This happened to be the last Match Game PM episode ever taped.

 As per Matchgame.org, the final aired(and taped) episode taped the next day. The Klugman episode taped 12/27/80, the last taped episode aired 12/28/80

 Me, too. My newly installed imitation-Tivo from the cable company hadn't started taping yet.

Does anybody know if they're rerunning the marathon, or at least that episode?

 They've aired that in the regular rotation 2 or 3 times now.

From the way some of the people on the show were talking (and, I believe, from what has been said in this group previously...anyone want to correct me?), I think they were aware.

 The regs were aware renewal for 1982-83 was not likely. THere were no official goodbyes on Syndicated Game SHows until the late 80s(I'm thinking Davidson HS was the first syndie game show to do a blatant goodbye in the final first-run episode). In the early 80s, the practice on Syndie game shows was that the shows would be taped a few months before word of renewal or non-renewal came about. MG's lagging in popularity in the post-CBS years(and the dwindling ratings and time slots for it in an already game show axing-heavy era), didn't make renewal likely for 1982-83, and Charles' end of show chant of \"Thank you, Gene, Thank you, Thank you\" was the most blatant hint of it being the likely last show.
