Gord, get on it!

I don't event think their are 30 shows. I believe it ran once a year for maybe 10-12 years.

This is a show I would love to own along with Circus of the Stars but do they have to get permission from all the stars involved?

I remember when they ran a few Battles on Trio, the host said that it was a very expensive broadcasting fee.

There were only 19 of them. Go on wikipedia to get the big details.

Just stumbled across an episode of this being broadcast on ESPN Classic tonight. I don't know if it's a one-shot or if they'll run every competition - but I set the DVR just in case.

Yes, which is why it will never come out. They almost got sued for the Trio reruns because they didn't go to everyone to get them to sign off on it. A DVD release is unfortunately impossible.

which is pretty ironic since they can be seen on youtube for free.
it's frustrating for fans who are happy to pay big bucks for the real thing.

What I can't figure out is why would Trio acquire reruns without the approval of the original celebrity participants.

When the Game Show Network was established in 1994 (back when it was actually a good channel), they made sure to go to all of the celebrities or estates for their approval on game show clearances. They even showed most of the Holly Hallstrom episodes of the current version of The Price is Right which sadly, thanks to Barker, have not been seen since then.

They kind of did a deal and hoped for the best as far as anyone finding out and going after them. Not many people got Trio. It had pretty limited distribution and IMG hoped they would be under the radar.

Do you know what's the story with ESPN Classic running them now? I'm assuming that they are more likely to get noticed than Trio was.

The company that produced and owns the show. Their TV arm used to known as TWI but I don't believe they use it anymore.
