Buzzr Discussion

[BrandonFG]

Is this known for sure? As I said before, I wouldn't rely completely on the episode descriptions as far as hosts go...

Good point.  If Buzzr doesn't air Eubanks' Card Sharks by June 7, we can safely assume that Buzzr doesn't have the Bob Eubanks version at this time.

How wouldn't they? Eubanks's version was still a Mark Goodson Production, and Fremantle should still have it. They might not be airing it right now, but I would think they have it, no?

I'm surprised at all the Child's Play projected on the schedule. A year-long run of episodes is nothing to sneeze at, given how much GSN ran Blockbusters, or even Hot Potato in the past (which had far less episodes than either show I just mentioned). Was Child's Play one of those shows that did oddly well when GSN last ran it?

I just saw my new Comcast statement and of interest to Chicago Comcast subscribers,  "Effective 7/30/2015, Buzzr TV (ch. 364) is being added to the Comcast channel lineup as part of our Limited Basic service."

Nice find.  I can wait two months.  Beats the four years I waited for GSN.

Here's a video clip courtesy of a Facebook friend in Florida, which includes a full commercial break. Promos are for the primetime block and the overnight B&W block. There's also a segment with Monty Hall and Wayne Brady reminiscing.

It may have something to do with the 240p YouTube video, but I like how unobtrusive the logo watermark appears to be. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting that, Greg. Looks like a lot of fun, and I love the spot with Wayne and Monty.

As for that Super Password clip, jack-o-lantern is hyphenated...seems like that should count as one word, or did they not allow hyphenated words?

Interesting...one of the clips in the Buzz Til Dawn promo is Dennis James during one of his Old Gold pitches.

Loved the little segment with Monty Hall and Wayne Brady.

Has buzzr launched?

Has buzzr launched?

It's a soft launch on at least some of the affiliates. They're looping the same couple of episodes of Super Password and Card Sharks with only promos in the breaks until the official launch.

I thought that's what that was. Very odd.

Will it soft launch in phoenix?

I normally don't post in here, for obvious reasons, but what about Optimum cable in NY? I have digital there but I guess I still need an antenna? (Which is very hard for a  co-op)

It's even more interesting since as far as I know, the only Goodson shows sponsored by Old Gold were part of Two For The Money (at least 1954-55; UCLA has Dennis' last show) and the entire run of Judge For Yourself (1953-54).

I doubt anyone outside of Phoenix knows the answer to this. You might have to get the answer to this one yourself.

Tune your TV to 45.4 and find out.
