The Big Board / Re: Worst scoring flaw?
« Last post by clemon79 on September 10, 2024, 02:29:43 PM »
Pyramid in Italy had this wonderful rule: at the end of a round, if the score difference was 4 or more, score resets to 0-0.    ???

So did the situation ever come up where a player with a four point lead sat there for seventeen or twenty seconds in silence?

Game Show Channels & Networks / Re: BUZZR overnight changes 9/24 - Some fine returnees

Over in daytime, Press Your Luck just began another new-to-Buzzr run this week, which continues for at least three weeks. And we inch ever closer to seeing the final weeks of that series -- there will be fewer than 100 episodes remaining.

(Although Buzzr is going to be jumping over individual PYL episodes more frequently than usual this time around. I haven't tried to determine whether it's because of quality control issues or simply because the episodes already aired as part of some special theme week years ago.)

I haven't been paying close attention to Classic Concentration, but I think it's also currently in another new-to-Buzzer run. Episode 1,000 will air on September 23, and while I know Buzzr hasn't aired all 1,000 of those episodes, it's still amazing to me how popular the show has been on the network.

I've always been curious as to whether any of the episodes hosted by Monty Hall survived.  IIRC, it was at least three weeks worth, and may have been the show's last episodes .

Game Show Channels & Networks / BUZZR overnight changes 9/24 - Some fine returnees
« Last post by Blanquepage on September 10, 2024, 11:05:00 AM »
The Newlywed Game departs and the cycled and recycled black and white episodes get a rest.

All times EST:

Midnight - 1AM: Password Plus
1-2: Body Language
2-3: Blockbusters '82
3-4: Concentration '76
4-5: TTTT '74
5-6: WML '68

Looks like M-F episodes won't repeat on weekends. Concentration will start in the same spot as when it debuted with #971, and Blockbusters with #293. Maybe we'll finally get to the last 60 of the series this time? Regardless, nice to see these back!

Any love for the Cullen Blockbusters theme? It's up there for me.
I feel like it needs either 1/16 notes instead of 1/8 notes on the trumpets
I always thought that those notes at the end of the main verse represented the name of the show... B! L! O! C! KBUSTERS! Or not.

It gets love from me, but the end of the first verse is missing something IMO. I feel like it needs either 1/16 notes instead of 1/8 notes on the trumpets, or a different instrumentation altogether. Maybe ditch the trumpet for that measure and put more emphasis on the electric guitar and Fender Rhodes.

I agree about the Rhodes - I often wondered why they didn't fly this in more for a "solo" bit at some point...

I’d love to hear Doc Severinson’s or another live band perform it. There’s a lot that great players could mess around with.

I just saw this - and I agree - there's a few jumping off points that could be the start point for an extended solo or jam...

I really like the 2 most popular Stormy Sacks themes: “Caesar’s Challenge” and “Hollywood Squares”.  Others that “slap” (as my teenage daughter would say): “Double Dare” (2018), “Finders Keepers” (Room Romp), and “Chump Change” from NYSI.

Also agree about “The Mad Dash”.  The opening, with that energetic theme, really does a great job at stirring up excitement and drawing you into the game.

The Big Showdown is my favorite theme.

It's among my favorites as well, along with

1970s ABC Password
1970s Concentration (Narz)
1980s Tattletales
