the first couple weeks after Larsen. USA's $ale airings were July 1988-March 1989(through 3/21) and the syndicated run. They aired the full run of Joker90 a good three times(ran 12/30/91-9/11/92 and 3/29/93-6/24/94). all of Scrabble aired save for the first 15 weeks, the Spelling format, and the last six months of the 80s run, and the 1993 run.

What About Davidson's Hollywood Squares?

What About Davidson's Hollywood Squares? After it was cancelled in 1989, USA quickly acquired rights to rerun the show until 1993. Knowing there were returning champions because of the car round, I don't believe they skipped any episodes, otherwise we would be wondering what happened to the previous champion. Of course I was only in my teens at the time so I may not be completely accurate recalling that far.

What About Davidson's Hollywood Squares? Davidson Squares started on USA on 9/11/1989 with the 1988-89 season, then IIRC they went to 1987-88 and then 1986-87. That would have taken the USA run up to late 1991 or early 1992 as there were IIRC 585 episodes of Davidson Squares. The show ran on USA for almost four years through 6/25/1993, I don't remember what seasons they showed in 1992-93, however.

Hey, AstreKid103090? If you want to throw some random schedule in a thread somewhere, make a thread for your own.

So was that a 84 ep reran on 7-17-86?

So was that a 84 ep reran on 7-17-86? PYL was in reruns on CBS from 7/28/86-8/29/86. College Week from Easter 1985 and four weeks of shows from Summer 1984 were what was rerun. New shows aired from 9/1-9/26/86 on CBS.

Ah. Thought it was for 2 months.
I know they never showed the last three to four weeks of shows on USA.
