[TeeVeeCloset]

Hi Game Show Fans!

In case you are not getting BUZZR (Launched 6/1/15) my DVD recorder has been burning up nearly 24/7....I am also so surprised as to the superb quality of these classics, some dating back 55 years!

Some highlights, their two hour overnight block of Black & White classics (Buzz till Dawn) are being shown in 40 minute slots as to include totally UNEDITED episodes with the original commercials. Nothing is blurred out from sponsor set placements. Currently airing in this nightly block are 1960 episodes of "To Tell The Truth" (Collyer), "What's My Line" (Daly) & "I've Got A Secret" (Moore).

Another highlight which is scheduled to start tonight Saturday, 6/6/15 is a 3 hour block called "BUZZR TIME MACHINE", it is being advertised as series from 50s, 60s, 70s & 80s. Here is the schedule of what has run already, as I'm recording to DVD each Saturday night.

6/6/15 "Let's Make A Deal" #1 included reflections with Monty Hall & Wayne Brady together at Monty's house in between 12/30/63 NBC episode, audience did not dress up till 1964 episodes. Started on ABC 1968.

Between BUZZR and the newly launched "Decades" channel this truly is a renewed golden age of classic TV joining the more widely available MeTV, Antenna TV & COZI channels.

Refer to post #1 updated weekly "BUZZR TIME MACHINE" schedule.

As for your question the classic CBS daytime (9/19/83-9/26/86) Peter Tomarken episodes are running. BTW only the B&W classics run with the original commercials.

That doesn't answer my question. I asked what episodes of Press Your Luck are airing (earlier or later episodes).

I have been accused here (not that I care) of providing too much factual information in answering posts.

I took the time to provide a simple answer to what was asked first...."What episodes are running?". Two days after your inquiry without any responses, I answered the one line question, remember it is ones' choice to respond, not an obligation.

According to the 2nd Edition of "The Encyclopedia Of TV Game Shows" I listed the short 3 years it was produced & broadcast on CBS, your question did not specify earlier or later episodes until I answered. The book makes no mention of format changes.

Unless you elaborate I have no answer because I see no difference in series format as they are running fourteen episodes a week. If it helps every program on BUZZR are owned/distributed by Freemantle.

I respectfully suggest a bit of humbleness when posting and someone responds with time & effort or you can continue to live up to your chosen screenname. LOL

Now it seems lately if posters end their post with LOL, you can say anything, so since your inquiry originally was to "Holy Christ", I asked him and he had the same answer. LOL

Watch out for the Whammy! LOL

Opinion: The threads/posts/members have taken a drastic change in tone since this sites' inception over a decade ago. Member "TV Knowledge fan" you are truly missed since last posting on 8/21/14.

Thank you for the info teeveecloset, It's appreciated. I think what wiseguy wanted was a little more specific info. The time range you listed covers all 750-800 episodes of Press Your Luck. Do you know if they started from episode 1 and are going in order or if they are just skipping around. If we knew the contestants names from a couple episodes that would help narrow it down.

Dang I wish I had this channel.

Nothing against "wiseguy", I was just having fun & sincerely needed more information that you so directly & kindly cleared up. I promise, give me a few days and I will post some contestant names. My total respect to all. Thank you again!

I can see where they're coming from. You talked about black and white shows in your first response to me, when I hadn't asked about that at all.

You didn't, and still have not, answered my question. If you didn't know the answer, you shouldn't have responded. Please stop acting like you've done me a favor because you haven't.

I said "Which episodes are running?", which is the same thing as asking if they are running earlier or later episodes.

Actually, it does make a huge difference. Some episodes have not aired anywhere in close to 20 years. The format is irrelevant. It's that certain episodes are extremely rare.

Again, you haven't done me any favors.

Yeah, I am sure He (note the capitalization) took time out from much more important things to answer your question about a game show. LOL!

Thanks for reminding me why I stick to the Unsolved Mysteries forum almost exclusively now.

Oh yeah, you just issued an 8 paragraph verbal jab against me over a trivial issue, suggesting I have played a significant part in the "decline" of this forum. But no hard feelings, eh?

Have any Buzzr viewers noticed how episodes are aired chronologically BACKWARDS? If you haven't, watch carefully tomorrow night.

"Match Game 78" is the most obvious. The episode airing at 9PM EDT. and MID. EDT. is the episode which, chronologically, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWS the episode airing at 9:30PM EDT. and 12:30AM EDT.

Additionally, some of the "Buzz till Dawn" monochrone shows airing tonight are rebroadcasts of those which aired last week. Prior to the launch, it was publicly stated that Buzzr has access to the vast Fremantle Media library. However, it would appear that a very small percentage of that library is seeing any broadcast time.

I do like how the original sponsored ads are left in the monochrome game shows, and greatly appreciate that, at least for now, these spots are left in the broadcasts.

I really hope the people scheduling programming for Buzzr are not the same people running their FB page. If so, this diginet may be doomed

ALL AGREED and I did notice it, fustrating when Match Game is left hanging LOL, Tattletales seems to be fine.

I watch the double run with different episodes on Saturday mornings of the monochrome series but am waiting for late 60's color "To Tell The Truth" & "Beat The Clock" which is seen in the BUZZR Time Machine promo with Soupy Sales riding the bike I believe. Best part of any early network, is full credits, promotional consideration artcards, etc.

Hopefully since I don't think they have any cable carriage yet, they will get a fuller schedule. I too am watching 9.3 in metro area and recording directly to DVD.

You might have seen the confusion over me not sincerely really understanding a question about PYL (I know about the contestant who figured out board pattern) but was never a big fan and since three years was a short run, I had no idea that GSN wasn't running all of them. I know the series has a big following, Currently BUZZR is running early fall 1983 episodes.
