FYI, today's 12:30ET PYL is back to what I believe is the last show before the debut of Pick a Corner (2/25?/84). As an aside, it's interesting to see how the eventual PAC square is actually cheaper in Round 2 than in Round 1 (save for Go Back 2, which has no immediate value of its own)

I've often wondered why they haven't picked up the rest of the episodes, especially now that they in theory have the money to do so.

It's 2/21/84; The first PYL ever aired on GSN.

I think if/when GSN picks up any more PYL episodes, they won't wait for it to go back to Nov. 85 before switching. They'll just suddenly start airing them without warning.

Take Jeopardy for example. GSN's showing '98 episodes of Jeopardy one day, then all of a sudden they jump to Sep. 2001. Then there's Love Connection, which went from ~1990 all the way back to 1984 at the dawn of the new year.

You never know; the other episodes of PYL could possibly pop up someday, when you least expect it.

PAC appeared 2/28/84. I have this episode on tape, and it's a keeper. If you are just a casual PYL watcher and haven't seen this ep. yet, set your TiVo/DVR/VCR to get it.

And yes, I hope that someday GSN ponies up for another 200 eps, whether it be the beginning or the end.

PYL is one of those shows that even if I've seen it before, I don't remember having seen it. It looks like a fresh show every time.

There are around 100 episodes from the begining of the run they've never aired, and close to 200 from the end of the run. I somehow doubt that any new package would include all of them.
