It's official :
Newlywed Game.
An ad Buzzr posted on FB says it hasn't been seen on over the air tv in 20 years. How can that be , esp with the new version on GSN for a few seasons?
If they're going to go back into the archives for this - great. Otherwise, i'm just not a fan and don't need to see the 97 version played again.

It's technically correct: it hasn't been seen "over the air" in over 20 years--the last syndicated run ended in 1999, and GSN is a cable channel. Even though Buzzr is sometimes thought of as a cable channel, it's technically a digital broadcast channel.
Judging by the picture, it's the 1997-1999 Eubanks version. Yawn.

Now that we know what show it is, my guess is it takes the 10pm hour to replace MGHSH. Eubanks's Card Sharks now has the 9:30 PM slot, so you get 90 minutes of him.

From the social post: “ The Newlywed Game is heading to BUZZR over the air and on cable starting November 15th.”
I’m wondering if this wording means they don’t have the rights to run it on the streaming feed, only OTA/cable.
