Welcome to my collection pages. All details of all my
episodes are listed here, along with the following codes:
GSN - Game Show Network rerun
GTV - Game TV Canada
USA - USA Network rerun
FAM/CBN - Family Channel or CBN rerun
SM - Studio Master
OB - Original Broadcast
OC - Original Commercials
(in some cases OB shows also have OC, but may not be marked that way).
BW - Black and White
RPT - Repeat on a local station after regular run
Wild Feed - These are feeds to local stations for later airing recorded straight from my C-Band satellite dish
The date is the original air date (if known). In some cases, it's the date the show was taped.
Video on about 95% of the shows is good to excellent. The ones with poor video are marked that way.
Shows beginning with numbers (such as "$100,000 Pyramid") are at the END of the letter Z
NOTE: I'm almost through with the process of converting everything to DVD; and it's now much easier for me to dub shows onto DVD rather than videotape
