I enjoyed it then and I still enjoy it. I think, when it comes down to the format, that’s the best attempt that was made. Sure, the original 7x format works well too, but the addition of Match Up was a good touch.

Considering Buzzr is running/has run the CBS Daytime, MG PM weekly and the Nighttime MG 5-a week shows in groups, why not do a 2-hour Match Game block with one of each series with MG 90 rounding out the 4th spot? I'm pretty sure most of the Rayburn shows that can be aired are converted to digital, so Shaffer's version shouldn't be too hard to convert.
Love to see that as well with a 2-hour block of TTTT: The Colliers, The Moores/Garagiolas, the Wards, and the Elliott/Swann/Trebeks.
Some versions will recycle quicker than others, but by that time, Buzzr usually shuffles the schedule anyway.

Completely OT, but this reminds me of one of the great retro programming blocks of all time. Six nights a week, the digital subnet H&I runs a five hour marathon of all five live-action broadcast Star Trek series. One episode each of every show from the original series to Enterprise. And yes, some versions recycle quicker than others, but when they do, they just go back to episode one for that series and start over. H&I will freshen up its schedule across other dayparts, but prime time has stayed essentially the same for almost nine years.

GSN gave that multi-decade block treatment in the form of The Password Four, which I absolutely loved. BUZZR could do the same with TTTT, Password, and even TPIR.

When I had visited my parents last month I stumbled upon this and knew exactly what I was doing every night at 8pm for the duration of my stay.
