Does Buzzr have the leases to the entire runs of these sshows?

Well, considering Buzzr is owned by the same people that own the shows, I'm pretty sure that point is rather moot, no?

I know different arms of Sony have sued each other, so I won't assume Buzzr doesn't have hoops to jump through at Fremantle.

There was a flap over FX getting the rights to M*A*S*H reruns too cheaply also that I think set some precedent in the industry. There apparently are some issues keeping Buzzr from getting more episodes, that they aren't happy about either, so who knows.
