For example, I watched the end of a Love Boat episode (last scenes and credits), then it played the whole sequence again.

This happens quite a bit. They showed the movie Top Secret a few months ago, and the same thing happened. They repeated the previous ten minutes.

So we're officially into season 12? The Pluto channel's Youtube posted a clip from The Phone Home Game.

Today's episodes (presumably ten episodes to round out the promised 100 for Cycle 2) take us, assuming no skips, three episodes into season 12 -- including the first two playings of Phone Home Game.
It also means that, even if there are no skips whatsoever, the tail end of Cycle 3 in a couple months will just take us into a part of the run that GSN never aired either. Except for one Christmas '84 ep, GSN didn't air the daytime run at all from 2/10/84 until the end of season 14 in summer '86. (2/9/84 was the last show they aired before dropping it in 2000, while Season 15 (9/86) was one of their start points when they first got the show and aired a different season every day).
No skips in a 100 ep cycle 3 would see 2/10 and 2/13 airing for the first time since the 80s (plus anything after that that aired due to skips), while cycles 4+, assuming they stay in order, would have us in completely new reruns for approximately the next 500 episodes.

They did air a VERY small number of episodes from seasons 13 and 14, but only as part of Win-TV. The three I'm aware of are 9/25/84, 10/9/84, and the 9/9/85 14th season premiere.
It'll be nice to see them without a crunched picture and poorly researched trivia questions in the corner!

I know what you are saying, but the phrase "completely new reruns" amuses the heck out of me.
