Since the demise of Nick GaS, the series is no longer being rerun. Moreover, GaS had just over half of the 195 episode run in its rota, including 11 episodes from the 1987 series with Harvey (among which are two Christmas Episodes and a holiday episode), 43 episodes from the 1988 Eure series, and 55 episodes from the Toffler era. A further 15 episodes from 1987 are known to exist on the trading circuit.
The two celebrity weeks from the Toffler series were never shown on Nick GaS, although at least one episode from each week is known to be on the trading circuit (including an episode from the Josie Davis/Emily Schulman week which finished as a tie; Josie and Emily ran the Romp together, with any prizes won going to both of their teammates).
Also counts for the UK version - the first two series were made by TVS (the ITV company for the South of England which produced and networked the show) whose archive ended up in rights hell after the paperwork went missingnote It began when TVS decided to purchase MTM Enterprises (the creators of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, WKRP in Cincinnati, and others), and got heavily into debt, and as a result lost their broadcasting rights to Meridian, and it was then sold to International Family Entertainment, the holding company for what is now Freeform, spun off from Pat Robertson's CBN organization. When Fox Kids acquired what then became Fox Family, MTM came along, and when that got sold to Disney, MTM's library had already been absorbed into Fox. Throughout all these legal shenanigans, TVS' library got lost in the shuffle. and may well never be seen again (the early years of Catchphrase have also been hit by this). However the later series were made by Scottish Television, and Series 3 and 4 were repeated on Challenge starting in 2014.
Screwed by the Network: Despite pulling in higher ratings than Double Dare, production stopped after its lone season in syndication. Repeats moved to Nickelodeon halfway through the 1988-89 season, and both versions stopped airing there in 1990. Only when GaS was created did Nickelodeon even bother airing the series again, and it has neither been reran since 2006 nor is it available for streaming anywhere. Even still, a good chunk of the run never aired on GaS.
Similarly Named Works: Finders Keepers is also the title of various other game shows: an early radio show from The '40s, a short-lived phone-in show from The '50s, a Battleship-esque British kids' show from the early 80s and an unsold pilot from 1985.
What Could Have Been: So why did the show change its hosts? It was because of a change in the studios where the series was taped. The Wesley Eure episodes were filmed at WHYY-12, the PBS affiliate in Philadelphia (sharing studio space with Double Dare); the show moved to Los Angeles, but Eure was not willing to make the long trip and was replaced by Larry Toffler.
