Season 14 episodes GSN skipped

Post by Ivoryface86 »

Gang, especially MarkBarrett, we're compiling a list of episodes GSN skipped when they were rerunning Season 14. These are the episodes GSN skipped that I can think of:
October 31, 1997(aka Day 1 of Bob Harris' run, it does have the ticket plug that used the red set/blue door combo)
March 2, 1998(the episode that had Naomi Judd, also the first permanent episode where the DJ! money values are already in place before coming back from the 2nd commercial break)
March 9, 1998
April 17, 1998(the episode that began with the Play & Win Sweepstakes winners)
May 14, 1998 I think
July 6, 1998 I think

Please correct me on some of these if you will. Also, do any of you remember the occupation and the KY city of Jill Heintze in the July 6, 1998 episode?

Seen and I'll look into it as time allows. That was the season on when I first had access to GSN and they must have gone through that season multiple times. Each time those particular eps. were skipped? Weird.

Not unheard of. I have confirmation that their rotations of late-90s Wheel reruns skipped a few episodes, too

Yes it did. Was rerun on March 23, 2002 and February 19, 2004.

I asked because it is unarchived. Surprised a copy isn't floating around.

We can always ask if Bill Unterborn has the copy of that episode, as he was the very first champion of the 1998 calendar year. It just came to me that the Halloween 1997 episode DID rerun on GSN, back on October 20, 2001, meaning it was also time compressed.

That has puzzled me for years. Seems very odd.
