That's specious reasoning. "Joker" reruns were found more or less accidentally, not as part of a mission. "Joker" also became a long-running, profitable franchise in syndication, which was more of an incentive to preserve the tapes (even if they were just forgotten about for many years). "Gambit" episodes are completely unattached to all of this, nevermind that, unlike "Joker," "Gambit" was run by a packaging company with a rather poor track record for preservation anyway.

The Carter clip was also on one of the William Shatner-hosted Goodson clip shows.  In May of 1975, Jimmy Carter was just a guy with an interesting job, he was not a national figure, so I'm inclined to think the WML retrospective had only Gerald Ford (as I recall that was about the only clip from the syndie), though I haven't seen the show since its first ABC network airing. As for the syndicated version being allowed to air on the CBS@75 show, well it did air on WCBS from 72-75.

[quote name=\'cweaver\' date=\'Nov 2 2003, 10:48 PM\'] Here's what I want to know:  where were "Password," "Tattletales" and "The $10,000 Pyramid"?  How about "The $64,000 Question," one of only two game shows in history to finish the prime time season at number one?

But I shouldn't complain too much, at least they showed more game show clips than the ABC special--and last year's NBC retrospective ignored game shows completely. [/quote]
 They did show $64,000 Question!  At least on the 50th anniversary honoring Television City, they had a game show section with Barker hosting.

On NBC's 75th special, Diedre Hall asked Kelsey Grammer if there would be a salute to daytime & Kelsey said no.  

If I had been that Days of Our Lives star, I would've walked out of the audience on live tv in protest!  

Maybe they were afraid of having Anne Robinson over!

There's also one complete episode in the trade curcuit, but I'm not sure where it originated.
