More BUZZR Lost & Found coming 9/28 and 9/29

[SRIV94]

Buzzr's online schedule goes far enough to show the Lost & Found schedule now.

9/29:

4PM: To Tell the Truth #1554 (1973)
4:30: To Tell the Truth #1512 (1973)

I'm having a feeling that these will be the Orville Reddenbacher and Richard Buggy episodes just based off if the infamy involved.

You’re half right.  1512 is the Reddenbacher ep, but 1554 is the dog food ep.

The Buggy ep was 1724 (1973-74 season).

I thought that the set change from the "less mod" set to the blue and white set came with the start of 1973-74? Or did they do it mid-stream that season rather than switch the set alongside with the studio (Ed Sullivan to NBC 6A) and announcer (Johnny Olson to Bill Wendell)?

I had a feeling that if it wasn't one of those, it was the dog food episode. Thanks!

They were already at 30 Rock by then.  I believe they moved in 1972 (not sure whether it was the 1971-72 season or the 1972-73 season), but Johnny did announce some of the shows at 30 Rock.

Some YouTube-snooping points to 1971 as the year they moved. The set change must've happened around that time; I'd have to think the psychedelic set would not have fit in 6A (or CBS wouldn't have approved of its being relocated to NBC).

Good catch.  Appears to be even earlier than that (you linked to 1032, and I found that 841 was also from 30 Rock [that was six weeks into the 1971-72 season]).

9/30:

4PM: Classic Concentration #0001 (5/4/87)
4:30: Classic Concentration #0002 (5/5/87)

So it's the first two shows. I thought they might  air the Orson Bean pilot.

Re: the TTTT set change -- comparing the matchgame.org TTTT listings with Marshall Aakers' site lets us pin down some milestones in the series' run.

Buzzr's episode number for the Redenbacher and dog food episodes are the same as those on Marshall's site, so his index must have the seasons correctly divided:
http://www.ttttontheweb.com

Matchgame.org does have accurate panel listings (along with GSN airdates and even tape dates when the series was rerun in "WinTV" format), but the first 13 weeks of S3 are misfiled at the end of S2, throwing the season divisions off:
https://web.archive.org/web/20030401082939/http://www.matchgame.org:80/episodeguides/tttt/

It would seem that the set changed from its psychedelic hues to the blue/pink/gold appearance starting in week 5 of S3, or week 83 of the sydicated run. (I'd guess that the same set was used from 1969 until early 1973, just with a new paint job midway through, and there were some touch-ups even during the psychedelic weeks.)

The blue/white set with the block-letter logo was introduced with the taping session of 1-23-1973, corresponding to week 31 of S4 (week 148 of the syndicated run).

No idea when the series moved from the Ed Sullivan Theatre to 6A.

The first day of the blue/white set, they only did four shows due to difficulties with the new set. I remember that from sitting in the audience.

Wasn't the Bean pilot just called Concentration?

Yes, it was.

I missed the 7pm The Better Sex, but the 7:30 episode had the Mean Machine mens team.
Was the 7pm episode one that hasn't been traded around?

No.  It's one that isn't on the circuit, nor has GSN aired it.

Bob from that first episode looks darn familiar.

Edit:  He was a champ on You Don't Say! in 1978, on the episode in circulation from that version.

[snowpeck]

GilmoreBox posted the opening of the 7PM episode, so it was circulating but not widely.

[Ian Wallis]

Interesting.  Is it safe to assume that Freemantle's GT library mirrors what GSN has/had?  I wonder if this is an episode GSN had all along but never got around to airing, or it's something that was in Freemantle's holdings that GSN didn't have.  I ask because GSN aired pretty much all of the GT library that they had access to.
 Maybe there's a bit more of this show around than we thought.

Compared to Tattletales, the graphics on HSSS looked primitive. But they managed to get some big names, like Hal Holbrook. Plus we got to see Dick Clark with wife number two, Loretta, and it's always nice to hear Johnny O on any game show.
