As part of BUZZR’s celebration of 75 years of TV game shows, the network will be offering special programming surrounding Valentine’s Day. BUZZR will be celebrating the day of love with a marathon of the most romantic game show moments. For 10 straight hours, love will be buzzing.
Starting at 1:00pm Eastern, snuggle up with your sweetheart and get the inside scoop on celebrity couples with He Said, She Said and Tattletales. Split a box of chocolates while watching sparks fly between Betty White and Allen Ludden on Password and Password Plus. Lastly, pop a little bubbly as Richard Dawson meets his future wife Gretchen Johnson when she appears as a contestant on Family Feud – and yes, her dad was there keeping a watchful eye as Richard tries to woo her!
Take a look at what Cupid has in store for BUZZR on Sunday, February 14th from 1:00 – 11:00 PM Eastern/10:00 AM – 8:00 PM Pacific:

A fine marathon to be sure. The crazy thing is they probably could've done a marathon of just panel shows.
The numerous episodes of What's My Line? featuring both Arlene Francis and Martin Gabel on the panel. The two instances in which the significant others of the members on the panel served as Mystery Guest. Betty and Allen's mystery guest appearance after their marriage (with a great line by Betty) and their appearance as panelists, Jayne Meadows appearing as a Mystery Guest after her and Steve's marriage. Lucy and Desi and George and Gracie also come to mind. There is also tons to draw from both I've Got A Secret and To Tell the Truth.
It makes me look forward to Valentine's Days to come.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this appears to be the first time Buzzr has aired programming without airing it again later in the day. Fun!

Now I'm really disappointed they didn't air a TPIR episode with Dian & Bob.

Like.
FTR, the TT eps were Week 17 (Scoey & Clare Mitchell/John Astin/Patty Duke Astin/Charlie Brill/Mitzi McCall), airdates 6/11,13,17,19,21/74. And the P+ eps were the first four Betty White/Dick Martin eps (2/5-8/79). Have no idea on HS,SS.

The He Said She Said episodes are rare to see and also a nice tribute to Joe Garagiola, who just turned 90 on February 12.
