-When the new yr. starts, "Let's Make a Deal" resumes first-run episodes on Jan. 2nd w/ the second-taped episodes from 9/27 & will air in order through Jan. 11th. After that, the first-taped episodes from the taping week of 10/17-10/20 will air from 1/14-1/17, w/ the 600th CBS episode set to air on the 16th. The episode airing on the 18th was the first taped on 10/24.
-There will be limited to no recaps on 1/21 due to the public broadcasting of the Presidential Inauguration (it usually takes place on Jan. 20, but this yr.'s falls on a Sun.). The same goes for Christmas Day (because of NBA basketball on my ABC affiliate that carries "Wheel" & "Jeopardy!").
-Also during the "Match Game" Christmas Day marathon to celebrate its 50th Anniversary, the '90 pilot hosted by Bert Convy will air!
