And yet another thread goes straight to hell.
Thanks for feeding the Iris.

What year did they do that marathon? The only Mckee I recall is the same ones they've done on Feast of Favorites(Viewer's choice, whatever name you want to use) before. It did seem like that one last year on Viewer's choice was one I hadn't caught before.

I want to say it was July 4, 1998 (or thereabouts).

GSN did run a bit of TTD's 3rd season during the Dark Period, including the reign of Thom's successor, Erik Krepalein(sp?)...also got to see quite a few 5-digit pots won b/c of the Secret Category. All in all, def a good season...pity GSN's only going as far as the end of McKee's run this time around.

Really? I noticed in the last few weeks that they only had the Secret Category in the first game between any two opponents. I assumed that was a conscious decision.

They did have a few in the 79-80 season, as well...I specifically recall big winners Doc Fass and Mark Leinwand among those who won 5-digit pots (not to mention McKee's record-breaking $36.8K win). However, it wasn't really until the next season when it became more common to see the SC in the later games when consecutive ties occured...there were at least 2 occasions where the pot grew to over $20K.
