Two episodes of Anything You Can Do will apparently air on the regular GameTV channel on July 1st.  Maybe they're considering adding it to the regular schedule.
It's part of an all-day marathon of Canadian shows for Canada Day, but I think it's the only show in the marathon that's not already on the lineup so maybe so.

The Big Board / Re: Game Show Home Games/Video Games Thread

I was in my local library for their springtime used book sale.  This may be the first time they included jigsaw puzzled and box games. 

It was no surprise to see original Trivial Pursuit games, Balderdash and a few game show home games among them.  No surprise to see WWTBAM Jr., Family Feud DVD, and Card Sharks among recent titles.  But two in particular caught my attention--the fairly recent Wheel of Fortune electronic game by E-I, and   EYE GUESSS--Third edition

LMAD in the early-70s? Not sure whether there was an overlap with the ABC versions in daytime and nighttime, then syndication. Something tells me the primetime run directly led to the syndicated version.

According to the EOTVGS, the ABC primetime LMAD ended on August 30, 1971.  The syndicated version started September 13, 1971, so there was no overlap.

/Makes you wonder why Remote Control or Top Card never went outside the U.S. after their runs ended

You really need to visit wikipedia.

Yes; both Hit Man and Blackout fared very well overseas than Stateside (the Triple Crown round is the only clip from the UK Hit Man on YouTube and I couldn’t find any from UK Blackout), though Whew! on the other hand would’ve been expensive to produce regardless of country (even if they borrow the opening intro).

Concentration was also successful elsewhere, especially in Australia; one episode from 1997 — six years after Classic Concentration ended — is also on YT.

For about six weeks in 1986, on Thursdays you would've had daytime Price, the primetime specials, plus the Tom Kennedy version. Although I'm guessing two of those three were technically summer reruns.

The Big Board / Three in one day!

I realized the other day that Syndicated J!, Celebrity J! All-Stars, and Pop Culture J! all aired first run episodes all on the same day.  Did this happen before, or even more episodes in that manner, not including repeats, like on GSN.  I imagine it happened before with Family Feud (ABC Daytime, Syndicated episode, and ABC PrimeTime special)?

What was that show with Ahmet Zappa trying badly to play the part of Max Headroom that ran on MTV? That one too.
Ah, I think you’re talking about WebRiot! I remember the set being pretty quirky and of that late 90s/early 2000s music video aesthetic.
That and the contestants sat in quirky little pods that were suspended from above, if that makes sense. I remember being reminded of Jamiroquai when watching the show the music video part tracks.
