I wrote GameTV and here's what Maria Donatelli, Director of Programming, wrote back:
--- Quote ---With most old game shows, like Break the Bank, we are limited to what episodes are available. We try to air the episodes in order however this series has quite a few episodes missing or simply no longer exist. Out of the 100 episodes originally produced, GameTV is currently airing 64 of these episodes. We will be airing this series all summer and you will have the opportunity to watch the entire library that is available for broadcast.

*Jumping up and down in joy* Apart from a few YouTube episodes, I haven't had a chance to watch BtB since its original run, when I was 14 and mesmerized by the board and gameplay! It just goes to show: wait about 50 years and something good may come your way. ;)
Also: Mitch, you're a Godsend. I'm archiving these recordings to ensure I can enjoy them until the day I die.

Based on # of skips so far and how that hundred breaks down (74 daytime, 26 syndicated), going out on a limb here: likely no nighttime run eps for GameTV, total of ten skips for daytime (of which seven five have already happened).

Glad you're enjoying them and you're welcome. The episodes that successfully record will be uploaded, when I have a chance to do so. The recordings have been hit-or-miss over the last week, so some episodes may not be there or they may be glitchy.
On the flip side of Blaq's thank-you message - I am letting the forum know that I have received several persistent and borderline-aggressive emails and PMs from some folks about these recordings (from people I've never conversed with before).
Honestly. Please stop. These will go unanswered, and I'll be blocking you immediately. The folder goes invite-only if I receive one more unsolicited message like this.
Otherwise, enjoy!

Agreed on the nighttime series not being included, now I'm a bit curious though on the number of available episodes being "97" according to that leaked Sony file of GSN's library.
Perhaps some got lost or deemed unplayable since then, or just inaccurate accounting.
On another note as of yesterday, we're only up to 5 skips. I'm going to try my darndest to keep the guide updated in the thread on the general forum http://www.gameshowforum.org/index.php/topic,34762.msg405354.html#msg405354
Still 19 blanks, including info on a couple GameTV has yet to air; fingers crossed none of the 5 remaining skips fall in the final week. Would be nice to get that in full.

I watched the ep where Dan Avila was eventually defeated. I thought Tom was a better host than Jack Barry. Thanks for posting.
