First time I can ever recall reruns of a multiple season game show in the modern era getting syndie rerun time like this. Not gonna say it's the worst idea in the world. I'll be honest, when I see the reruns, the questions never get old, so it's fine for me if nothing else is really on.

I think it's great exposure for a show that I found enjoyable, just never had time to catch. Wouldn't be surprised if it develops a new fanbase as a result...
