"Buried" on the other hand.... [/quote]
 I'd rather stick with the \"mistakenly burned\" theory myself

LOL

No, you weren't.

I am also going to go out on a limb and say... and bash all you want...that the Peter marshall Squares were, well, boring. There's something about them- the set's not as flashy, the jokes are kinda dated, (don't get me wrong, there are a few times I laughed out loud) but in general, i think the show was just too old and slow for new viewers to latch onto. We GS fans have been watching HS for years- via their orginal airings, or through tape trades, so we have an appreciation and fondness for them that most people wouldn't have.  GS fans are the minority,...not the majority.

As for the \"fears\" that MG 98 will return...yeah right. I don't think so. The MG 7X version is more popular than any other version ran. They won't replace it with a failed, crtically panned revival anytime soon.

 Maybe they won't replace Rayburn with it, but I still say the day is near that it ends up on GSN. [as for the \"lost\" thing, I thought it was reported a while back at EZboard that Lillie Holstead and the MOSGM crew had searched for them and came up dry]

And THAT is exactly why I'm bothered! My buck is as good as anyone else's, so to basically be told \"we want Little Jimmy's dollar over yours\" is a real kick in the (blank).

 So it will turn up, yet no one can find it?  Maybe our old buddy now at GSN has tapes of his own so he can forever admire his judging handiwork???? ;-)

As for your agreement on my statement, unfortunately I'm pretty much used to it now when it comes to entertainment in general.  Not to sound high and mighty, but seems that just about everything -- TV, movies, music -- has been dumbed down now, and its effects on me range from unentertaining to sickening.

And that is where your fallacy lies...your buck may be as good as anyone else's, but there are a WHOLE LOT MORE Little Jimmy's out there to get bucks from than there are PeterMarshallFans. (Or clemon79s, or Matt Ottingers, or whoever.) Or at least, GSN has reason to think so. Maybe they're wrong.

Don't look at it as them wanting Dollar \"A\" more than Dollar \"B\", because that's not the case. They want every dollar equally. But if they can only get one type of dollar, doesn't it make sense to go for the one that exists in greater numbers?
