No. They aired some episodes from fall 1977, and maybe even a couple from '78, but they never got to the finale. The last year of the original version was sparse on GSN.

Why do I get the feeling that if anything they'd air the 1984 finale instead?

Saw a promo today, the 89 finale of SP with Betty chucking the toaster will air
JohnXXVII:
I'm surprised by the complete dropping of Whew! What happened?
I liked Whew! It's disappointing that Buzzr decided to air the show's weakest era, Celebrity Whew, over the show's beginning, when it was new, exciting, and genuinely good.
BrandonFG:
Outside of the classics, Buzzr seems to rotate shows pretty often. I’m sure it’ll be back at some point, but let’s not pretend it wasn’t an outta left field pick from the start.
Ian Wallis:
I think it's safe to say the ratings for Whew! (or however BUZZR measures it) probably weren't so good towards the end - if it was still doing as well as it reportedly was when it started, I don't think it would be off the schedule for so long.
They're probably just "resting" it and I'm sure we'll see it again.
chargeradiocom:
With all due respect to the posters above me… I know the prevailing theory is that it’s taking a rest. I hope that’s right, but I’m not so sure.
My guess: It was a short-term deal, and it didn’t get the ratings and/or didn’t generate enough ad revenue for BUZZR to feel it was worth renewing. As opposed to, say, Classic Concentration, which is worth keeping in their portfolio.
I’ll be happy if I’m wrong about Whew!, though.
