For those of you who have Trio...
Fedya:
ObGameShows: Trio had a 90-minute special on TV censorship through history which included amongst other things a segment on The Gong Show. Chuck Barris said that one of the ways he was able to get some of the more outrageous acts on was to \"overbook\" the auditions by bringing in some acts he knew were going to offend the censors (but weren't actually legitimate contestants), leaving the desired contestants in. The special also showed the Popsicle Twins' \"act\", which I had never actually seen before. :-)
DjohnsonCB:
This used to be more or less the stuff of TV Land in its first two years. Then they put it on my analog package and they promptly began phasing out virtually all the oddball shows, replacing them with stuff I'd had my fill of on four other channels. In these parts I can't get Trio or Goodlife even if I spring for digital.
I can virtually guarantee you that on the off-chance those 42 episodes of \"The Good Guys\" ever get taken out of the vault for the first time since 1970 when CBS axed it, it'll be on some small upstart channel only a few thousand families on the East Coast can pick up. The one time TV Land was going to show a single episode as part of their \"Ultimate Fan Hour\", they scratched it with no explanation and substituted something else I had no desire to watch instead. It had to happen.
To stay on topic, if \"Spin-Off\" ever turns up, it'll likely be on some future Boomerang-style GSN offshoot specializing in the old or obscure reruns of games GSN USED to air that will play exclusively to those same few thousand East Coast families.

Talking about Porn, yesterday (7/18/2003) was the 25th birthday of Cheyenne Silver.

I got Trio with GSN June 2002, and I really didnt watch it that much. I watched Laugh-In a few times, and when the Feast of Favorites was dull I tuned into the Late Night with Letterman Marathon they had. Funny stuff. I also watched the PJs(Another Brilliant FOX Show) a few times. I guess I will watch this show and give it a chance(Wasnt Dawson on one?)

In fact, the Late Night ep to be shown on Wednesday fits in with the Joel Stein theme... it's the one in which Dave reads Joel's fan letter. But it also fits this forum -- because one of the guests is Pat Sajak.
