Buzzr just updated their listings through March 15, and several changes happen on March 2...
- Split Second rejoins the daily lineup, at 10:00am, replacing Press Your Luck.
- Match Game Hollywood Squares Hour gains the 11:00am to noon slot, replacing an hour of 70s Match Game.
- Card Sharks (Perry) at 4:00pm jumps ahead to 1980 again, starting with the Game Show Hosts Tournament from September 1980.
- Press Your Luck is now on Sundays from 10:30am to 11:30am, replacing an hour of Split Second.
- The Price is Right (Cullen) leaves the lineup entirely, with 4:00pm to 5:00pm now an hour of Sale of the Century, and 5:00pm to 6:30pm now Supermarket Sweep from 1992 (with 6:30pm to 8:00pm being Sweep from 2000).
- Card Sharks (Rafferty) rejoins the lineup, late Sunday/early Monday from 2:00am to 3:00am, replacing an hour of Sale.

Moved or is it still on at 10pm as well?

Still at 10:00pm. The morning slot starts at episode 30, the 10:00pm slot will be at episode 71. And we hit the end of fresh episodes on March 6 with episode 75, with the 10:00pm slot rewinding back to episode 6 on March 9.

I must ask which two episodes are getting skipped. Episode 75 was a Tuesday episode, not a Friday.

Confoundit! But if Body Language can come back.....

A little bit earlier but looks like TANLMAD cycles back to '85 episodes on the 28th

Tattletales jumps to 1983 with episodes 371 tomorrow and 375 on Friday, and then returning to 1974 #124 on Monday. That's...random. I'm just reacquiring BUZZR, have they done that previously before cycling back to the beginning of the Tattletales batch?
-
Don't quote me, but I believe they've done that stuff in the past. It's when they've had episodes converted for a marathon. So I imagine one (or both) of those Tattle Tales shows will have Howie Mandel?

Not sure about Howie, but they're the same episodes from the Lost and Found 2019 event.

Ah! Thanks, you both cleared that up. Meg Ryan's 2 episodes from Lost & Found '19.

Any clue as to why?

Welp, another MGHS first scoreless tie aka dumb-off at the end of round 3...and won by the girl with great skin!
So much for Gene preemptively sending her off to the land of parting gifts

Minor point by comparison...but as expected, the Telephone Match plug is gone, though references to it remain through round 2.
Also...this is the episode mentioned in TV Tropes, in which Jon tanks the Super Match (will that guy EVER win the big money?), having the correct answer originally even.

Last night only cemented that guy's Legacy of Failure, finding the 30 and totally blowing a near-gimme of a H2H answer.

I like reading TV Tropes as much as anyone, but given it's a mix of unconfirmed "facts" and opinions, it can be taken with a grain of salt - at least Wikipedia has some form of checking on what's submitted. Here's an example from the MG/HS page:
No OSHA Compliance: Compared to every other run of Squares, the board was actually the least safe, considering the second and third rows would be wheeled in behind the Match Game panel.
There's virtually no chance anyone on the planet can confirm this - so why make such a statement?
-
Forgive me if someone beat me to this, but we have a St. Patrick's Day marathon. And among others, we're finally getting Norma Brown on Buzzr.

The Whoopi Squares were in 2 parts - the bottom 6 squares as one piece, and the top 3 as another. Perhaps the other runs worked that way as well. I'm sure our amateur inspector at TV Tropes would take issue with that.

I'm about ready to start a TV Tropes Is Full of Crap thread somewhere. I found this today on the Match Game page:
Some of the more attractive female stars, including [Fannie] Flagg, also wore rather revealing clothing that was only just enough for modesty's sake.
Seriously?

That's impressive for typing with only the one hand.
/Fannie Flagg isn't gonna blow you, dude
//no, seriously

I think it would get to be very full, very fast. On a quick visit to the page on Nickelodeon Double Dare, TV Tropes said that "The only ones on the show truly safe [from slapstick] seemed to be Robin and Dave." Dave, I can make a good case, but Robin was Marc's foil SO many times.
-Jason

The biggest gripe I ever had about TV Tropes was the tropes are usually really obscure or something that's not really as big of A Thing that they think it is.

You mean crap like this?
After ABC canceled the 1990 version, CBS initially offered to pick it up for a second season, and would have replaced Ray Combs' Family Feud with it. Though this was even indicated by Ross Shafer on the series' final episode, it ultimately never came to pass.
Ross Shafer said "another time, another channel, very shortly" (last episode is on YouTube) but never mentioned CBS. There's also a "fact" about MG being the last show to air at noon on ABC, which is wrong.

A little bit earlier but looks like TANLMAD cycles back to '85 episodes on the 28th
A dig through the schedule shows they resume 1986 episodes on 3/17 . Still they've got to be getting close to the end of the run so why drag it out?

3/17 is an all-day marathon of big winners for St. Patrick's Day, and most of it is episodes they've recently skipped. It appears that's what that LMAD episode on that date is.
-
I just noticed that Blockbusters gets more new-to-Buzzr episodes starting March 2. That makes me a happy boy.
Classic Concentration is starting to skip over entire weeks, but still, I'd estimate that Buzzr has already converted about 300 episodes. That was fast. (For comparison: Press Your Luck, which has been on the schedule since day one, just got to 300 during the last "new" cycle.)
-
Have Match Game '77 episodes been regularly run on Buzzr before? Looks the 5PM-6PM ET hour will be jumping to that year on 3/16.
-
Super Password has been on the schedule since the Buzzr launch day too but still haven't gotten to episode #300(the guests on that episode were Nipsey Russell of Your Number's Up and Pat Sajak of Wheel of Fortune), in fact they still haven't gotten to the episode with a big $50,000 win from October 17, 1985.

Yes. As far as I know, not counting revivals, '79 and the three syndicated seasons are the only years that haven't been on Buzzr's regular lineup at one point or another. That said, they have aired PM from that era.

At least one week they skipped was "Summer Fun On Wheels" because they used different music (Tequila, Axel F from Beverly Hills Cop).
I figured we were close to the episodes I somehow saved/not taped over when the damn palm trees showed up :D
I've been recording but not watching. Did they get to "Twins Week" yet?
-
Well the Alan Thicke week continues on MG/HS...so I guess they AREN'T skipping episodes? Unless the two in question are coming later.
-
...so I guess they AREN'T skipping episodes? Unless the two in question are coming later.
The first skip comes between tonight's show (#067) and tomorrow's episode (#069). Next skip is between tomorrow and Monday night (#071).

Aha.
Do we know why yet?

I can't imagine how anyone who isn't in the position of making that decision would know that.

Thinking about it there's a bunch (LMAD) they've either skipped or haven't gotten around to. I don't recall seeing the one where a woman ends up passing up three cars, supposedly there's one where Dean hosts part of the show and there's the final episode where Jay and Carol turn up.

I have noticed that the "Fremantle" logo at the end of the Classic Concentration shows has disappeared. Wonder if that has to do anything with the rate of them converting those shows over for air.

Or does it have anything to do with NBC/Universal/Comcast being the "intellectual property" owner of Concentration?

Even in the latest Split Second conversions, not only have they also done away with the Fremantle logo at the end, but they no longer fade out once the "Steel V" Vee-a-com logo comes up.

The Fremantle logo has been gone from a lot of recently converted shows. I wouldn't read anything into it.
