I know there's no way around it, but I laugh at those Generic Show Descriptions. It reminds me of The Price is Right's "These toaster pastries are a delicious way to start your day." and "This butt cream is soothing and relaxing for your swollen blood vessels."
For some reason, I got a chuckle out of the fact that, for LMAD, they are specific about the price of the Big Deal.

So I guess we have to start calling the Black & White Coffee Break the Black & White Dinner Break?

That's not a permanent change. It's for that one day only.

The June 1 event may be a "Buzzr's First Birthday" event.  I'm guessing both the Super Password and PYL eps will be the first episode followed by the one-year-anniversary episode.  The TTTT episode's first subject includes Cecil Underwood, the first subject on TTTT's first episode.  The IGAS 10th anniversary ep is probably the closest thing that they have air-ready at this point.  Not sure about WML.  Also not sure about FF, but glad to see new stuff on the way.

Good deduction. Now that I look at it, the WML episode is their fifth anniversary show as well.

I would have liked to have seen the original syndie version of LMAD continue, but I will definitely take this for sure!!

They also list their videos for LMaD on YouTube in a similar fashion.  Perhaps for some reason (this is purely speculation), the people behind BUZZR think by pimping the dollar value, more people are inclined to tune in.

Buzzr likes to identify individual episodes of several of its other series by original air date (or for What's My Line?, by mystery guest), rather than by production number. Maybe the Big Deal value is how Buzzr individually identifies LMaD episodes? (Here I'm assuming that this syndicated version did not have fixed air dates -- I could be wrong about that.)

Press Your Luck loops back around to episode one on Thursday. Aw.

Buzzr hasn't uploaded any full episodes to YouTube. That's someone else's account. Other than airdate (not applicable in a syndicated show) or episode number, how do you differentiate episodes of LMAD though?

This is the case it looks like.  BUZZR just sent out an email stating that Let's Make A Deal will be new all month long beginning June 1st and there will be a sweepstakes scratcher each day from May 30th to June 1st.  Also there will be special marathons of Celebrity Family Feud, Match Game, & To Tell The Truth.  I would assume this would be to coincide with the premieres of those shows on ABC.

Saw a tweet that Buzzr is now available in Indianapolis. I believe it's on 28.1.

I may be crazy but over the years I've grown to like the 70s syndie series far better than the 1984 series. Everything on the latter version just seems too loud and garish where as the first one is the right combination of wacky and class.

Maybe that's strange but hey.
