Yeah, be lucky it's the same 50 episodes for the next 80 years till the tapes stop working!

I'm not spoiled. I would have perfectly happy with at least a 200 episode lease for both PYL and CS. I've already learned to accept the fact that GSN will never be what they were before October 1997. What is still unexplainable is why only 50 episodes for PYL and CS, yet $25K Pyramid ans SP get 200? How is that fair?

So you're not spoiled and you've learned to accept what GSN is now, yet you still bitch and call it unfair?

OK, first you tell us this:

Then you contradict yourself with this:

I don't need professional help. That's nonsense. I'm doing just fine.

I usually just lurk when it comes to visiting this board, however I'd like to say thank you to gslover87 for making me laugh the hardest in about a year.

I have no comment other than to add that Larry "Bud" Headroom up there is ten pounds of win in a five-pound bag.

I'm going to take the Abell approach here

You're going to find that doesn't work well here, which is one of the reasons Mr. Abell took his business elsewhere.

Ooh! Ooh! Good thing I'm here then, isn't it. The Long Walk. I would bet cash money Stebbins was involved in that conversation.

Edit: Dang, that's what happens when I don't read the rest of the thread. Nice going, J.R. :) I will put out that I remembered the quote sans google-fu, and I still look less silly than several of our yinzers here.

Come on now, John. They would have to pay GSN to air that.

Or better yet, GSN and Fremantle end up in a permanent impasse, arguing over which side is going to shell out the money.

You know, I thought so, but unlike some folks here I like to make sure my facts are correct before I publish them. And yet Google didn't come through for me at all. Prolly should have Binged it. :D

Thank you both, gentlemen.
