The 12N move happened on August 4, 1980 along with a bunch of other changes which included David Letterman's talk show and "Another World" both being scaled back to an hour from 90 minutes. Buzzr's CS eps are in February 1980, no?

Actually, CS moved to 12 noon on June 23, 1980. August 4 saw the debut of "Texas" and Password Plus moved to another time slot that day, and Betty White and Bill Cullen were still guests on the time slot change day.

Yes! Thanks for pointing that out. CS moved to noon when "Chain Reaction" was cancelled.

That won't be the last time my gut is incorrect :D

As the Eubanks version went through the years, it got sloppier and slower. We're getting one full game per show with the Money Cards at the top because the contestants are giving dissertations and Bob is pulling teeth to get a story out of the in-person survey group.

Perhaps it's a small thing, but one of my favorite parts of later episodes of Perry CS is his skill at turning the cards fast and with panache. Definitely made it more exciting.
I have a soft spot for Eubanks CS because it's one of the shows I remember watching when I was younger, but yes, it is a snail's pace.

Thanks to the minor acceleration in episodes, they've finally exited months of Manager's Special, to usher in the Super Supermarket Sweep era and the $200 Super Sandwich.

I've meant to ask this, but how is it that BUZZR is able to crank out the Supermarket Sweep reruns like there's no tomorrow yet they're a tad slower in converting their Goodson inventory?
