Some personal favorites that have not:

1) New Hollywood Squares - John Davidson
2) $100,000 Pyramid - John Davidson
  (Seriously, what will it take to watch one of my favorite underrated game show hosts?!)
3) Family Feud - 1994 Richard Dawson

(I do have to reluctantly give the person you replied to some credit: Davidson's HS is THE older show, regardless of who owns it, that we know still exists that I wish would turn up somewhere

Also regarding the one Fremantle-owned show on their list: I actually do think it's a little surprising that so little of Feud '94 has run on Buzzr. Never on the regular schedule, and the full hour of the Halloween show and the Betty vs. Carol half hours are all that have turned up in stunts AFAIK. Given how much of his earlier, more well-regarded, versions haven't rerun I'm not holding out hope any time this millennium - since "running out of Gene eps" is almost assuredly a reason we're getting MG 90 now - but I really liked the 1994 iteration and of what Fremantle's sitting on still, Feud '94 is fairly high on my wishlist.

I'm not sure who the source is for this (possibly John Ricci) but it's my understanding that the masters for Davidson Squares are currently missing.

I'm hoping for TNPiR'94, though I figure there's still some hangups with CBS.

What hang-ups?  I'm surprised this and Kennedy PIR haven't been seen more .

You do realize that even though it’s largely the same company the network has to PAY for the rights to air these shows. Different shows, even different versions of the same show, have different costs attached to them because specific profit participants differ.

Ratings, such as they are, are inconsequential, and BUZZR’s distribution and reach has diminished over time. 

Fremantle’s mandate to irs management is to come as close to making money as possible.

Therefore, fewer episodes at a time are licensed from cheaper series. 

It’s quite likely the titles you’re “clamoring” for simply aren’t worth the trouble or the expense.
