Compared to other years, the survey seems relatively compact. But some of the questions are odd--such as asking about showing classic movies. The link is to their Facebook page with a link to the survey. h/t to Adam for posting about this initially.

I looked at the questions about showing old movies/sitcoms as an extended variation of the first "just want to make sure you're really paying attention" one.

I hope that when they asked about Scrabble, they realized most respondents would be thinking of the Chuck Woolery version. With Trivial Pursuit also on that list, I'm not sure.
I also hope they realize there's been more than one version of Trivial Pursuit.

I filled it out but just how many ways can you ask how someone watches Buzzr?

Some surveys will deliberately ask the same thing multiple times, just worded in slightly different ways, to make sure the respondent is honestly answering the questions and not just randomly clicking buttons. I suspected that's what was happening when I got to that portion of the survey.

Given the other shows around those titles in the survey, I assumed they meant the recent CW runs. I replied "Not sure" to both, because they didn't specify a version.

One thing I noticed in that FB thread was how a number of people still hold to the notion that BUZZR will never air anything not owned by Fremantle, despite several counter examples at this point.

You’re probably right. But given the format drift of so many networks, it gives me a bit of pause. I don’t think they’re going to start running Three’s Company next to Match Game anytime soon, but the fact that it’s even on anyone’s mind… :o
I filled it out but just how many ways can you ask how someone watches Buzzr?
Do you watch BUZZR in your house?
Do you watch it with a mouse?
Do you watch BUZZR in a box?
Do you watch it with a fox?

Ah yes, Dr. Seuss is tipping his hat off to you from up above. Made me LOL! ;D

Do you eat beans with George Wendt?
Would you like to see George Wendt eating beans in a movie?
Do you eat beans at George Wendt movies?
Would you see George Wendt in a bean-eating movie?
How many beans do you eat at George Wendt bean-eating movies?
How many bean-eating movies have you seen with George Wendt?

The Scrabble question initially threw me for a loop, but then realized the other shows are that list were referring to current CW versions, though I wouldn't be opposed to seeing reruns of Wink's Family Channel version on a weekend morning schedule.
In the question asking if there were any shows you'd like to see I did specify "Reg Grundy Scrabble" just so no intern got the wrong idea.

Would you see George Wendt in a bean-eating movie?
If this is like "Ass" from Idiocracy, where it's just George sitting in a chair facing the camera head-on housing two or three cans of Heinz Beanz for 90 minutes, maybe a little small talk to break the fourth wall, I'd watch the hell out of that.
/especially Act III when the Beanz start kicking in

Make it a compilation of Norm sarcastically telling Sam/Coach/Woody how his day is going, and I'm right there with you...

A shame George is no longer with us. He could do an entire one-man show of those and Superfans sketches.
