There's some juggling going on on Nov 16. The PPV preview channel (800) is
leaving, and so is Box Pulse and Box Classic. I think the Boxes are being
replaced with 2 VH1 offerings. (Are they still doing R&R J!?) I'm not sure
where the other stuff is going. Check the HITS site and look for the new
channels on the same transponder as other stuff you currently get.
Sadly, the scripting crap on the HITS site is all screwed up and I can't be
bothered to fix it.

The VH1s are specialty all-video channels. No non-video shows there.
In Chicago, we're just getting Noggin and on the DMX side, Contemporary
Christian's being replaced with something called "The Listening Room" (probably
something like Music Choice's specialty shows).

And nationwide, the Box Set digital channels are history as of Tuesday. They
will be replaced by the MTV/VH1 suite channels (in Chicago, modern rock Box
Edge becomes modern rock MTVX, R&B/hip-hop Box Urban becomes R&B/"jammin'
oldies" VH1 Soul.

Kaleidoscope is also bye-bye (nationally, I assume). Two other new DMX
channels are added in Chicago.
And the only thing this has to do with game shows is that all of the parodies
(and in the case of "Square One," a few actual games) on the CTW shows Noggin
airs.
I admit it. No flames, please.

I'm pretty sure that everything on Square One was scripted.

If kids are contestants rather than adult actors (and the actor who's host is
using his/her real name), it's a real game. I forget the actual names of the
games, but they called upon MGP to help them develop the games.

But Who's Counting? did have the actors, but the games were indeed real.
(Largest number, smallest odd number, largest sum from two three-digit
numbers, etc.)
There was also Let's Do a Deal (from series 100) that had actors too, but that
was strictly scripted to demonstrate probability.
These are the rest of the games that were played on Square One TV:
But Who's Adding/Multiplying? (series 100 only) - Tic Tac Toe-type game where
you picked two one-digit numbers to get an answer.
Close Call (series 200 onward) - Estimation game; think Contestant's Row.
(Beginning with Series 300, points were awarded depending on how close the
guesses were.)
Triple Play - (played only in series 200) an evolution of But Who's
Adding/Multiplying, spinning two wheels to get two numbers and
adding/multiplying them to cover numbers on a triangular board.
Piece of the Pie (series 200 onward) - Family Feud Jr. Series 200 shows did
not have the equivalent "Fast Money" round.
Square One Squares (200 series)/Square One Challenge (300-500 series) - given
word problems and two panelists, two contestants had to determine which one,
if any, was telling the truth about the problem. The answer reveal even
borrowed from TTTT: "Will the truth-tellers please stand (or remain
standing)?" Sometimes both would stand up, and sometimes both would remain
seated.
- Jeremy I just heard Stone Cold Steve Austin is getting married
(again) to a member of the opposite sex.
I'll go take my cyanide pills now... Sigh...

>What do you mean by Series 200-500? I don't understand!
At the beginning of the show, as with many CTW shows that aired on PBS, CTW
places an episode number during the opening credits very prominently. (See
Sesame Street. The episode number is at the very beginning of the opening
theme.)
CTW's "seasons" tend to run in numbered "series" because they weren't
"seasons" in the general sense that a new one started in September and ended
in May with reruns during the summer.
Square One TV had five "series," which are indicated by the first digit in the
episode number. Therefore, Series 100 shows are from "season" 1 (started Jan
1987), 200 from season 2 (Sept. 1988), and so on. The 300 series started in
Sept. 1989, but the 400 series [and new theme] didn't start until (I believe)
September 1991 or 1992, and the 500 series was in September 1993.

As someone who used to watch Square One and 3-2-1 Contact religously, I know
that's the way the epsiode numbering works on those two shows, but Sesame
Street numbers its episodes sequentially. They're probably over 3500 by
now. (BTW, this month marks the 30th anniversary of SS.)

I don't remember there being a 5th season of Square One. BTW, Piece of the
Pie did add a Fast Money-type end game in Seasons 3 and 4. Three questions
asked per player; total >=100 wins.

Unfortunately, Noggin edits the episode number out of the CTW shows they air.
"Sesame Street Unpaved," the late-night airing of the early years, has a new
opening replacing the animated opening with the episode number, and "The
Electric Company" has the ep number taken out and the end-of-show next-day
tease cut (although they do have the "Today on 'The Electric Company'..." tease
at the top of the show). Since there are breaks (even though Noggin's
commercial-free), I assume that they cut another minute or so out (but it's
probably things that are seen in other eps--I'm sure none of "Sesame Street"'s
street scenes are cut, since they usually didn't appear in other eps.
And it's great to see Guy Smiley again.
