Anyone have "BUZZR" channel on their over the air lineup? Just came across this when I was flipping channels. The game shows shown so far are Match Game, To Tell The Truth, Super Password, Tattle Tales, Let's Make A Deal, Family Feud, I've Got A Secret, Press Your Luck, Card Sharks, What's My Line, and I think a few others.

I don't know, but I'll look for it. GSN has jumped the Card Sharks.

BUZZR is a FOX owned sub-channel. They show TO TELL THE TRUTH, WHAT'S MY LINE, and I'VE GOT A SECRET at 2 A.M. to 6 A.M. EST. They show the same three episodes twice with original commercials.

I dusted off the old VCR and am recording these as a time shift. They have been on about a month and this week is reruns already!!

I just learned this channel existed, and that I happen to live in an area that has it.

Finally, a real Game Show Network again. I hope Fremantle adds more to the lineup over time. The 800 lb. gorilla in the corner is The Price is Right.

I would like to see some old episodes of The Joker's Wild.

I saw this while back in Philly last month.

It's great seeing those old game shows.

Hope DTV adds it.

It's Sony-owned, so they can't.

Unless Sony wants to either start a similar channel, or acquire some Buzzr shares.

Sony has always owned part of GSN, and they don't do a damn thing with that anymore other than offload crappy reality shows onto it and drive the same run of Pyramid into the ground.

I was watching Family Feud today and thought of a stragedy that no one seems to use. Why don't they "pass" instead of "play"? Seems to me most times a family that decides to play don't get all the answers and the other team gets group time to come up with an answer. Doesn't it seem the odds would be on your side to "steal" and come up with a group answer?

Depends on how difficult the category is.

If it's a category that has a lot of potential answers (6 or 7 or more), that probably is the best strategy. But in a 3 or 4 answer round, it's probably not wise.

As to why contestants don't do it? I dunno, they don't think of it? Don't want to give up control of the board just in case?

And speaking of Family Feud, where is the Ray Combs run? I love the concept of Buzzr, but they could do with adding some more variety to the line-up.

I now have this. Interesting that the B&W panel shows seem to include their original commercials, which was never the case on GSN.

Bob Gu · Aug 25, 2015

Yeah, I spotted Ruta Lee, as a stewardess, and Quinn Redeker, as her boyfriend, in a Helene Curtis commercial.

I think there is a historical,(as originally presented), section in the fair use description in the copyright law. Maybe this applies to something as old as these panel shows.

I like the commercial where they state that ANACIN is good for depression.

The Obsolete Man · Sep 7, 2015

"New" episodes have finally started on Buzzr.

Also, it's the beginning of their "Lost and Found" week. Tonight, some episodes from Match Game 6X. Tomorrow... Ray Combs Family Feud.

TonyD · Sep 7, 2015

What is match game 6x?

The original 60s run, where they played it straight.

I'm not the bigest fan of To Tell The Truth, What's My Line and I've Got A Secret but I watch them just for the sponsor commercials.

Bob Gu · Sep 8, 2015

The celebrity guest stunts, with the panel participation, thing they do on I've Got A Secret is kind of uninteresting. I had no memory of that part of the show. I like the regular panel, though.

I do enjoy the question and answer aspect of To Tell The Truth and What's My Line. I would find it interesting to find out which celebrities appeared on all three shows as guest panelists. Johnny Carson, definitely, Don Ameche, Faye Emmerson, Sam Levenson and Betty White appeared on at least two, maybe all three.

And also which contestants appeared on all three shows. The man that was building the Crazy Horse Monument and a man that went over Niagara Falls were both on To Tell The Truth and I've Got A Secret.

Well, after two weeks of 'new' shows, TTTT,WML, and IGAS are showing reruns again?

At least they showed one of the more memorable commercials from the sixties: The AERO-WAX commercial where they shoot a submachine gun at a plane canopy. I can see now that it was really animation that showed the bullets bouncing off.

The reruns are showing the Ruta Lee commercial again. She plays a passenger in the commercial not a stewardess as I mis-thought.

I still don't understand all the reruns. It there some plan? Or are they just not paying attention. I have been watching Ozzie and Harriet on RETRO for the past two months and they rerun a lot of the same episodes too.
