Assuming that GSN HASN'T acquired every episode of Millionaire, how long before they start back over to the November '99 episodes? These ones are with the "new" beginning from late 2000, and I understand that they don't have all the shows made(300 something)

 They still have new episodes for at least the next three weeks (which I know because we're still closed-captioning them).

 OK, here's a real stupid question.  Those WWTBAM episodes were previously closed-captioned when they aired on ABC, yes?  So why do they need to be recaptioned (not trying to take anything away from the work that you do, of course, but dang it if my curiosity didn't get the best of me yet again)?

I guess the more pointed question is, "How do you do the voodoo that you do?"

When I saw on air promos after GSN picked up Millionaire, I saw clips from shows that originally aired in January, 2001. So I am pretty sure they have episodes up until at least the beginning of January, 2001.

Personally, I wish they picked up episodes that originally aired at least until September 9, 2001. ;-)

 I'm not trainman but my guess is that they have to be recaptioned since GSN required ABC to compress the shows for them to fit more commercials in (it either breaks entirely, or more likely will go out of sync if they leave the captioning as is)
