GSN screw-ups and Technical difficulties thread

[starwheel]

SEE what happens when you play something to death!!!!

I know, right? They may actually be wearing out the digital file, as many times as they've reverted MG! Bring on the '75-'76 season, PLEASE!!!

[funnyducks]

They aired a part of a Millionaire episode with Norm Macdonald twice. And that happened just one week before his first high stakes poker episode premiered...

Speed ups don't count as technichal problems...

If GSN keeps doing rerun abuse to the 200 leased episodes of Match Game and Card Sharks, will the tapes wear out or something like that?

I believe they have been transferred into the electronic realm.

GSN's showing of 5th Grader tonight featured a graphic mess up.
For the 8pm program, this was going to be the potential $1 Million Dollar question. A big time moment but someone at mission control goofed up. They forgot to remove the television rating on the top left corner and the ad on the lower left KIDS SAYS THE SMARTEST THINGS. Sundays at 7pm. That clutter finally left the screen after a few minutes though.

Also on Friday night during The $25,000 Pyramid at 8:00pm or 8:30pm ET (don't remember what time, might've been the 8pm one) and I think The $100,000 Pyramid to 11pm/11:30pm. (Don't remember the time again.)

Yeah I saw The $100,000 Pyramid screwup on Friday night during the 11:30PM episode. After the first commercial it showed part of the intro and went straight to the winner circle.

That's what you get for classic rerun abuse!

I can't blame this on GSN, but our fabulous cable company actually had TCM on while I thought I was recording Match Game twice yesterday. Family Feud was on, as I saw the end at 4:59 p.m., then TCM was back on just before 7:00, before reverting to normal, at least during intermission of the Flyers' loss. Now THAT's a technical difficulty!

Maybe it's your cablesystem!

I'm sure it was. Everything was fine yesterday. Now all we need is an actual GAME SHOW network with actual game shows 24/7 (minus the useless infomercials).

They did it again to. Dang computers. I wonder if someone watches the computer like an engineer or someone.

The other day at the end of Match Game, Gene was sitting with the gang and talking for a few minutes and there was NO sound. I would have liked to have heard what he said. I wonder if turning on the CC would have worked or is that only for shows that are more recent?

Digibeta problem with 1974 episodes?
