Buzzr's current schedule - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I looked at their schedule. It appears TTTT would not be the Bud Collyer version.

I'm learning something, looking at their live stream. I didn't know Alex Trebek hosted Concentration. I'm old--I remember the Hugh Downs version.

I also remember when Hugh Downs hosted Concentration. In those days, the puzzle board had 30 squares. In the Alex Trebek version, the puzzle board has 25 squares instead of 30. Not good, I don't like it.

I would like to see the Hugh Downs shows but the fools at NBC probably wiped/erased the episodes.

Many people don’t remember the 80’s.

It was really nice seeing the Classic Concentration eight episode marathon tonight, followed by two Supermarket Sweep episodes. Buzzr has an excellent idea livestreaming their lineup. I would like to see other diginets like Me-TV, Cozi, Heroes and Icons, Decades, etc. start so we wouldn't need an affiliate to see them.

Buzzr double ran that in the 1-2 am Monday morning slot for so long I swear it eventually felt like I had every episode memorized.

To be perfectly honest, I kinda find Classic Concentration boring!!!

As a kid seeing the old Concentration I thought that was pretty boring too! I never really watched it myself but back than without having lots of channels or several TV's like families do now , if someone else in my family was watching it well that was what was on!!

Antenna TV would be a nice diginet to have as well.

Buzzr will be airing a marathon of The Great Christmas Light Fight the Sunday after Thanksgiving, I saw an ad for it during Supermarket Sweep earlier. Hopefully this is a one time thing and doesn't start a bad trend of reality shows coming to what was an all game show network.

I hope this doesn't mean that reality shows are coming to the network.

Today's episode of Supermarket Sweep was unusual. All three teams were tied at 2:20 going into the big shopping round.

It looks like it is just a one time thing.

Something in this weekend's listings on Buzzr's site that I hope is a glitch and not a bad new development: infomercials in the evening PM hours. Saturday shows paid programming from 7-8PM instead of the 4th Classic Concentration hour, and Sunday shows paid programming from 6-7PM instead of Super Password. It is one thing to have infomercials in early morning slots but not near primetime.

Heads up:

I just saw a commercial for a Match Game time machine marathon, which means that all three versions of the show will be shown.

Sometime in early January this will be premiering.

This is interesting. I've read that a lot of the NBC daytime (original) versions have been lost. I just checked Wikipedia, and supposedly, of over 1700 NBC 60s episodes, only 11 survive, 10 as black and white kinescopes, and (somehow) one color videotape from 1969.

I just saw the commercial. It's on Jan.6 and the 3 eras they're advertising showing are some of the black and whites, the Rayburn era everyone's familiar with, and the current Alec Baldwin version.
