Game Shows on Christmas Day
gameshowguy2000:
And in the Dawson era, the "12 Games" episode featured Richard putting one of the red bows on his ear.
And, the Double-point winning question: Name a character from "The Christmas Carol."
1. Scrooge
2. Jacob Marley
3. Tiny Tim
4. Bob Cratchit
I think these were the answers. Anyone want to confirm this?

The first three or four Combs Syndie seasons had Xmas episodes IIRC. The last two Combs Syndie seasons and Dawson 1994-95 did not have Xmas episodes(though 1994-95 did have a Halloween show). I suspect the current Feud run will be in reruns at Xmastime.

I recall watching PYL as a kid on Christmas Day and there being a special opening with Peter at his house and kids, forgetting that he had a show to do, and then rushing into the studio. I never saw this again on the USA repeats and I'm wondering if I'm just making this up. Any one else remember such a thing?

He wears a Christmas red robe that he wears in the opening on this Xmas 1985 episode, which has not been seen since its original broadcast. USA ran the 1983 Xmas shows c. 1992, and GSN aired the XMas 1984 shows this past Summer(first time aired since their original broadcasts)

In addition, the board read MERRY across, and XMAS up and down. There is a clip of a Christmas PYL opening at gscentral.net, including a picture of it in the PYL Photo Gallery.
On another note, somewhat related, my family and I keep fighting over whether or not game shows airing on Christmas are considered special or regular.
My family says that those episodes airing during on Christmas Day are just regular episodes. They keep telling me, "They're taped. They were just slated/scheduled to air on Christmas Day."
I say that they're special episodes.
Who's right and who's wrong?
