There’s a week(?) of the second half of Dawson comeback Feud where Carol Burnett faces Betty White. Given the highlighting of another pioneering comedienne like Lucille Ball, that stands out to me as a contender.

SRIV94:
Evidently the 1980 ep is the one with Rosa Parks as a central character (saw a promo video on Twitter earlier this evening).

Bold and the Beautiful also had a team.

The "Gladiators" week was in Combs' last season.

Just my take... I have to think that whatever the real reason is that Barker’s version doesn’t air in reruns applies to Drew’s as well. Otherwise, I agree that we’d likely have seen some of it by now.

I don’t think models or furs are the real issue. As you alluded to, neither of those should affect Drew’s run. Heck, Bob’s run still had 6 or so more years after the last of the models with whom he felt he had a beef were gone. (And does Bob really have any legal authority to block those episodes in the first place?) As far as the furs, I could see all parties agreeing to hold back those episodes in the name of philanthropy. But there were few enough of those episodes, even during the fur years, that I’d think it would hardly make a dent in the amount of content available to air.

So I’m thinking whatever the real issue is likely applies to both Bob’s and Drew’s versions—be it a naming rights conflict, some other negotiating hangup, or maybe that the price simply isn’t right (;D). (I still think it’s probably been a factor in the absence of Cullen’s version over the years as well, though that’s apparently no longer the case.)

But that’s just my speculative take. If there are any copyright or intellectual property attorneys on the board, it would be fascinating to hear from them.

I believe Cullen TPiR was part of that package, and that they aired it during the dark period too. Could be wrong there.

I don't know if that is still the case with the rights. Simply presented as a data point for the discussion. Regardless, this March 8 showing may be a one-time negotiation.

Relevant: fun 1997 thread from a.t.g-s with the first dark period schedule. Dating/Newlywed Game 4x a day! Pass The Buck! Ruckus! Comments posted from a WebTV email address!

I didn’t actually have GSN at home until a few years after the dark period, only catching it occasionally when I’d stay certain places before then. I’ve read quite a bit about the DP and seen bits of it online, though. Sounds like some trippy fun.
