Deal or No Deal schedule for 3/22/12

[wilkey85]

I have happened to run across a .PDF schedule for March 22, and it looks like there is a skip between the third and fourth episodes of the Deal or No Deal block for that night (7:00pm-12:00am Eastern Time), and this is what it looks like:

7:00pm: #111
8:00pm: #112
9:00pm: #113
10:00pm: #115
11:00pm: #116

Why does episode #114 get skipped every time episodes #113 and #115 air?

If it's from the premiere week, maybe there were references to Christmas in that skipped episode?

I cannot see anything politically incorrect nor controversial on any DoND episode, to be quite honest.

GSN this past week I believe just started with episode 1 from December 2005, but I don't know what this is about. I don't know why they would just skip an episode, but don't always trust the pdfs.

The skipped episode first aired on March 17, 2006 on NBC, therefore, there were no Christmas references. I also have the said episode from original broadcast on a DVD.

March 17, 2006 = St. Patrick's Day.

Might be a St. Patrick's Day-themed episode, which would be redundant to air on March 22. Maybe they're airing it next Saturday, perhaps?

I watched the episode just now, and there are no St. Patrick's references. I'm also thinking that the reason GSN skips #114 could possibly be tape damage.

Watched the episode when? The St. Patrick's Day episode wouldn't be until next week

I first watched episode #114 when it first aired on March 17, 2006 on NBC. And the episode airing on GSN on March 17, 2012 at 2:00pm Eastern Time will be episode #109.

He watched his own recorded copy.

And back in 2006, videotapes were likely not being used anymore. Everything was probably digitally recorded then, and definitely now. There must have been some unusual circumstance that prevents GSN from airing the March 17, 2006 episode. Maybe there was some content labeled "questionable in nature" (politically incorrect content) that's keeping that episode from airing?

[Lingofan97]

What could have been even close to "questionable" on a show like Deal or No Deal?

[jhshifris]

Well, that's a good Question, Lingofan97, probably what the models were seen wearing.

[Lingofan97]

Hmm...but I've never seen it THAT bad on that show.

Are you implying that GSN is skipping the episode because the models were wearing GREEN?
Wow.

[jhshifris]

I don't know about that.

Wow.

The models must have worn green lots of times on the show. There was one episode where a contestant loved lime green and the models - plus the studio - was lime green. GSN sure didn't skip that episode.

And don't forget there was one episode where Kermit the Frog made a guest appearance. GSN didn't skip that episode either.

I think OMNI2 in Canada did air reruns of DoND for a while. Not sure if they still do, but if OMNI2 does still air them, I will keep an eye out for the episode that got skipped by GSN. Maybe OMNI2 didn't skip it at all.
