Except that there's lots of ways you could go to fill in Q.

My guess is to account for missing Q and X?
Quicksilver says "hey".

With a sample set of four shows spread out over three weeks, it's fun to speculate about what's going on.  That's all it is--speculation.  It could be alphabetical, it could be early appearances of comedians/actors/actresses, it could be none of the above.  It's just too early to tell.

To play off the excellent point by my learned colleague, the fact that the time capsule kicks off with a celebrity gossip game show and a pilot that went to Nowheretown doesn't fill me with excitement. It would be a good idea to temper enthusiasm until we get more information.

Another common bond between the four shows is early game show appearances of comedy stars--Billy Crystal, Brad Garrett, Rosie O'Donnell, and Arsenio Hall.

If I'm showing old celebrity games on my network, and I have some choice in the matter, you can bet that I'm going to look for celebrities that today's viewers will recognize.  I'm sure that has a lot more to do with the selections than any notion of going A to Z.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

Well I, for one, have run out of guesses on what exactly GSN is thinking (is it ever possible to guess that?) so I'm just going to enjoy whatever bones they throw us fans, intentionally or not.

Pyramid80, did you check the copies of the La Placa & Villard episodes that you recorded to see if you really only got Tuesday and Wednesday?
The two episodes I have are the Tuesday and Wednesday shows.

Thanks again for your help.

Well, in just three hours from now, come the first of two back-to-back rarities for October.

Well one thing for sure... All Star Secrets isn't sourced from a broadcast quality tape.  Kinda looks like it came from a personal collection. Not any less watchable though.

I myself was wondering how in the world they were able to track down an episode of this show &
you might be right. My eagle eyes caught a quick, colorful tracking line when they came back from there 3rd commercial break.

And what's with the "film look"?

Well, that same film look also showed up in some of the syndicated "$ale" reruns, no?

Oddly, the copy of Babble on YT had slightly better framerate.

I wouldn't be surprise if all of these programs on this block came from Wink Martindale's collection.

I'd doubt that. Maybe the UCLA collection??? Both shows were definitely from non-broadcast-quality sources!

"Babble" wasn't too bad of a format; just a little slow-paced.

ETA: I know where they got the shows from!!! And if some of you hang out on Facebook, you'll know too.....

Great shows tonight!  First time I have watched GSN in prime time in years. 

Having never seen "All Star Secrets", I thought it was a pretty fun show. Loved the theme song too!
