« on: February 08, 2021, 02:14:11 PM »
Looks like when Concentration moves to mornings, it'll remain fresh!

- Blockbusters returns to 166 on 2/26
- Body Language stays fresh
- Classic Concentration at 8PM ET jumps back to #62
- the evening Password Plus looks like it's jumping around all sorts of places in 1980
- Card Sharks '78 goes back to 142

We run out of new Cullen Price that week as well. They go on to shows from 1962 that they've shown before.

Looks like three Lucy eps (with Dick Martin) and two Betty While/Gene Rayburn eps (think they've all been shown before in various Buzzr tribute blocks).  What 3/1 brings will be the acid test.

I've enjoyed watching these "new" Cullen TPIR episodes from 1959. It's been fun seeing them air in pretty much consecutive order, with only a few skips.

3/1 and 3/2 are the two Kennedy-hosted eps from their tribute (OAD:  10/28-29/80), then they go back to May 1979 on 3/3.

Good news and bad news...

Bad news: Last fresh Narz Concentration is on 2/26; on 3/1 they start shuffling through them, same way they do Supermarket Sweep.
Good news: We get fresh Classic Concentration (1pm hour) starting on 3/8!

Tonight at 10 CT I tuned in BUZZR expecting to see Narz Concentration only to find it was an 80s Trebek version.  I didn't see it at 7 PM CT or either broadcast yesterday (Monday the 22), so please tell me without being snide, is BUZZR out of Narz shows and only Trebeks will air in their place?  I DID see the message that the last fresh Narz ep will be this Friday.

On the Thursday episode of Concentration, they played the Money Game at the end of the show and, unlike normal instances when it is played, it was actually solved before the time's up buzzer sounded. Which is cool, because I don't know if I've seen that before. What was weird was that after the show came back from a final break Jack explained to the winning contestant that because she had solved the puzzle and there wasn't time to play for the car in Double Play, that she'd just be awarded $500, which...confuses me? I thought the Money Game was solely a bonus and all you won was the money you had accumulated (or $50 if you had no money). Was it a rule if you solve a puzzle before time's up you're supposed to play Double Play?
Me: Of all of the game shows you've hosted besides Jeopardy!, like High Rollers or Classic Concentration, which is your favorite?

^ the "bouncing" won't last much longer; on Wednesday the 3rd they go to episode 94 (Nancy Lane and Jon Bauman, 5/17/79) and go in order from there.

It's a habit of Buzzr.  They run what they have so far, then jump to whatever they converted for marathons/etc. then go back.  They happened to have those Kennedy episodes from the TK tribute, for instance.
I'm a pacifist, and even I would like to see a little more action.

They're literally airing them in numerical order based upon what they've converted.
