My guess is it's a marathon celebrating the Oscars, which are on 3/12. A lot of the celebrity-type shows have Oscar winners. The Super Password has Academy member Leonard Maltin. One of the TTTTs has Sacheen Littlefeather (who infamously declined Marlon Brando's Oscar for him one year) and the O'Hurley TTTT has an accountant who knows the Oscar winners ahead of time.

Makes a bunch more sense. Thanks!

This Sunday (2/26) from 8:00 PM-12:00 AM ET, Buzzr is running a four hour marathon of rarities and not-so rarities in celebration of Black History Month.
8:00 PM: TTTT '90 (a Lynn Swann-hosted episode, number unknown)
8:30 PM: WML '71 (Mystery Guest: Odetta)
9:00 PM: IGAS '66 (OAD 10/17/66, jazz bagpipist Rufus Harley is a contestant)
9:30 PM: WML '74 (Mystery Guest: Ruby Dee)
10:00 PM: Super Password '88 (OAD week of 4/25-29/88, Scoey Mitchell and a big endgame win)
10:30 PM: Beat the Clock '71 (Guest: Cab Calloway)
11:00 PM: Family Feud [SYN] '85 ('84 US Olympians week w/Evelyn Ashford)
11:30 PM: Body Language '85 (one of two weeks with Kim Fields)
If memory serves me right, this is the first time Buzzr has touched Swann TTTT or Narz Beat The Clock and one of the few times they've delved into Allen-era IGAS or Bruner-era WML.

They've aired Swann's version during Betty Christmas marathons, but I think your assertion's applicable to Elliott's tenure unless I missed it.
Correct about Narz BtC, and I'd hope the recent dust-off of the '70s BtC leads to a spot on the regular lineup.

The clip in the promo is from Week 14 (Jay Johnstone/ Vicki Lawrence(-Schultz)/Orson/Kitty) so it's probably a new-to-Buzzr episode.
