When you watched ep. 8 of P+ from Buzzr, did you notice anything that may have warranted a skip?

When you watched ep. 8 of P+ from Buzzr, did you notice anything that may have warranted a skip? I’m gonna need to watch it again. I mean Tony Randall is on the episode, so anything is possible.

I have the video uploaded on my channel:
Looks like the puzzle at 11:22 is very likely the reason why this has been pulled from the rotation (and why it's not on Amazon either). Some snowflake probably got offended.

We need to bombard Buzzr with letters, telling them to reinstate it.

There's a lot of things I'd love to see reinstated because of "controversial" material on an episode. The 49th episode of Match Game 73 comes to mind.
For all we know, someone working at Buzzr could've been "offended" by the puzzle.

Yeah. I just don't believe that someone just randomly watched the episode on Buzzr, and wrote to them, telling them to please remove it because of that puzzle.

I'm not sure which is worse: This, or Bob Barker being offended by Holly Hallstrom and fur coats. Unfortunately, Barker's a snowflake, too.

Are we sure it was because of that? It doesn't make sense to start skipping it now after all these years already being rerun on GSN and Buzzr. This show was in no way endorsing the group of said puzzle in question.

This show was in no way endorsing the group of said puzzle in question. Please note the following below is pure speculation, and not fact, so please don't take it as fact: I only said it was very likely, which can leave some room for doubt. As I said earlier, what my have not been politically incorrect a few years ago, is now politically incorrect. Yes, the show was not even endorsing the group. But whoever decided to pull it, whether it was influenced by a viewer, or some Buzzr/Freemantle employee, seemed to be offended with that as a puzzle. After all, we do seem to live in a world where people seriously look for things that offend them. That being said, if that is the reason, I disagree 100%. Yes, I shun the KKK and deeply loathe them, but I'm not in one way offended by the puzzle.

I don’t see how the puzzle was offensive but whatever. It’s censored from airing. My guess is maybe with today’s hyper polarized society people don’t want that puzzle.

Political Correctness run amok. PC is just a polite liberal way of disguising what it really is, CENSORSHIP!

And secondly do not generalize and speak in absolutes. Generalizing and speaking in absolutes is why people hate each other.

I tried emailing Buzzr inquiring why they now skip the episode. I got a very generic response.
I should've mentioned they did air it in February. My bad.
