We all know why but it's just so irksome that no one will be able to do the proper tribute -- one that includes you-know-what-show #1 and you-know-what-show #2.

Send all blame to Les Moonves and Bob's paranoid sense of self regret.

Aren't these pretty much the same shows aired during Barker's 80th Birthday celebration?

Unfortunately for Comcast's basic cable subscribers in my area, this programming salute will begin on the day of Game Show Network's move to digital cable.

Are we talking about TNPIR Shows 1 and 2?  If yes, why can't "they" do a proper tribute?  If no, which shows are you referring to?

Oh, I'm sorry.  But you must pay the penalty.
