Buzzr Discussion

Buzzr just posted on their FB page touting new eps of SP, $ale, BTC, Blockbusters, and Double Dare, so Doug, your assessment of SP moving forward is correct.

Buzzr just tweeted this. Make of it what you will.

I've been told Blockbusters started airing new episodes this morning.  Also it looks like the Sunday night lineup will refresh this coming Sunday night as well.  If it goes back to where it left off, John Goss' run should start this Sunday night.

This is good news...hopefully Buzzr can gain new affiliates as a result.

Is that picture of $ale of the Century from 1983?  Those look like the original buzzers from what I can see of the picture.  Of course, they could have always thrown in a press photo or something too.

Yes it is from 1983, but the schedule still has Sale in 1985.

The $ale picture looks like a frame grab from YouTube.

EDIT: It is a frame grab from YouTube.

Hey, neat! Good to hear they're adding "new" content.

It's odd to me how much Buzzr uses that just comes from image searches. They sent out a Christmas gift in a box adorned with screen grabs - including the Password episode of The Odd Couple and a still from GSN's airing of Press Your Luck in their 50 Greatest Game Shows marathon with upper-screen bug visible.

I must've gotten a different set of episodes. This afternoon's SPs were from premiere week.

The second airing will be the new episodes then it will repeat tomorrow morning.

It's really great to hear that five shows are getting fresh episodes after all this time.  I may not have Buzzr, but at least i can see some of the episodes somehow .  Even though only two of the chosen five air daily, and of those two, only Super Password interests me.  Will be great to see the start of John Goss's run on $ale, since GSN skipped it.  Either way, it's a step in the right direction for sure.

Makes me wonder why there are no fresh episodes of PYL yet.  I wonder if GSN may be planning to lease fresh episodes after the current one expires, and the lease may follow the same format as Match Game and $25K Pyramid currently on GSN (remainder of '86 followed by some previously-leased eps. for PYL)?

From the looks of it and Buzzr's comments they are going to gradually bring new episodes to the network.  They are just starting with these 5.   I removed the first sentence of my reply as I misunderstood what you meant about John Goss's run on GSN.  Sorry about that.

This is probably their attempt to make the "new" episodes stretch out farther by only having a few shows refresh at a time.

Probably also why the Beat the Clock logo above is from the Gene Wood version.
