From what I'm hearing, Buzzr has already reverted to where they began in the runs of a few of their shows... Blockbusters, Body Language, Card Sharks and Tattletales (the first episode of which just aired.) The pilot of LMAD aired again tonight too apparently. Not sure about any others.
-
yep, "Tattletales" was back to episodes one and two tonight. Not a good sign.
-
Wonder if maybe they're welcoming new markets, and want to start from the beginning.
-
From a friend who has Buzzr, everything except Press Your Luck, Super Password and Child's Play was a repeat today. And all four runs of Match Game are the same episodes now.
-
On a side note besides all the repeating, during Buzzr Time Machine on Sat 7/4, an episode of Password Plus will be airing on Buzzr for the first time.
-
Family Feud wasn't a repeat yesterday, but they went back to Giles vs. Tack this morning.
-
This is pretty confusing. They're definitely repeating a lot. Super Password premiere was on three weeks ago and is on again now.
-
Maybe they will rerun a certain amount of episodes per month and go through more episodes over subsequent months?
-
I noticed this reply to an unrelated post on their Facebook page. Not sure if anything can or should be read into it:
"Thanks! More retro-cool episodes coming soon to BUZZR. Stay tuned!"

A few posts were on their page this morning and afternoon wondering about the repeats, but most if not all have been removed.

A few years ago, a radio station in my area switched formats from Mainstream Rock to a Soft AC Oldies format and for the first few months they played the same 100 or so songs over and over again (I'm assuming for the dial flippers). As time went on, more tunes were eventually added to the playlist. My hypothesis is that what BUZZR is presently doing is no different.
-
I will add this speculation from the perspective of someone who is in the day-to-day drudgery of a TV station:
Considering the fact that you have a library of thousands of game shows you have to catalog, ingest to playout server, and then segment the programs for air (which would have to be done manually as opposed to auto-segmenting), I would say they're having a heck of a time staying ahead of the curve.
Maybe they're behind and the most logical thing to do to give them more lead time was to go back to the beginning and run what they already have again until they can get ahead on their workflow. I don't think it's anything to be worried about at this juncture.
The flip side to this point is: Why couldn't they hire more bodies to do said work? (My answer to that is cost, as is the answer to most things.)

They should really get out of that habit fast. Searching BUZZR on Twitter finds several results with folks asking about the replays. They can't delete those posts..
I'm going to believe NicholasM79 for now so I stop fretting over this. The same Match Game episode is better than 100 episodes of 2 Broke Girls.
-
I posted on their FB: "We just saw todays episodes a few weeks ago, what gives?"
It took a day but, before they deleted the whole conversation, posted: "Keep an eye out! More of your favorite games shows coming soon to BUZZR."
-
I emailed my press contact again. She said to expect reruns from time to time, but there will be plenty of "new" episodes as well, whatever that means. She also said they're planning some kind of stunt programming on the 4th of July that she's going to send out a press release on next week.

In the reality world of business, it's quite wise to delete negative comments from the small fringe of people who obsess over such things.
"You're already running reruns of your reruns!" is approaching the telephone-pole shouting threshold.

But if you are trying to woo other station owners into becoming new affiliates for BUZZR and are trying to show that your diginet can be just as good or better than the more successful sub-channels like MeTV, then running and rerunning a handful of episodes with no viable explanation is not going to help your case, either. It's not just the fanbois who are looking at BUZZR sputtering out of the gate. Just sayin'.

I think I have a reputation around here of being pretty level-headed, and I disagree strongly with this.
They're boasting about a channel with a library of 40,000 shows, and essentially the entire schedule starts repeating in less than a month. That's stunningly short-sighted planning. And then to compound the problem, instead of having a reasonable and rational explanation for the fans that they purportedly are trying to court on social media, they just erase the questions and hope nobody notices? Helluva way to run a business.
-
Tim & Matt hit this on the head, but I'll add one more point.
For everyone 1 fanboi there are 9 brand ambassadors. I'm not going send some manifesto to BUZZR about their programming efforts.. But it will certainly change my tone when talking about the netlet with others. My guess is that they are deleting these posts in an effort to deflect any bad PR while they're still out there selling the channel. That being said, they're still alienating their biggest viewer base - and that doesn't come without repercussions these days (see XBOX ONE reveal and Netflix introducing Quikster).
-
Allegedly they're still in a soft-launch phase while they acquire more stations to air on, and they'll be doing a bigger PR push in the fall.

And that would have been a perfectly acceptable answer if they had said it. And while I thank you for that, we shouldn't have had to hear it from you.
That said, I don't know that the strategy makes sense. They're pretty solidly in the middle of the pack for availability now versus their competition, and they just started a month ago. I'm not sure what they plan to gain from the fall relaunch.
-
I'm familiar with a specialty magazine's discussion venue (not related to game shows) that regularly vaporizes posts that are even remotely critical of the magazine, its writers, or its advertisers. Posts asking about what happened to those posts are deleted even faster.
The excuses given are along the lines of "keeping the conversation on topic."
So it's not just Buzzr... but that doesn't make it right.
-
Buzzr just posted on their FB page that "New" episodes of the current schedule will be starting on Monday June 29th.

For those of us not lucky enough to have this channel yet, did they infact start airing new episodes on 6/29, and if so, did they pick up where they left off?

My friend who has Buzzr and has been keeping me updated says Yes on both counts.
-
They've started repeating again... >:( >:(
Seems we get three weeks of sequential content then episodes start replaying. Though I'm still not sure the reasoning behind this, it's nice to know there is some kind of programming pattern.
-
It's a bizarre one though. Looks like they ran episodes 1 and 2 of Super Password yet again, and the first episode of Press Your Luck is on now for the third time.

You're right - I just turned on Super Password to Pat Sajak, but didn't realize that ran over a month ago.
-
Wasn't Sajak on the last week of SP as well in 1989?

No...Betty White and Christopher Hewett (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2523576/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_181) were the guests.

In fact, Sajak wasn't doing any NBC shows by then (nighttime WoF doesn't count) having moved on to do his late-night show. (Sajak's last SP appearance was in late 1988.)

they're repeating, again.
-
How many times can Buzzr repeat the same handful of "Tattletales" episodes? They've been featured on two "Buzzr Time Machine" Saturdays in a row, and they've all run at least twice before on its regular weekday 10pm slot. :(

There's GOT to be something here that we're not seeing. Some expense that doesn't immediately make sense. Perhaps they're having to convert their episodes to yet another modern digital format instead of whatever they were converted to at the beginning of the GSN days. While that would undoubtedly be easier that the original conversions from kinescopes and videotapes, there would still be a time and expense factor that an on-the-cheap network like Buzzr would have a hard time justifying if they've decided to roll out slowly.

Most of the episodes were transferred/copied over to Digital Betacam (DigiBeta) prior to the runup for GSN. With the advent of digital storage and digital broadcasting, even at the professional level, I could easily see there being a push/need to move to purely digital on Buzzr's side prior to transmitting their program feed. GSN had a far more substantial runup to launch time in order to do conversions from the source formats, and as a full blown cable channel during the mid 90s cable boom, likely had a larger budget to prioritize conversion.
With the channel still building a network of affiliates and functionally resembling more of a soft launch, I can see there being a decision made to run with a small sampling of episodes while everything is converted over and more stations are added.
Disclaimer: Everything save "GSN's format was DigiBeta for most of it's history" and "the gradual advent of digital storage" is speculation and basically just my best guess. I have exactly zero *actual* idea what's going on. Other disclaimer: Edited on November 2 to correct a typo.

Flint-Sag-BC doesn't have a BUZZR affil yet, so no repeats here so far. I think the people who have it are watching voraciously, so they will notice repeats more. The diginets we have are MeTV, CoziTV, Bounce, Grit and GetTV. The only one I watch enough to notice repeats is GetTV, and I don't mind repeats too much. BUZZR will be fresh to me if we get it.

Late at night, I'm able to pick up Channel 5 and your Cosi programming. Wish I could get it 24/7, but nobody in Lansing offers it.

and the reruns seem to be continuing for a second week

It's a pretty good channel, they treat the shows with respect (end credits, distributor logos, etc.) The show I like best is "The Name of the Game" because as a nine year old, I didn't quite appreciate the show. (except for the dynamite theme.) Come August 1 they are adding "Baywatch" and "Simon and Simon" and a few others.
-

And this is COZI you're talking about? The network that cuts out the final closing credits and selected scenes to shows like The Dick Van Dyke Show and Here's Lucy among others just to make room for more commercials? Even Me-TV treated Dick Van Dyke on the air with much more respect -- until the day the show suddenly disappeared from the network & website without a trace.
I've noticed a few edits to some of Me-TV's programs, but by and large, Me-TV will speed up the programs in full to fit the timeslots with the added commercial time, and just like GSN, they do a terrible job of speeding up and slowing down the shows while music tracks or show themes are being heard. I still say it's not that hard to do the speed ups only in the numerous places in a show where there is only dialogue.
-
Yeah, Me-TV is pretty goofy with the speedups. Not egregious, but you can definitely tell the difference in tempo...the theme song goes from normal, to warp speed, then gradually back to normal.
I noticed Antenna TV now squeezes its credits during the daytime and overnight hours (the prime time shows are left untouched). There's been a bit of backlash on their Facebook page, to which they claim viewers wanted a "seamless transition" between shows. If you say so...sounds like they need more commercial time because they're not making any money off the umpteen ads for catheters, medical lawsuit settlements and the Cancer Center of America. When your biggest client is those idiotic Liberty Mutual commercials (see the Commercials I Hate thread), I'd say there's a problem. :-P
-
On that subject... can anybody tell whether Buzzr has been using a speed-up device? For the most part, I haven't been able to detect anything -- maybe a couple of instances where the Family Feud music feels a little quicker than usual, but I can't tell whether that's because of Buzzr or because of unreliable playback equipment used in the original taping.

I haven't noticed any speed-ups in what I've seen from Buzzr. As a result, some commercial breaks feel really short in comparison to other networks. Definitely no complaints about that.

Maybe I haven't watched as much as you have. My observation was based on the shows I watch, like "The Danny Thomas Show," which had the closing credits right down to the modern-day SFM logo. It may also depend on the time of day or the local affiliate whims. I don't think our affil has started to sell local ads on it yet.

Also, from the few times I've seen COZI, it seems like the picture quality of their filmed shows is really poor (lots of dust marks--no remastering here).
-
Now the third week in a row of rerunning the shows they started with in June.
-
make that four weeks of reruns
-
make that five weeks of reruns, same shows in the same time-slots as aired before.

Is what's showing now the most recent of the repeats to run? (IOW, would next week start from where they began if they don't forge ahead?)
/Since I've only had it since 7/30, some of the shows are new to me, if that makes any sense.
-

Nope -- next week could continue airing chronologically but still be Buzzr reruns. Then they'll have to either continue with new-to-Buzzr episodes or loop back around to week one.

Any insight as to which way they go from your contact(s) there?
And am I nuts (don't answer that) or is the daytime (10AM/4PM) MG7x run now ahead of the nighttime (9PM/12M) run (when it was the other way around when they signed on)?
-
Certainly looks like CP, BL and BB are continuing from where they were on Friday. Not sure if that means anything.

For some reason those shows were 1 behind (last time they reset, those came on on Tuesday). The real check will be Feud, Super Password and Press Your Luck.

FF went back to Lacey/Hatley (80-025). I have a feeling that this week might be filler and that they might start a new cycle next week to coincide with Lost & Found week.
-
Does that mean SP is in episode 2 as we speak?
-

I didn't record it so I'm not sure. I doubt it because FF on Buzzr started with Giles vs. Tack (80-001). You and I didn't have Buzzr when the cycle started the last time so they're still new to us! :-)
-
Press Your Luck was episodes #25 and #26 today.
-
As was SP.
So that's consistent--five weeks in for the double-runs, so the single runs will probably be 12 or 13 eps from where they started.
-
Looks like fresh content now airing.
-
Card Sharks is Episode 31...definitely new to Buzzr.
-

Yep. And SP jumped forward to episode 61 (12/17/84).
-
Press Your Luck also jumped to ep #61 (12/14/83) today. Christmas Week, 1983, which is episodes #64-69 starts tomorrow.
-
And MG78 is up to 1201-1202 (late April 1978). FF is up to episodes 80-61 (5/2/80) and 80-62 (5/5/80).
So I think we're good on the fresh content.
-
Makes total sense. I was skeptical that they would promote and run a special week of programming without updating the rest of the rotation.
-
And MG78 is up to 1201-1202 (late April 1978).
I wonder if Buzzr's run of Match Game will end up airing May 1978 episodes that GSN currently has the rights to? Should be interesting.
-
FYI, it looks like Buzzr has skipped a Body Language episode. According to the episode guide, the next episode should have been a one-off all celeb show with Greg Brock, Mike Marshall, Steve Sax and Dave Anderson. Instead, today was the Monday show of the next week (episode 194).

Nope--they ran it yesterday. The Monday ep of that week aired last Monday (8/31). The rest of the week aired starting this past Monday, so we're on a Tuesday-Monday cycle for now.

I would think so--especially if GSN is continuing with the 1979-80 daily strip.

Good to know. Is that the same with Child's Play, Blockbusters and Card Sharks as well? i.e.-new episodes aired on Monday 8/31?
-
As far as I can tell, yes. All four picked up on 9/7 where they left off on 8/31.
-
Looks like we're back to repeats. BL jumped back to the week of 2/11/85, and CP also went back.
-
So, when is that soft launch becoming a hard launch again?
-
OK, now I'm more confused. The FF eps airing today were 80-81 and 80-82. Those haven't aired on BUZZR before, correct?

Correct, today's episodes were continued from last week.
-
PYL has gone back to November 83 with Episodes 41 and 42.
-
Late last week, I saw a promo on Buzzr specifically advertising "new old" episodes. Which is a strange thing to run if they were so quickly going to go back to episodes they have previously aired.
-
It's making no sense, this episode of "Super Password" is episode number 46, so they are indeed rerunning again. That means the current run of "unseen on buzzr" episodes was only two weeks.

For some odd reason, outside of Match Game, it's only the daytime lineup that's rerunning right now. Primetime Match Game, Let's Make A Deal, & Tattletales have all been new. In fact Tattletales either just switched or is about to switch to the all quickie format.

Bear in mind that the primetime lineup was preempted for a week for the Lost and Found stunt while new episodes were running in daytime. I hope I'm wrong, but I bet primetime is back to reruns tonight.

wanna bet? This episode of LMAD has been aired already. Guessing the rest of prime-time tonight will be reruns too.

Are the glory days of Buzzr already over? My column:

Yep. TT jumped back to the week with Jack Narz (4/2-5, 8/74).

Too wordy. Needs to be tightened.
-
You know you've seen too many reruns of LMAD when you actually remember the contestants.
Lately, every time I look at SP I see JoAnn Worley. A short time ago it was either Tom Poston or Orson Bean. I also know the answers to most of the puzzles, likely because they're reusing puzzles I researched a few years earlier.
There are some clues and puzzles on SP which I wouldn't have allowed on P+. You know about the puzzles I approved on P+. You don't know about the ones I didn't approve. They wound up in the mysterious "Category 13", never to be seen on the air.
-

Putting the "opposites allowed" rule back in for SP to me made the game way too easy. I'm probably in the minority on that one.
-
This morning, during Family Feud (Are those episodes new to Buzzr? I haven't recognized any contestants or questions for a little while), they ran another "new old episodes" promo, which included clips from shows that are definitely in "old old episodes" right now.
They're still active over there, though -- yesterday, they ran a bumper wishing Rod Roddy a happy birthday. Which was only slightly awkward.
-
did my weekly Monday check, "seen it", check again next week...
-
I'm thinking a new cycle of shows will begin on October 18th, with the new Sunday night lineup. Maybe it's just me being optimistic, but their online schedule has nothing listed after Saturday afternoon and they should be into Monday 19th. Hopefully it's a sign of good things to come.

That hope may have been short lived. Tuesday the 20th's schedule is up and it seems to be repeating as well. Hopefully this won't last though. I really can't understand why they are repeating so much. At least we have Sunday Night's lineup to tide us for a while.
-
If the cycle doesn't revert back, Buzzr will begin the Star Wheel era of Match Game '78 on Monday the 26th. Also next Thursday, Buzzr could go past the January 6th, 1984 episode of PYL if it doesn't revert back as well.
-
And if Buzzr doesn't revert back, Child's Play would be reaching Anne Marie Johnson's episodes and Body Language would be at the Teen Week episodes with Kim Fields and Jason Bateman(Nicholas Mooneyhan got the episode #s correct for the March 11-22, 1985 episodes, but the Teen Week episodes as discussed many times were labeled as #204-#208 meaning that Butch Hartman's appearances were held afterwards, he appeared on episodes #211-#215 despite his episodes being aired on March 27-April 2, 1985). And the Studio 33 transition period episodes(regarding the red audience seats from blue) of Body Language should be shown if Buzzr doesn't revert back.
-
BL reverted back to the 2/1/85 episode this morning (last day of Vicki Lawrence/Ed Nelson).

Let me get this straight. You want a second network devoted to game shows to fold because it shows the same episodes too often?
Makes PERFECT sense.

Consider the source.
I give it less than 24 hours and we get another "I'm leaving" message.

I figured it was sarcasm.

Why Darryl, why don't you just enjoy Buzzr, it'll not cease next month I can tell you that right now. More cities will get the channel soon including Jacksonville, FL, among others. They're right now repeating the episodes to welcome new stations to Buzzr.

Wow. In all the years on the board, I've never seen Ivoryman1986 lay the smackdown.

"repeating to welcome"? That's about the dumbest logic ever. How does repeating the same episodes of spring 1978 MG, 1980 FF, somewhere 85 BL etc. act to "welcome new stations"?

I interrupt this smackdown to ask this question. The MG78 eps airing now in the 9PM ET hour are the week with David Doyle, Didi Conn, the three regs and semireg Fannie. Was this not the week Carol Burnett, Vicki Lawrence, Tim Conway and Jim Nabors show up to play a question? (Gene's in a tux on the opening show--I believe he was taping his portion of CBS On The Air across the hall.)

You are correct, sir! :)

Thanks, Ryan.
Do we know which episode of the taping this was (ergo, whether it will air tonight or tomorrow)?

It didn't air in the 9:30 slot but to be fair I was watching the football game.

Didn't air in the 9PM slot either (the outfit Gene was wearing didn't match the video).
So it's tomorrow. Reasonably sure it wasn't the last show of the taping (which would make it 9PM instead of 9:30 tomorrow), but not totally positive. I'll record both just in case.
