Game Show Channels & Networks / Re: Buzzr Q2 2024
« Last post by MSTieScott on Today at 02:32:37 AM »
Because there have been some crossed wires between the Buzzr and Pluto announcements, I checked Buzzr's schedule for Tuesday, May 28 (it is so weird to finally see Barker Price on there), and Buzzr will be starting at the beginning of season 13 with episode 5391D (originally aired September 10, 1983) at 3:00 p.m. Eastern/12:00 noon Pacific. 5392D airs at 4:00 p.m. Eastern/1:00 p.m. Pacific, and so on for those two hours every weekday. As is Buzzr tradition, the weekend airings simply repeat episodes that aired during the preceding weekdays.

Note that the new-to-Pluto episodes will be airing at 2:00 p.m. Eastern/11:00 a.m. Pacific and 3:00 p.m. Eastern/12:00 noon Pacific, creating overlap. Of course, if you know how to access the Pluto channel, then you've probably already seen the episodes that are airing on Buzzr.

The Paris Sisters were quite well known. Here's a Cullen TPIR fact. Norman Mailer was married to one of the models

The Big Board / Re: NBC taking DOND ... to an island

Replying to Jeremy because this pertains to the outcome and assorted stuff that maybe you haven't seen yet:

The ginormous right-side (and comparatively peanuts left side) does make it feel nearest to what I would prefer DOND was--and what the Dutch lottery version was--a single event episode with a potentially huge prize as opposed to the weekly/bi-weekly circus where a big chunk of the board is $100k or more, and you just have to ride out the silliness for a substantial payday.

The Big Board / FWIW: Little Known Barker TPIR Factoid.
« Last post by TimK2003 on May 16, 2024, 02:05:56 PM »
As I do a weekly oldies show on our local Community Radio station, I try to pull out some obscure facts about the artists I play and relay them to the listeners.

Recently, I stumbled on a factoid about former TPIR staffer Sherrell Paris, who worked closely with Bob during much of the Barker era.   I never made the connection that she was a hit-maker in the early 60s!

I believe they showed her briefly on a couple of occasions for game-related reasons, but I don't ever recall Bob ever mentioning her recording career.

Anyhoo, if you wish to learn more about Sherrell's pre-Price career,...

Wasn't it announced that Whose Line would be canceled a while back? Or do they have enough segments saved up that they can still run new episodes?

Not announced, per se.  More of a pretty outspoken statement by Colin Mochrie concerning credits and residuals.

Keep in mind that it's been common in the past to mine a taping for multiple episodes.  So what they taped last year could continue to be used for quite some time.

I think 24-25 is the final season.

As previously announced, LeVar Burton will host Trivial Pursuit, which will feature a "dramatic finale against the clock" to claim the big money jackpot."

Raven-Symone has been tapped to host Scrabble, where "wordsmiths battle it out over a series of addictive word games of skill and strategy to win points and master a giant Scrabble board in the center of the set."


That whole fall schedule looks like what 11-year-old me would have created if asked to build a TV schedule from scratch -- a night of game shows, two hours of wrestling, random sports, etc.
