Buzzr Q2 2025

[BrandonFG]

Buzzr showed last night  the first 2 episodes of the 2 contestants being on for 4 days with Jayne Meadows and Steve Allen. If you have seen the episodes on gsn, you know how bad the game play was . I guess many NBC stations dropped password plus after that

The episode aired in December 1981, so the show was gone in a few months. But I don't think this particular episode was the reason why.

I rarely watch Buzzr anymore or even TV anymore outside of sports, but I had Buzzr on when putting away laundry because it's an antenna-only TV in the bedroom.  Why was Buzzr showing a religious infomercial at 5 PM?

To be fair, the game play was pretty bad--although low clearances (probably even fewer than the CS episodes they replaced) and worse ratings figured more prominently.

I still marvel that only CS managed to survive more than a year in the 12N ET slot between when JACKPOT! was cancelled and SP debuted.
