At the end of the 1976 episode, in the next week's guests preview segment, I tried to squint at the Guest Pass on Charles' shirt to make out what it says. Since episodes #0816-#0820/PM #051 were taped on September 18, I'm assuming the Guest Pass says September 19. The first digit looked like a "1".

Very nice job of GSN today of the Thanksgiving Marathon for both Pyramid and Match Game. GSN snuck in MG74 #328 and MG76 #820, episodes that Buzzr does not have right now. GSN also aired MG78 #1228 today too. Good stuff!

I can tell the Susan/Brett/Christine show originally had a ticket plug, because I heard Whammies laughing in the audience, when it came back from commercial.
I hope it won't be long before Buzzr adds new episodes.

Even though Match Game is the only old show on the network, the annual tradition of the panel shows in the latenight will continue the week of December 17th.
To start of with, What's My Line? will be the February 10, 1957 episode, while I've Got A Secret will be the April 23, 1962 episode. I imagine this will run for two weeks like it usually does.

If that goes well will the classics ever comeback plus I'm keeping my fingers crossed

We’ll have to keep our eyes peeled. Casey does not get advanced schedules anymore, and no one else has that info right now. Just keep watching the website.

If that goes well will the classics ever comeback plus I'm keeping my fingers crossed This has been a tradition of GSN for a long time now to air What's My Line? and I've Got a Secret for two weeks in December for the Christmas season, in the 3:00AM ET hour. The numbers in that time slot for those shows in the past number of years have always been, well, typical for that hour. Usually averaging over 100K viewers or worse, or if lucky, once in awhile maybe 200K but GSN has to be lucky as hell to get that number at 3AM. People have been saying for years (since 2009 or 2010) based on schedule changes that "if this goes well maybe we'll see more classics come back". GSN has tried lots of things over the years and nothing has really worked. That "Flashback Fridays" experiment didn't pan out in 2011, or recently "Saturday night Classics". Can't say GSN didn't try. Nothing works quite like reliable Steve or other great ratings grabbers. But it's always a great treat when GSN airs these black and white classics once a year. I'm not complaining.

I'm complaining. Well, I'm not torturing myself, I don't even watch GSN anymore except when they show "new" Match Games or when they'd show "new" Card Sharks. As for GSN giving it the old college try at bringing back old classics, that's a joke in itself. Their most recent "try" lasted, uh, one week, or was it 2? Boy, now that's giving it a real chance isn't it. If they're interested in ratings they'd take off that God awful Harvey crap and run classic game shows from the '60's EVERY night of the week, strip broadcasting style. Running one show once or twice is hardly an audience builder. It's OK, I just don't watch that lousy channel anymore.

I'm willing to bet that an Aretha Franklin will be one And you'd be correct. That will be the next night. I've Got A Secret will be with Vic Damone. It's from April 1963. So this looks to be so far an in memoriam 2018

If they're interested in ratings they'd take off that God awful Harvey crap and run classic game shows from the '60's EVERY night of the week, strip broadcasting style. Uh, have you seen the ratings for Steve Harvey Feud? Last time I've seen the ratings it was GSN's best performer, and obviously still is if it's still on pretty much every night of the week. GSN will continue to run it down peoples throats until the Nielsen's say that the show is past its prime on GSN. It doesn't look like that's happening anytime soon. Yes, it did last one or two, maybe even three weeks, I can't remember either to be honest. But GSN figured they probably had seen enough and didn't want to see the experiment bomb any longer. Harvey gets better ratings than the old classics. We may not agree with the facts, but GSN is in the ratings business. Of course, I don't necessarily agree with GSN having "variety" like some people might think on other websites. Their argument is "well GSN runs 12 different shows during the weekday and 8 different shows on weekends (20 total for the week). I might be a little off on the numbers. Yeah, theres one airing of Harvey Feud between 8am and 6pm ET during the weekdays, which isn't bad. And on weekends theres no Harvey between 9am and 5:30pm ET which is pretty good, there are (some mini) marathons of Newlywed Game (Sat), Cash Cab for the most part though. It's still overshadowed by Harvey Feud in the evenings though, especially during the week when there are people who work and don't sit home during the day to watch GSN's daytime shows and they turn it on in the evening and say "oh, hey, there's Harvey Feud again." Can't deny that it's a huge hit on GSN and the Nielsen's though.
