Looks like Buzzr is doing "Back To School Week" starting August 12th! The commercial just posted to their FB page. Maybe our next small chance for some fresh content??!! The Card Sharks clip is not from a Young Players' week. $ale is from August 1988 End of SUmmer bash. Feud is from Daytime Combs era. The PYL week which was called Back to School week wasn't seen in the video. Feud is from the CBS Daytime College Week from May 1991 with Art James as a fill-in that we've already in last year's Spring Break Week long stunt. There might not be any fresh episodes for this year's Back To School stunt unless Buzzr can get the College Week episodes of the daytime Feud from July 1989.

By the looks of the schedule once again Supermarket Sweep goes back to the first season of the shows ¹PAx revival after August 2 which episode 1611. Makes me wonder if Buzzr will ever air episodes from other seasons fresh or not.

This makes four 80 episodes that are actually 79 episodes.
Which was the first of the 4? I'm sure it's mentioned somewhere in this thread. ? 80-18-4 80-19-2 80-19-3

What about this? Would it count? Bet Buzzr meant to play #81-35-5 in June 2023, but their vision problems from looking at how the tapes were labeled probably made them think #80-35-5 was the finale. The other was #80-12-3.

I would jump for joy if they were able to play the 1989 College Week. For those who are not aware, the Thursday episode of that week is on YouTube from its original broadcast. The Card Sharks clip is not from a Young Players' week. $ale is from August 1988 End of SUmmer bash. Feud is from Daytime Combs era. The PYL week which was called Back to School week wasn't seen in the video. Feud is from the CBS Daytime College Week from May 1991 with Art James as a fill-in that we've already in last year's Spring Break Week long stunt.

Classic Concentration had two College weeks in 1989 that we've already seen that may or may not be included in it. Out of these ten College Week episodes, the only one that BUZZR has not shown in episode # 458, original air date, Thursday, February 23, 1989, which was Day Four of that particular College Week. Fingers crossed we get that one!

About Classic Concentration's upcoming episodes:
Episodes 970-979 were skipped. This is the largest number of (consecutive) episodes skipped ever (if my memory serves me right).
After releasing episodes 980-985, BUZZR seems to have stopped releasing new CC episodes thereafter. There was in fact one week (two weeks ago if I remember right) where there were virtually no CC episodes (not even the older 1987 ones) aired on BUZZR at all. It is now July 22nd as I type this, and episode 985 aired on June 5th; this is to date, the longest gap between fresh batches of CC episodes.
Late last week, I got a copyright strike for uploading CC episode 870 to YouTube. This is not something one gets every day - up till this time YouTube's Content ID bots have classed CC as "allowed the content to be used on YouTube" - and additionally, the copyright owner listed was not BUZZR, but Fremantle. This is very interesting because BUZZR was supposed to have acquired the entire series in 2018 - but it seems that they may not have acquired every episode.
As I am told, BUZZR never announces fresh episodes; and reviewing the upcoming schedule of CC episodes on BUZZR (https://buzzrtv.com/schedule) no longer reveals what date the episodes were aired on. Notice also on that schedule, how any CC episodes that are aired are always anywhere between 1987 and 1990; there has never been any "Classic Concentration 91" at all to date (even though they did air some 1991 episodes dated between January and early April 1991, they were listed as "Classic Concentration 90"). It may well be possible that BUZZR may not have the copyright to the episodes from 1991; they may well still be under Fremantle and not BUZZR. This supports my speculation in the previous paragraph that BUZZR may not have acquired every single episode of CC from Fremantle.
Call me paranoid, but given the above pieces of evidence, I therefore would speculate the possibility that BUZZR may well have decided to no longer air any of the new episodes beyond 985, possibly due to copyright reasons.
What does everyone else think?

Fingers crossed we get that one! I'd say fingers crossed we get any Classic Concentration episodes beyond 985. If at all. There was another special in mid May 1991 if I understand correctly, not a College Week but a "celebration of Moms" week. Or something to that effect (correct me if I'm wrong). Now if there was any special that would be really exciting to watch, that would take the cake. However, given the circumstances, it may be possible that may never happen at all - see my post above.

I do not think there is anything to worry about. None of what you said means anything.
Other NBC game shows that are on the channel don't list the airdates, and they're still airing.
As for the 90 and 91 thing, I think Buzzr simply made a mistake. When they showed the final two episodes in June 2023, they forgot to change it to 91, and because of that, January-April 1991 are counted as 90.

OK, assuming we gave benefit of the doubt here, then how do we explain the following: - the unusually large gap between fresh episodes (it has been more than 5 weeks since they aired 985, their most recent to date)? - the unusually large skip of episodes 970-979, a total of 10 consecutive episodes skipped all at once?

1) I think something changed at the network. Now, they wait until it has reached where they left off to resume. In April, it had been three months since the last fresh episodes.
2) I think 980-985 were shown because it was an Easter theme. I don't think it had anything to do with copyright. Again, there have been many instances where they went back and showed something that they previously skipped.
