Buy some tapes or a couple of blank DVD-R's. That day's sure to be a keeper!!

I still get the GSN West Coast feed at 6:00am. So the tribute for me is from 6:00am-12:00noon (PT) if your cable company hasn't switched the feed yet from the East coast feed.

I'm watching a Johnny Carson tribute on GSN that I programmed yesterday on my DVR. Great to see the old game shows with a lot of old sponsors at the beginning and end of the shows. They had Allstate, Anacin, Kellogg's, Pepsi and a couple of other sponsors. GSN eventually cut the old commercials for something newer.

I like to see the old commercials. Is there any website to watch old commercials from the 50's & 60's? Let me know. Thanks!

I was watching the tribute on GSN, the ending for one of the old game hows from the 50's and 60's has split screen credits. I didn't like it at all. I like to see the original ending with sponsors on it during the overnight black & white hour. I remember last year that TV Land has the original ending to the "Jackie Gleason Show" in a newly discovered "Honeymooners" episode "Love Letter". All of a sudden, the split screen credits appeared in a TV Land promo that the "Andy Griffith Show" is coming up. I wish that I would like to see the original ending to the show anytime soon. And by the way, thanks to the gsn.com website disclaimer during the middle of the show. I remember the time during the middle of one of the shows, it used to be a gameshownetwork.com disclaimer. Thanks to GSN for a new website disclaimer.

I don't like what the members call at GSN's Forums "credit-crunches". It ruins the purity of the shows that should be viewed as they are. I agree with you, musicradio 77, that's why many people get upset about it and it's an issue that's not going away anytime soon.

Great job, GSN on the tribute to Johnny!!!

Carson tribute: A+
'Credit crunches' on tribute: F
