Buzzr Q2 2024
Chelsea Thrasher:
April 1st starts off with an interesting curiosity:
All week at 7PM Eastern Buzzr will be running Match Game 90 for an hour, with episodes all being shows previously rerun in marathons. (They're doing similar hours on Saturday 3/23 and Sunday 3/31 at 5PM.).
Match Game 90's never been on the regular schedule in Buzzr's nearly nine years of existence. Not sure if this is going to be a one-off or if they're going to eventually segue to a normal run of the show. Test?

I was wondering the same thing. They've done similar things with shows returning to the schedule after a long absence. For instance, Moore TTTT had a few weeks of repeats prior to them adding fresh ones, so I could see them applying something similar here even though it's never been on the regular schedule before. I'd definitely be interested in seeing Match Game 90 on the regular. The last time they did a survey, I specifically mentioned it as a show I'd like to see them run.
EDIT: On the other hand, I'm also reminded that they randomly ran a week of To Tell the Truth 1990 in the slot for the Garry Moore version recently, so who knows.

Has anyone been keeping track of how many Rayburn-hosted Match Games Buzzr has aired? I only find myself tuning in once in a great while, but I think I've seen the network get into the syndicated run. Have all of the Match Game PM episodes aired on Buzzr? I'm curious how much is left before the network has no choice but to move to the '90s version of the show if it wants more fresh episodes.
Given how frequently Super Password airs on Buzzr, there would appear to be sufficient demand from the audience to see celebrities from that time period.

They've gotten through the entire CBS run (minus any episodes they've deemed inappropriate) and a large chunk of PM. There's still about 30 or so PM shows from 1976 they haven't gotten to.
They're currently working their way through the syndicated run. They've gotten about a third of the way through season two.

Well, the MG '90 addition seems to be part of what I'm guessing will be an hour of revolving eras that'll change weekly, perhaps? The week of 4/8 shows MG '73.
