BUZZR Q4 2023

<< < (5/10) > >>

MSTieScott:
I was curious what Buzzr would be airing during the Barker tribute, so I looked to see what I could find so far. I'm going by the source code from the "schedule_by_date" pages, and I'm confused by some of what I'm seeing.

December 4

10:00 a.m. Eastern / 7:00 a.m. Pacific - Family Feud (1989; did TPIR compete on Feud in 1989?)
10:30 a.m. Eastern / 7:30 a.m. Pacific - Family Feud (1993; presumably The Price Is Right vs. The Young and the Restless)

11:00 a.m. Eastern / 8:00 a.m. Pacific - Tattletales (1977; the episode number doesn't align with the wiki on fandom.com for a Barker week)

12:30 p.m. Eastern / 9:30 a.m. Pacific - Match Game 75 (Barker on the panel)
1:00 p.m. Eastern / 10:00 a.m. Pacific - The Price Is Right: A Tribute to Bob Barker (notable that this airs directly opposite CBS's TPIR in the West Coast)

December 7
10:00 a.m. Eastern / 7:00 a.m. Pacific - Family Feud (1993; presumably TPIR vs. Y&R)
10:30 a.m. Eastern / 7:30 a.m. Pacific - Family Feud (1993; presumably TPIR vs. Y&R)

December 8
10:00 a.m. Eastern / 7:00 a.m. Pacific - Match Game (1979; I don't see an episode number; presumably Barker on the panel during the syndicated run)
10:30 a.m. Eastern / 7:30 a.m. Pacific - Match Game (1979; I don't see an episode number; presumably Barker on the panel during the syndicated run)
11:00 a.m. Eastern / 8:00 a.m. Pacific - The Price Is Right: A Tribute to Bob Barker (notable that this airs directly opposite CBS's TPIR in the East Coast)
12:00 p.m. Eastern / 9:00 a.m. Pacific - Match Game (1979; I don't see an episode number; presumably Barker on the panel during the syndicated run)
12:30 p.m. Eastern / 9:30 a.m. Pacific - Match Game (1979; I don't see an episode number; presumably Barker on the panel during the syndicated run)

December 9
10:30 a.m. Eastern / 7:30 a.m. Pacific - To Tell the Truth (1991; I'm confused -- this isn't what normally airs in this slot, but Barker never did To Tell the Truth, right?)
11:00 a.m. Eastern / 8:00 a.m. Pacific - Match Game 75 (Barker on the panel)
11:30 a.m. Eastern / 8:30 a.m. Pacific - Match Game 75 (Barker on the panel, but Buzzr lists the exact same episode number as the prior half hour)
12:00 p.m. Eastern / 9:00 a.m. Pacific - Match Game 75 (the episode after Barker was on the panel?)
12:30 p.m. Eastern / 9:30 a.m. Pacific - Match Game PM (1978; Barker on the panel)
1:00 p.m. Eastern / 10:00 a.m. Pacific - The Price Is Right: A Tribute to Bob Barker

Chelsea Thrasher:
Buzzr's listings show episode 149 for Truth '90. Marshall Akers' site shows the following three subjects during that episode, which has a panel of Orson Bean, Dana Hill, David Niven Jr., and Kitty Carlisle

Harold Wilkins - Game show fan and date for Kitty Carlisle
Eddie Benales - Former gang member, author: "From Gangs To Grace"
Mark Wayland - Head bump doctor/Owner of traffic school

I have to assume Barker or Price may have some tangential connection to the first subject (at least unless Barker was in a gang, had a concussion, or needed to clear a parking ticket).  Either that or Buzzr just really needed to fill a 30 minute hole that day and went with Truth (tangent about this below the line)

And as far as I know Barker never did a walk-on (and NBC probably wouldn't be in a massive hurry to promote the star of their competitor's top daytime game)
=======
(tangent: honestly I am shocked that they've never put the 1980, 1990, or 2000 reboots on the regular schedule - the 1990 version in particular feels like it'd be a great daily fixture for the channel, or 2000 for something more "contemporary", meanwhile 1980 has a really fascinating list of guests)

Perhaps there's a game show survey of some sort.

Honestly your leaving in my parenthetical kept the tiniest brief spark for a moment it was going to be the gang. This was, however, delightful and I'm glad they're running it.
