Line 24:
* [[Missing Episode]]:
** The Larson episodes (see above as to why it was "episodes") were kept out of syndication for many years, perhaps as an [[Old Shame]].
** Among the episodes GSN reran was a sixth taping from Back-To-School Week (August 1985) that was not seen during the show's original run or the repeats on USA. The episode itself is notable for being one of the few times a contestant played against the house. These were taped prior to the tapings of the 8/22 and 8/23 episodes, and made its GSN debut on September 4, 2004.
** #066 counts yet doesn't (see above for reason), hence GSN skipping it and #051.
** There were 109 episodes prior to the earliest aired-on-GSN episode (February 21, 1984). But, hey, wait a minute. How can this be true? The show had three nation-wide preemptions up until that point (two during thanksgiving week 1983, and one during January 2, 1984). Could there have been another unaired episode that counts as an actual episode, or an episode that aired in some parts of the country, while a different episode aired in other parts during a particular day?
* [[Screwed by the Network]]: CBS moved it from 10:30 AM to 4:00 PM in January 1986 so they could debut a revival of ''[[Card Sharks]]''. Although the change was promoted in-show at the end of December 1985, certain comments from here onward appear to prove that the staff knew it was the end.
