I kinda had a feeling it was 130. Most USA Network Canadian originals of the late 80's seemed to average that per season. Jackpot!, Chain Reaction, Love Me, Love Me Not, and Bumper Stumpers. All those.

Fandango, Top Card, and 10 Seconds on TNN also did 130 episodes per season. Ditto Debt on Lifetime.

Observation about the Bill Cullen Price is Right episode numbers. Three "fresh" episodes air on Feb 16 - 59_008, 009 and 010. The schedule say these are the 1/7/59, 1/14/59 and 1/21/59 - obviously the first three episodes of that year.
The 59_001 episode they aired is from August and the rest follow from the back half of the year. It appears that Buzzr is numbering them as they convert them... which doesn't really make sense.

Yikes. That's going to create indexing confusion if they're not careful.

No worse than how they numbered other B&W shows (WML?, IGAS, TTTT)

The other shows' numbering follow in chronological order for the episodes they "have." If they are following the same numbering method the distinction here is that they decided to jump around in the years for the episodes they're choosing to air. With the other shows they rolled them out / converted them in chronological order.

I know I rarely post here, but I just wanted to point out that there's a chance that these three 1959 episodes (and hopefully others) were only recently discovered. They never aired on GSN.

Looking at rewindium's episode guide, it seems Game TV skipped Brian's 5th episode of Split Second. The second one that aired today was his 4th. That would probably tie it in to the 130 count.

So far Buzzr has aired 43 episodes - these would make 46. How many did GSN air? Is there a good episode guide available?

Jamie Locklin said over 70 episodes exist, but I'm pretty sure it's way higher than that (of course, mostly the primetime ones).

I'm noting from the Classic Concentration Wikia Fan Page updated by Vahan that the May 12, 1988 episode is being skipped by BUZZR and that a copy is in circulation on YouTube if it's true. Is there a link or what? I would at least like to see it.

This is taped off a rerun. While the poster says it was taped March 9, 1993, it is from June 14th or later as a promo for John and Leeza's talk show is seen, which premiered on June 14, 1993(the show later became the longer-running Leeza)

It seems for 1993, NBC did a fair amount of shuffling back and forth with July 1987-July 1988 episodes.
