Title: Marathon Question
Post by: curtking on May 31, 2006, 11:31:00 AM
Da Perf says that the GSM "...premieres Wednesday at 8 p.m. (EDT/PDT) and continues Thursday at 8. The twice-weekly format continues until June 15, when the show settles into a weekly Thursday slot." (http://\"http://www.tvgameshows.net/coverstory.htm\")

I was under the impression that there were only seven episodes, which seems to be in conflict with the above quote (if the first six eps air on 5/31, 6/1, 6/7, 6/8, 6/14, and 6/15, then there's not much left to "settle into a weekly Thursday slot.")

I don't want to turn this into a Perf-bashing thread, but what's the truth here?

You expected a correct quote coming from the perfesser? :) It's twice a week until the week of June 11, where it will air on Thursdays for the next 3 weeks.

No, I didn't expect it, but I read it originally at TVSquad.  It looks like the author got his information from the Perf, too.  Ugh.

In fairness, that's a pretty tiny nit to pick with the professor.  The show begins to air weekly on June 15th.  I can see how his wording of that fact can be misinterpreted, but it's not as though it was an outrageously false statement.
