Buzzr Discussion

I really did overlook all four of those. All great examples...thanks.

Also, something of note in that montage: the "classic" Let's Make A Deal clips have a yellow/green curtain in the back, which as far as I know was only on the ABC version (and then only prior to the syndicated debut). If I'm right, this is an interesting sign of things to come.

Don't get too excited. The 70s LMAD clips are all from this episode.

[WarioBarker]

I thought I recognized the clips.

Still, as the comments on that video point out, that episode's from the ABC primetime run (1969-71). For whatever reason, two or three of the nighttime shows were aired during the first syndicated season.

I know we're not supposed to read the comments, but I feel compelled to point out that the person who said that the donkey is a great prize because you can charge people for rides did not see the Bart Gets An Elephant episode of The Simpsons.

Except that, as the comments on that video point out, that's actually from the ABC primetime run (1969-71).

Yes, but that episode was included (possibly mistakenly) in the syndicated package.  I don't think we're going to be seeing anything new here.

Still don't get too excited yet.   GSN did air three episodes of the 1969-1971 ABC primetime run, and the episode used in the promo also aired on The Family Channel when they had Deal.   Assuming Buzzr is going to air what GSN aired of Deal, You will be seeing the same ABC episodes nothing new.  I highly doubt Fremantle has or is going to pay for over 500 ABC episodes to be converted for broadcast, when they have a pretty decent stash ready to go as it is.

One thing I did notice, however, is that the Press Your Luck clips are from an episode GSN skipped.. #051 - Sherry/Michael/Helen.

Fair points on the Let's Make A Deal stuff, gents.

I was trying to figure out which episode that was from, but I didn't recognize any of the players and their nametags weren't legible enough for me. Well spotted.

Speaking of Buzzr...any word on whether they'll be putting out advance schedules a la GSN?

[TimK2003]

Ahem.

Blockbusters.

I'll see your Blockbusters and raise you the Bicentennial Funk years of ABC Password.

I remember early on (1997 or 98?) I remember an ad on GSN that had a hand slowly descending to press a Breter button while the background sound was various clips from game shows. Does anyone else recall this?

GSN used that ad for a WHILE up until it became The Network For Games.  Here's the ad you're talking about.

I can make out most of the voices in this clip except the first one..."you're in control of the board...".  Who is this and from what show?

Sounds like Pat Sajak on the April fool's day episode of Jeopardy!
