Talk:Gameshow Marathon (American game show)

message: Hi - I don't know how to change a whole title heading, but this Wiki entry should be Gameshow Marathon, not Game Show Marathon.  I know the single word "gameshow" is weird and grammatically icky, but it's the official title of the show.

replies: text: No, it shouldn't.  The dollar sign is part of the stylized logo; it is not included in the actual title.  —David Levy 14:25, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Is CTV sponsoring a similar contest to CBS? If so, it should be cited, or else the phrase should be removed. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 04:35, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *  CTV is airing the same viewer sweepstakes promotions during the show as CBS, even though Canadians are ineligible for the contest.  CTV has mentioned no other contest besides the contest CBS is doing. Nick 14:05, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

message: "(Unlike its' current "Hole In One Or Two" format, and possibly due to time constraints, Kathy was only allowed one attempt to putt rather than two.)"
According to someone who attended the taping, Kathy was actually given two putts, but one was edited out for some reason. I'm not sure exactly how I should edit that though. WilliamPorygon 10:23, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hole In One 

message: Due to technical difficulties (ie. a power outage that f'ed up my VCR), I was unable to view tonight's episode of GSM and the BEAT THE CLOCK game. If anyone else has, and can do up the summary, please do so. If _I_ can find a copy of it (possibly through BitTorrent), I'll do it. Either way, please feel free to contribute. njr75003 02:54, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

message: *I want to thank Jude86 for taking the reins for BTC and completing its summary (except for the PRIZE DELIVERY segment). In addition, I've done the detailed Summary for Press Your Luck. njr75003 20:02, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Update

message: The discussion of the Card Sharks game says that the maximum possible win was $144000, and I believe that was also said on the air. But the math still doesn't make sense to me. On the bottom row, you start with $1K; the best you can do is double it three times to $8K. Move to the second row, get the additional $1K, and double your $9K three times to $54K. Move to the Big Bet, double your money again to $108K. Where does the extra $36K come in? Kickaha Ota 17:03, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 9 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 72. At least that's how my match came out :) Cheers, Lbbzman 18:10, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Card Sharks maximum win 

message: After seeing your suggestions on the talk page, I have put all the summaries on its separate page, called Gameshow Marathon show summaries.  I hope you don't mind.
But be warned: the new page is still 49 kilobytes long.  Either I or someone else may have to break the page down even further.--Desmond Hobson 23:00, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: New page of summaries

message: For those who haven't noticed, I have put up a brief summary of the tournament results.  This is not the overkill that was on the now-removed summary page, but is better than nothing.--Desmond Hobson 05:07, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
