I was just thinking the other day that BIll wasn\'t on GSN anymore, so this is good to see.

Also, STYD? 2013 sure has been the year of out-of-nowhere leases.

Looking at the episodes numbers, GSN is starting with the beginning of STYD. Would this be the first Stone Stanley rerun GSN has ever picked up?

They showed one episode in 2006 during the 50 Greatest Countdown.

Diversify, diversify. I applaud.

Sure beats hours upon hours of Feud. I mean, the show still has drawing power but to me scheduling it as often as GSN does smacks of laziness.

If you count their one time airing of STYD during the 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time marathon from 2006, then no. Good to see syndicated $ale becoming permanent. And welcome back to the GSN schedule, Uncle Bill!

And as far as Uncle Bill goes, GSN starts with episode 312 (OAD: 2/1/82).

Now if only GSN would pick up $ale\'s sister show, Scrabble, with Chuck Woolery. I don\'t care which version it is (1984-1990 or 1993). As long as it is the Chuck Woolery version, I will definitely watch it.

Yep, and if I\'m doing the math right, it looks like they picked up the last 60 episodes. As long as I\'m here, are their any new-to-GSN episodes of PYL coming soon? (Just asking. Still a nice AM schedule, regardless).

Also of note, the week of 12/9 GSN will be saluting Bob Barker\'s 90th birthday by running 10 episodes total of Match Game in the usual time slot with Barker on the panel.

I wonder if they might consider picking up Supermarket Sweep reruns to put the old Sweep/STYD duo back together....

By no means was Shop a favorite of mine, but this is refreshing. And the DVR will be going full blast for Block & Sale.

Only thing that could make this better (and look at me name, you know this is coming from me) would be if they jumped PYL to late \'85 where it left off. But I\'ll pick my battles one at a time.

They\'ve been absolutely deluged by people who bought and enjoyed Quizmaster, and I\'m basing this statement on absolutely nothing.

I think I\'ve said all I needed to say in the other thread about Black Friday, but hot damn, GSN\'s done it again.

I wonder if I\'ll get to see a young Matt O. in broadcast quality? That\'d be nice.

Please let me know where I can mail the award to whomever is making these decisions.

A shame they couldn\'t get a least one episode of Price, but this is still a wonderful gesture.

Nice to see Syndie SOTC won\'t be limited to the upcoming marathon---I\'ll be glued to the run, just as I was to the first 65[? Can\'t remember!] shows GSN ran.

STYD?? Don\'t mind it at all----lots of childhood memories there, too! Wonder how many folks will be watching some of those early eps, saying to themselves, \"That\'s the dude from \"Antiques Roadshow\"!\"

/well, \"Russian Roulette\" is also up there as some of Mark\'s best work

//also hoping GSN picks up \"Supermarket Sweep\"; surprised it hasn\'t happened already
