Regarding rhe timelines of the Gene Wood Canadian versions of AYCD and BtC, which through what I've read is a little blurry:

From what I gather, Gene made the transgression between Anything... and Beat... somewhere around 1972.  Was he hosting new episodes of both at the same time or was he done with AYCD before he hosted BtC, or were there reruns of Gene on the former while he hosted the latter?

In 1971-72, Gene hosted the first season of Anything You Can Do (taped in Ottawa) while he was announcing Beat the Clock (taped in Montreal).  In 1972-73, Gene took over Beat the Clock while Don Harron took over Anything You Can Do.  He wasn't hosting both shows at the same time, but he was seemingly commuting between the two cities a lot for a while (about an hour's drive from each other).

More back then, since the 417 freeway wasn't completed until 1975.

It looks like GameTVGo only has 20 episodes of Anything You Can Do in the rotation so far. Hopefully they'll add more eventually.
It appears they are airing more than 20 episodes.  An episode 34 just aired, plus episodes numbered 25, 27, and 38 will air this weekend.

They must have dropped some more in. Thanks for the heads up!
