Title: BUZZR editing out fee plugs?
Post by: TPIR75 on January 12, 2019, 05:34:07 PM: While going through some recent recordings of various shows I've noticed the fee plugs have been glaringly edited out. Notably this was present for Match Game PM from last weekend, as well as some MG '74 (#120-122), and Super Password from the latest round of episodes.

Possible cost saving measure to allow for more ad time? Kinda interesting that Buzzr's gone from including the mid-show plugs in select Tattletales, MG 74-78 and NYSI, to this.

Though for Supermarket Sweep Season 4, the fee plugs were shown in 3 sets and Buzzr shows most of them. Don't be surprised if they pick up the Season 5 episodes(the season that introduced the VHS section, the Candy Corner, International Bread Center, etc.).

Seconded. I'm not thrilled that they're cutting out the panel intros on Blyden's WML, but I'm glad to see it on TV again.
