(The question is, will they be new episodes, or is this rights to strip reruns of the Discovery shows?)...

The story says off-net, which is industry jargon for reruns.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

First time I can ever recall reruns of a multiple season game show in the modern era getting syndie rerun time like this. Not gonna say it's the worst idea in the world. I'll be honest, when I see the reruns, the questions never get old, so it's fine for me if nothing else is really on.

I think it's great exposure for a show that I found enjoyable, just never had time to catch. Wouldn't be surprised if it develops a new fanbase as a result...

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.
