Re: Tic Tac Dough Season 2
Curiously, Game TV skipped the first 3 episodes of the Over 80 Tournament, anyone recall if GSN did the same?

The 2008 rotation skipped over the first two; those were the only two skips of the entire season. I don't know if they aired on GSN before then.

I see, thanks. Who knows, maybe Game TV skipped the additional episode to get the alignment of days back on track so that new weeks don't begin on Thursdays.

That really doesn't fit into what they (or any other) network has ever done historically. Especially for a civilian driven game like TTD.
My guess: Sony/GSN, back in the day, kept their episodes three to a digital betacam tape, and while their airchain and distribution went to digital files a while back, at some point they'd have done a transfer - either for digital archiving, future distribution, or transfer-on-demand once GameTV licensed these episodes. Related, many of Fremantle's own copies are sourced from those transfers of the original tape/film that Sony did when GSN was launched. It's why some 90s GSN branding has occasionally popped up on Buzzr, why THOSE three eps of Perry CS aren't on Amazon, etc.
Episodes B-046 to B-048 would have been on the same tape. (Tapes 1-65 would have been season 1/A at 195 shows, next 15 are B-001 through B-045) Guessing that whatever happened that's caused 46 and 47 to always be skipped by GSN, when the digital transfers of this season were done, either the damage/deterioration had progressed and left B-048 unplayable was well, or whoever was assigned to do the transfer saw 46 and 47 were bad and assumed 48 was too.
