One thing that comes to my mind, could the reason for skipping the 12/21/1987 episode likely be due to an ostrich on the set attacking Lacey, which may be disturbing to some viewers? I wasn't disturbed by it, but maybe someone or a minority group complained to GSN about it. The episode was last shown in 2003. I believe the incident occurred during one of the first two segments of the show. Jared Oswald had the 12/21/1987 episode on YouTube back in 2013, and I downloaded it in a flash. I hope my external hard drive is still working, and if it is, I will gladly upload it to my YouTube channel but will share the link privately.
The clip was shown during one of the first four Most Outrageous Game Show Moments specials in 2002 or 2003. I never got to see the fifth installment.
Also, a while back, I mentioned the possibility of a pre-emption in September 1987 due to coverage of Pope John Paul II's arrival to the U.S. It kind of makes me wonder if it was just a claim, or basing it on intuition, and I may have missed an episode on my Wiki episode guide, which may have thrown the dates off? I remember reading on someone's tape collection that there was information on the majority of the 1987 Christmas-decorated episodes, but one episode may not have been accounted for. I wonder if there was a nationwide preemption other than January 1, 1988 during that two week period in favor of special programming, since Christmas Day that year fell on a long weekend?
Vahan mentioned to me on Facebook a while back that Card Sharks was pre-emptied a total of 19 times during the CBS run.
Here are the pre-emptions we know about:
7/4/1986: Coverage of the Statue of Liberty's 100th anniversary. 11/27-11/28/1986: Thanksgiving programming 1/1/1987: Tournament of Roses Parade 7/7-7/15/1987: Coverage of the Oliver North testimony. 11/26-11/27/1987: Thanksgiving programming 1/1/1988: Tournament of Roses Parade 11/24-11/25/1988: Thanksgiving programming 1/2/1989: Tournament of Roses Parade (since January 1 fell on a Sunday) 1/20/1989: Coverage of George H.W. Bush's inauguration.
I believe that is 18 pre-emptions we definitely know about. If we see a different audience polling group on the 9:00 a.m. ET airing on Thursday, December 21, or Bob wishes everyone a happy new year at the end of the latter airing on Friday, December 22, then we solved the mystery on the 19th preemption i was trying to figure out.
I do remember seeing non-stop coverage of the Oliver North testimony around July 1987. I vividly remember there being commercials involved in such coverage, which is very unusual for a special report.

Will you please stop it with your stupid theories? You really think some minority groups gave two craps about what some second or third-tier cable network devoted to game shows was showing in 2003? And have you forgotten that I'm not speaking to you? Your lame theories about Press Your Luck's final three months on page 22 of this thread (which don't even sound somewhat logical), and the fact that you reignited them two days ago, made me unfriend and block you on Facebook. And it will remain this way for the time being, because you don't learn. I thought you would drop them, but you didn't.

First and final verbal warning for everyone: Place someone on ignore, and don't start an argument (which is what the rules state). I will start raising warning levels and will start temp-banning.

Sorry, I just SMH, when he actually thinks this Whammy animation is the main reason why GSN won't show those final three months of PYL (pic below), and also when he thinks GSN reads and cares about everything we say on this forum. Hard to take someone like him seriously.

Bush's inauguration. I do remember seeing non-stop coverage of the Oliver North testimony around July 1987. I vividly remember there being commercials involved in such coverage, which is very unusual for a special report. Card Sharks aired at 12:30PM EST on some days in July and August 1987, followed by TPIR(in Summer reruns) at 1pm, and ISTR Pyramid(which itself had five weeks of reruns in Summer 1987) airing at 2PM one or twice.
ISTR Pyramid and Card SHarks not airing on Xmas day 1987, going from 30 year old memory, The Mon-Thu 12/22-12/25/86 shows of Pyramid reran on 12/21-12/24/87.

Only way to find out about December 25, 1987 being a pre-emption, is if the audience polling group on the earlier airing on GSN on Thursday, December 22 is different. If true, I may have to tweak the episode guide afterwards.

Here's what GSN will be doing for Christmas (thank you Game Show Follies and Casey Abell):
-Christmas Day: Deal or No Deal from 8:00am-2:00pm. Family Feud (Harvey) from 2:00pm-11:00pm -Boxing Day: Match Game from 8:00am-2:00pm. Family Feud (Harvey) from 2:00pm-11:00pm -New Year's Adam (or December 30): Cash Cab from 11:00am-4:00pm -New Year's Eve: Millionaire with Chris Harrison from 7:00pm-11:00pm
The 1:00am-4:00pm Paleozoic block continues for that week. Looks like What's My Line? will be all John Daly episodes, and I've Got A Secret will be mostly Garry Moore episodes. I guess we'll soon find out those episodes.

Another Harvey Family Feud marathon? How original...

Another Harvey Family Feud marathon? How original... They're not even "marathons". Just what they always run, at about the same time.

How did I know that a complaint was coming? The constant complaining of how much Harvey Feud there is, is getting really old.

Maybe that removes some of the clutter, and people who don't want to read anything like that can ignore the thread altogether. Show of hands?

I'm in favor of the complaints continuing. I'm surprised ratings haven't slipped from too many airings. I'm surprised they haven't toned them down. And yet, GSN still won't listen. Harvey's Feud can't be GSN's cash cow forever. Surely, it's gotta dry up sooner or later due to overexposure.
And speaking of complaints (sorry to go off-tangent), I wish Buzzr would listen to viewers complaining about the transfers in the latest episodes not being up to par.

Maybe that removes some of the clutter, and people who don't want to read anything like that can ignore the thread altogether. Show of hands? If I may, sure people have a right to complain. But I also have a right to state my opinion on hearing the same complaints over and over again. People have been bitching about the excess of Harvey Feud for nearly 6 years now. Yes, that's a lot of Feud, but it's still generating ratings. But several years of complaining about the same thing gets really old after awhile. With that being said, yes keep the complaints in the threads. I believe every poster should have that right. However, every poster should have a right to call others out on complaining, in a respectful manner (yes, perhaps I could've been a little more respectful in that post).

Yes, the complaining gets old. But it isn't as constant and repetitive as 6-8 hours of Harvey Feud every day. Truthfully, I wouldn't mind Harvey Feud so much if it wasn't so banal.

Constructive criticism can lead to great things you know. Too much of one thing (in this case, Harvey Feud) gets really dull after a while. How it's been able to last this long is beyond me. As vahan already said, Harvey Feud can't be GSN's cash cow forever. Sooner or later, everyone will get tired of the same thing being aired all the time. GSN should really take more risks and air a wider variety of game shows, not just Family Feud and it doesn't matter who the host is. Not everything has to be a Family Feud marathon.
