My - last - post - ever - for real:
Thanks to the rerun abuse and not making a profit caused of its game show episodes aired by BUZZR, what would happen if Fremantle Media filed for bankruptcy? Would that make the BUZZR digital subchannel cease for good by the time 2015 ends and 2016 cease? Would TPIR and LMAD and Steve Harvey Family Feud continue in production despite the possible Fremantle bankruptcy? Same for the final season of American Idol on FOX starting in January?
If a Fremantle bankruptcy happens, what movie studio could buy the company and its assets to get out of its bankruptcy? Maybe Disney or Warner Bros. (but not Universal or Sony or Paramount Dreamworks or even 20th. Century Fox) could buy the Fremantle company?
And if BUZZR ceases at the end of 2015/start of 2016, how would the networks find replacements for the channel for their digital subchannel vacancies (Replacements for BUZZR could include Get TV, Grit TV, PBJ, Comet, Laff, and Decades; maybe Antenna TV could return to Cincinnatti, Ohio in the BUZZR space it vacated if things are lucky!)? Remember the September 1990-January 1991 STAR TV HEAVEN TELEVISION NETWORK that was affiliated with 10 affilates with maybe a few more to come (and even had a 90 minute game show block featuring reruns of Trivia Trap, New Liar's Club, and Jackpot 1985) but ceased after 5 months because of money problems or something like that a few days before the 1991 Gulf War began? This could happen to BUZZR as well.
Even Facebook posters still bash about BUZZR's rerun abuse of its previously aired game show episodes but the BUZZR Facebook mods remove (if not all once in a while) the rerun abuse leaning comments!

Fark that laundry: S'mores or cinnamon all the way.

Just make sure they're in old boxes. Remember, that's his weakness -- not the Pop-Tarts themselves.

Nah, he's got one more left in him. Next he'll be posting what would happen if the UK defaulted forcing Fremantle to file for bankruptcy making BUZZR cease operations because of the rerun abuse.

Oh, and one after that, and another after that...he's not going anywhere and everyone here knows it. We've seen this game played too many times.

Note that we're not even bothering to play the Skulk Pool game.

I didn't know Pop Tarts come with prizes, like tinfoil conspiracy hats.

I'll give you S'mores; but cinnamon? C'mon man.

It was a favorite quick breakfast of mine when I was in junior high. In 1993.
(Lord Lemon is correct; I was speaking of the brown sugar and cinnamon flavored Pop Tarts.)

Like the brown-sugar-cinnamon frosted ones? Hells yes, cinnamon. Those are bomb-ass. :)

I really didn't pay attention to any of this because, well, it makes zero sense. Now that I've read it (and you owe me for that), I gotta say you really don't have a clue as to how television works. If this really is your last post (which I'm sure it's not), you're sparing the forum from having to deal with any more of your asinine rants and "rerun abuse" complaints. Buzzr is not going anywhere, and I really wish you'd stop being Chicken Little. It's gotten old.
Now back to your regularly schedule Pop Tarts discussion, already in progress.
-
Heine...just...just no. Either shut up, or go away.
(Either way, go eat some Pop-Tarts. If nothing else, they'll keep your mouth full so you don't throw up your pointless rambling "sky is falling" crap all over this forum.)

Hell yes, S'mores. Used to love eating those. I think I'll go buy some next time I get a chance.

So here's the thing. His question is an easy one with a simple answer. The problem is that he asked it in a passive-aggressive and pot-shotty way so we're mocking him. Essentially his question is "what happens when a company goes bankrupt or gets bought by another one?" And the general answer is that the liabilities are paid, the assets are sold (if you've ever seen a mall store going out of bidness and stuff at 90% off, that's this) and people either look for new jobs or are kept on in some capacity if the parent company is feeling generous. Would it mean that BUZZR would magically air more different episodes of Super Password or Press Your Luck? Of course not.

Better chance this becomes reality before Fremantle goes under...

The entire company is a worldwide giant producing and holding the rights to some of the biggest shows everywhere. This "What if..." scenario is so far fetched, I think Marvel and DC would dismiss it for being too outlandish.

I had Cinnabon flavored vodka once. Someone got me a whole bottle because they knew how much I love Cinnabon/cinnamon.
It was perhaps the sweetest alcoholic beverage I've ever had in my life (granted, I'm still mildly young). I ended up leaving it in a hotel room I was staying at as part of a tip for housekeeping. Hope they enjoyed it.

Interesting you used that comparison, since Marvel actually did go through Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the mid-1990s. Granted, Marvel then is a lot different than Fremantle now (and needless to say, Marvel then is nearly unrecognizable compared to Marvel now.)

D. Heine strikes again. Always taking out his obsession on classic game shows on these boards, not being happy about rerun abuse, and fearing that Fremantle may fold. I am sure he has other things to do with his time than spending too much time on the Internet or watching game snows.
It's days like this that I really miss the ignore user option.

Thanks for the link. I have blocked the thread's author just now. Bye-bye, Mr. Heine.
