Patrick Wayne question

[quote name=\'Jay Temple\' date=\'Dec 1 2003, 01:03 PM\'] Am I the only one who thinks they chose this ep for that reason? If I knew about it, I'd be sure to air it, just as a sort-of-inside joke for those who would recognize it. [/quote]
Which would be amusing - here's some well-meaning person at GSN going "Yeah, we'll air the episode where Patrick Wayne is on as a nod and a wink to the Internet guys who hate him so much! I bet they will think it's a nice acknowledgement!" And of course everyone starts screaming "But it's a CELEBRITY show, you bastards!"
GSN can't win.

It would not surprise me at all to find that the choice of Patrick Wayne was a deliberate one. You have to ask WHY run that particular episode? It's not as though the selection is random, and even if they put the tiniest thought into choosing a show, surely they could have grabbed something with more recognizable celebrities.
Clay Zambo:
--but probably none who'd stir up more ire here. Bravo, GSN!
Don Howard:
At least we didn't get the Celebrity Bullseye shows where Jimmie Walker or Joey Bishop or Shecky Greene guested. Those were absolutely putrid.
I was grateful Bullseye was shown--even with the celebs. I'd forgotten how rockin' that show's contestant intro music was.

And on that note, at least the Patrick Wayne ep had a full credit roll, giving us a chance to hear a good chunk of that great theme song...pity we didn't get to hear much of the section used for the mid-show fee plugs, though.
