According to the Card Sharks Episode Guide, Episode #720 aired on February 5. How were you able to come up with tape dates for these? All NBC daytime shows were pre-empted on January 20, 1981 so #720 did air on February 6, 1981.

There was another preemption you guys are forgetting that resulted in #720 airing on February 6, 1981:
Ronald Reagan vowed to have the hostages in the Iran Crisis freed if he was president, and true to his word, all of them were. It was huge news, and it made sense for the networks to run Daytime News Specials about it. On January 27, that was what they did.
And since Card Sharks was now airing Noon, it didn't get preempted for Christmas Day like Las Vegas Gambit & Blockbusters were at that time. It didn't get preempted for Thanksgiving Day 1980, either.

Even with the Reagan inauguration, Episode #720 would still be on February 5. And if Card Sharks was pre-empted on January 27 as Vahan says, then that would mean there were only 863 shows instead of 864. According to the Card Sharks Episode Guide, Episode #720 aired on February 5. How were you able to come up with tape dates for these? All NBC daytime shows were pre-empted on January 20, 1981 so #720 did air on February 6, 1981.

Guys, #720 was still on February 6, 1981. Look:
July 14, 1980 was Republican National Convention coverage, which prompted Monday-Friday to begin with a 4 or a 9 in the last digit and end with a 3 or an 8. September 8-26, 1980's Game Show Hosts Tournament was #614-#628. November 10-28, 1980's Celebrity Tournament was #659-#673.
And three preemptions on January 1, 20, and 27, 1981 perfectly round out #720 to February 6. Nothing confusing, or throws a monkey wrench into this.

Those are all correct. #740 aired on March 6, 1981 then the entire November 1980 Celebrity Tournament was repeated on March 9-27, 1981. Someone asked us if Buzzr reran any episode where a player wins a $500 bonus for running the board without freezing at any point, the answer is no. In the now 8 years Buzzr has been on the air and in the now 5 years it's been live online streaming on the smartphones, they haven't rerun a single episode from the 1981 calendar year.

And when you include the eight weeks in 1981 that consisted of periodic reruns and one more preemption, the final episode total comes out to 864.
One thing I've been questioning is if the the Jim Perry finale aired originally on 10/23/81. On 10/6, Egyptian president Anwar Sadat was assassinated.

If all goes well and if Buzzr can get a good amount of fresh episodes of Card Sharks upcoming without any farther skips, we may finally get to see the June 2-3, 1980 episodes since the June 2 episode was skipped because of the Match Game Memorial Day Marathon and the June 3 episode is another that Game Show Warehouse never got to record. Maybe Spencer Denison might have the latter since he's brilliant in uploading 6 hour and 8 hour GSN programming uploads.

Except the Episode Guide listed Card Sharks as being pre-empted on July 29, 1981 for the wedding of Charles and Diane, as was Password Plus, and Wheel of Fortune. So that would be one extra pre-emption. Speaking of which, do we know why NBC game shows went into reruns for so much of 1981? And when you include the eight weeks in 1981 that consisted of periodic reruns and one more preemption, the final episode total comes out to 864.

Card Sharks aired at Noon that day. Guessing the Wedding coverage was over by then. And Family Feud aired over at ABC on that day, too. www.newspapers.com/search/?query=Card%20Sharks&t=7802&ymd=1981-07-29I don't know why NBC game shows had so many reruns in 1981. Another thing: Where's that fandom guide for the Jim Perry version? I'm just gonna wait until Buzzr reaches 1981 to know for sure. The intended airdates (as shown on the slates before each episode) are typically listed in the schedule for this run.

Do we know if there is a Black History Month salute for the end of February this year? In a promo today, a clip of Cab Calloway’s appearance on Narz Beat the Clock was featured

For Press Your Luck, July 4, 1985 episode was seen on Buzzr before, in fact was shown very early in Buzzr's life. Body Language #204 was part of the regular rotation when Imad began having access to Buzzr by Dish Network.

YES! to the fresh episodes of Press Your Luck. Hopefully they won't speed up the episodes like GSN did AND it's more than 30 episodes. We're almost close to the neon board.
