EDIT: G'ah! Oh well, it was a nice thought. And wait...this isn't the '84 finale either, is it?
I believe it actually is.

On another note: did the 1978 Tattletales finale ever air on GSN?

No.  They aired some episodes from fall 1977, and maybe even a couple from '78, but they never got to the finale.  The last year of the original version was sparse on GSN.

Why do I get the feeling that if anything they'd air the 1984 finale instead?

Oh, he got all of that one.  :)

Oops, sure is the '84 finale. The intro was different from what I thought I remembered.

One of the bumpers indicated a CC mini-marathon of the first 2 and the final 2.

Match Game 90 was the next show up and they did the same thing. First two, then last two.

Not the finale - in fact, it's the first of the ~65 shows that GSN never reran. #697.

I don't think so--just Moore's first and one from O'Hurley.

It's amazing to think that it's been decades since that episode has been aired anywhere. It was an interesting game too!

The first Moore they have, anyway; they don't have season 1, so they started off with the first-taped episode of season 2.

The O'Hurley episode was indeed the final-taped of his run.

After all is said and done...it was a rather lame stunt for me, frankly. A selection of more shows with finales that actually acknowledged the finality of the series would've been nicer, as would not duping the average audience with "imposter" premieres & finales.
Blockbusters, Child's Play, both Perry & Eubanks Card Sharks, Trivia Trap, Body Language, offhand all would've been enjoyable entries. Eh well.

Interestingly, Buzzr had closed captions for an episode of Child's Play during the first CC.

Essentially all they did was mimic the weekday lineup on Sunday, save for PYL running at 11pm. Truly the whole event (IMO) was somewhat disappointing, and many episodes were show more than once in error, including the 2nd half of Larson's run being shown back-to-back at 6pm Friday and Classic Concentration doing something similar earlier that day.
