I've wondered about that sort of thing myself.  I guess that could apply to a lot of GSN's shows which they haven't aired over the years because the celebrity refused to sign the waiver.

I'm guessing that if a celebrity refuses to sign, that show can probably NEVER be seen again - even after the celebrity dies.

Does anyone know if I'm right?

I think the estate/heirs of the celebrity would still be able to sign the waiver.  Who knows, maybe down the line we'll see Gene Rayburn playing Match Game with a Hoover Upright (God Forbid).

tommycharles:
That makes perfect sense. Let's think of all kinds of ways that we, game show fans, can benefit from a guys death by overruling his requests. Sheer brilliance.

Jimmy Owen:
Meanwhile, Joe Farago is sitting at home hoping someday, somebody, anybody will show his BTB episodes again.

J.R.:
Hey, maybe Gene banned BtB 85 for a reason ? I heard the show was terrible with poor ratings and I think we all know about the struggles he had with the producer (Yet, I'm going to be receaving an ep of it soon) I'm sure Gene wouldn't of banned MG/HS Hour if he had a better co-host (But thats another topic).

Gene, we'll always miss you. I heard a rather snazzy dresser is comming up to join you in the MG Panel in the sky.

(PS: This got me thinking. If the producer of BtB wanted a direct, humorless host. Why did he pick the funniest, goofiest guy in the business ? I mean that in a positive way too.)
