Screw you Buzzr! I had been looking forward to today, but an awful livestream that kept going out has prevented me from enjoying it. Their livestream used to be a lot more reliable. It is not my computer either, I saw Peacock fine yesterday. And it is clear weather with no trace of storms. :mad:

Buzzr was nice enough to send me a link to their YouTube channel where the Lost and Found shows are available through Monday. Here is my rank from best to worst of them.
1. Split Personality 10/10- I was shocked to see Tom Poston hosting! I have seen him as a celebrity on later game shows like Super Password, but didn't know he started out as a game show host before moving to the scripted side with all his good roles like Newhart. Game play on Split Personality was really good too. That is the second Split show I have liked from Buzzr, with the first being their regular show Split Second. A Split hour at 10AM would be cool with Blockbusters moving later on weekdays cutting one of the numerous Match Game daytime/evening airings.
2. Call My Bluff 8/10- good gameplay
3. Number Please 8/10- similar to Now You See It but better. It needs a bonus round for the winning contestant though. This was very close to Call My Bluff in enjoyment, really a hare difference there.
4. What's Going On 6/10- The Jack Benny portion I enjoyed. But a whole heap of ugly cross-dressing men is really racy for something from the 1950s.
5. Get the Message 4/10- has some decent gameplay but not like the first four shows. And even with my computer at top volume, this show is very soft. I didn't have that problem with any of the others.
6. Say When! 0/10- This was dull as dirt and one of the most boring game shows I have ever seen. I have not ranked everything into this year's overall list but already know this is the new last place show for everything that I have seen at least one full episode of in 2020. If the other five shows started airing more frequently on Buzzr, I would watch them again. This show though, was meant to be forgotten.

I just sent them this email with a good schedule suggestion.
Thanks for the link! I was able to see the entire lost and found block today and largely enjoyed it. With the exception of Say When!, I would be interested in seeing more of everything else if you aired them regularly. I especially liked Split Personality, was shocked to see Tom Poston started out as a game show host before his comedy gigs. A Split hour at 10AM would be cool, made me think of schedule improvements you could do to put more variety in on weekdays to cut down on the overload of Match Game.

11AM Match Game
11:30AM Match Game
12PM Concentration (Jack Narz)
12:30PM Double Dare (Alex Trebek)- This sadly left your channel before I started streaming it. Now that you have his Concentration, it would be a natural Alex block for Double Dare to lead into it.

2PM Password
2:30PM Password Plus (Allen Ludden)
3PM Super Password
3:30PM Tattletales
4PM Card Sharks (Jim Perry)- Your daytime tango ad was cool.
4:30PM Card Sharks (Bob Eubanks)
5PM Blockbusters (Bill Cullen)

6PM Match Game
6:30PM Match Game
7PM Match Game PM
7:30PM Sale of the Century
8PM Supermarket Sweep (David Ruprecht)- I miss when this had a full hour in primetime. And getting the original Bill Malone version for weekends would be a great pickup.
8:30PM Supermarket Sweep (David Ruprecht)
9PM Debt- I haven't seen this since its original Lifetime run on vacation. The same was true of Supermarket Sweep,, Debt's Lifetime companion, until you started airing it.
9:30PM Win Ben Stein's Money- I noticed this show was on your survey of what new shows should be added. It is at the top of my list.
10PM Let's Make a Deal
