Buzzr Discussion

Mark Deetjen: "As a programmer, these are the fans that you dream about. They also happen to be, sometimes, the fans that you have nightmares about. They’re so, so smart about the genre that you cannot stumble because they are so good."

Gotta give him points for diplomacy.

Our creative services people got in touch with the people at Spiegel Catalog

That's Spiegel, Chicago, 60609.

At first I thought, "Wait, didn't Spiegel go out of business 20 or 25 years ago?" But then I remembered a Montgomery Ward catalog showed up at our house this week. Ah, zombie brands!

Family Feud was new to Buzzr today, resuming with episode 80-101 Prewett vs. Cea.

When Buzzr left off, the show was about to move to noon, to be commemorated by the Dallas Cowboys players vs. cheerleaders episodes that we saw on Sunday. Does Buzzr's resumption come before or after those episodes? (i.e., Did Buzzr presumably jump over those episodes because they just aired them, or might the episodes show up again very soon on the schedule?)

80-101 I have as airing on Thursday, June 26, 1980. 80-102 on June 27 and then I'm honestly not sure. The Dallas Cowboys/Cheerleaders (80-116 to 80-119) aired June 30-July 3. Richard has had virtually no opening monologue and so it's hard to pinpoint what day of the week it is, possibly because even the production staff didn't know. Not sure if the show aired on July 4 or not.

Is there an episode guide online somewhere that these episode numbers/family names can be found on? 
Thanks!

Douglas(SRIV94) has that the Feud was pre-empted on April 24, 1980 so it did air on July 4.

Ok, perfect. As I was looking at airdates in others' collections, I saw that I was off by a day sometime shortly after the Guice's appearances. Thanks for confirming the actual date.

Heads up, Sale is airing the premiere of the syndie version tonight. Bet that is because of the Buzzr Bowl stunt.

Don't think we're gonna see John again until the 21st.

That is correct.  According to Buzzr's schedule for Valentine's Day, after the Valentine's Day marathon Buzzr will continue from last night's episodes.

Not to be Negative Nelly, but could this be really just be the end of their most recent batch of new episodes of the Sunday night shows?

It looks like it is indeed the case.  According to Buzzr's schedule for next Sunday night they are continuing from last Sunday night, so they have started repeating again.

[SRIV94]

Meanwhile, the TT episodes that aired Sunday are airing this week (9AM ET), so maybe we'll be moving forward in the run for a couple of weeks.  That would mean the permanent start of the all-quickie format would start airing Monday (and finish airing next Friday ).

Only because I would like to keep up.

Jaimal, I'm assuming you're on desktop or tablet because the mobile setup only allows me to view two days. Nor does it display any info as to the particular episodes of the various Buzzr shows.

Or maybe this Friday at 9:30.  The first two episodes of the following taping (William Shatner/Amanda Blake/Bobby Van/Elaine Joyce) aired this morning.

Match Game '78 is also new this week.  The Star Wheel era will begin today and will continue into next week as well.  But at the rate BUZZR is going, the new episodes will end when they switch over to the new set.

[jimlangefan]

Super Password will be new again for two weeks starting February 29th.  They should pick up from where they left off in the tournament.
