If I had to guess the most likely shows to be renewed would be Classic Concentration with spring 1991, Dawson Feud with the summer of 1983, Password Plus with the fall of 1981 and Press Your Luck with March to June 1986. For us PYL fans, we are curious if Buzzr will be able to rerun episodes 665 to 667 and episodes 676 to 678. The latest PYL rerun was episode 636 for reference not counting episodes 643, 646, 651, 655, 660 and 697 that premiered priorly to 636 And then see if the miraculous will happen with the 700's. I have been reassured several times that they exist at Fremantle.

The 1989 College Week is going to be shown? Excellent! Hopefully they'll publish the schedules with the production numbers and air dates so we can find out where they go in the order. buzzrtv.com/schedule/schedule_by_date/24-8-12/America/New_York/New schedule posted. Classic Concentration is temporarily gone for the week. Back to School week includes new episodes of Eubanks Card Sharks and the CBS Stanford Vs. UCLA week of Family Feud with Ray Combs from 1989. It is then repeated on the weekends. #2141 of To Tell the Truth with Garry Moore is skipped.

This view page source thing just doesn't work. I've tried it last time you said to and tried it again and no matter how many times I type: viewpagesource//and then the web address you reference it never works. I either get a web page showing the names and times in the day a show will be on (NO details as to the original dates of the shows, just name and time it's on). I don't know the magic formula you're using but it ain't working here.

This may help if using desktop when viewing the text schedule press CTRL and the letter U at the same time

I view the page on a Firefox browser using a laptop. I right-click anywhere on the page, and then select "View Page Source". That open up the details in a separate Tab. I have not tried in any other browsers
When I tried your method (adding "viewpagesource//" in front of the web address in the address bar), it did not work for me.

YES!! That was a great suggestion. But when using the URL for New York and replacing the date you want, then it didn't work. I just got a general listing of a lot of different websites you could choose from. The only way that NY URL worked was when I actually clicked on the URL Vahan shows bringing me directly to the NY site. Simply using the formula and filling in the date you want only brings me to the list of websites. BUT when I went to the MAIN Buzzr schedule page and then following your suggestion and right clicking on that Buzzr page the View Page Source selection then I got the information of that day's broadcasts. And the Control U suggestion also worked when I was at the actual main Buzzr Schedule page. The NY URL only worked when I click on it from Vahan's posting, it did not work when I entered in the NY URL myself, that just lead to a bunch of different websites that had nothing to do with that NY thing. The main Buzzr Schedule page and the Control U worked as did right clicking on the main Buzzr Schedule page. Thank you to both of you!

It really is not surprising that Press Your Luck would return pretty soon. I think the reason for PYL's absence on Buzzr for the better part of June and maybe July was due to the National Game Show Day stunt (which lasted about three weeks, if I recall), and then theme events such as "Christmas in July". I wonder if regular PYL episodes actually returned to Buzzr's schedule in late June or July?

Very disappointing news indeed. Thank you for the heads-up. I'm not sure how long is "temporarily", but with no weekend weekly reruns of the new Classic Concentration episodes for the last several batches (unlike what they had done before), I fear they might not be airing anything new until October earliest - by which time I would be really busy on weekdays (as I am starting a new job) and might therefore not have time to tape the new episodes. If I may be brutally frank here, a lot of the airtime they could have used for weekend reruns of the new batches of CC episodes have instead been given to "Local Programming", a lot of which are little more than just the same ads repeated over and over again ad infinitum (for the record, I have seen comments on Reddit about that annoying "If you're happy and you know it" advertisement which has literally cheesed a lot of viewers off). I think you're taking this a bit to seriously. Let's calm down a bit please. I did some research and I saw the following post on the Game Show Forum website, which I have screenshot and posted below: I dunno about y'all, but it very clearly says that Buzzr's intention is to remove Classic Concentration off the schedule completely and replace it with a lot more Match Game episodes. vahan johnnyo tpirlogo Care to explain this pls?

I don't think there is anything to worry about. Let's just wait and see what happens.
In fact, Classic Concentration seems to be very popular among xennials, and provided that it remains that way, I don't see any sign that it will be going away anytime soon.

In fact, Classic Concentration seems to be very popular among xennials, and provided that it remains that way, I don't see any sign that it will be going away anytime soon. Maybe as xennials ourselves, we may not see it that way, but to these network executives - showrunners, producers, etc., they honestly don't care about anything except the money. One thing that cuts the earnings of network executives is having to pay for copyright. As I understand it, a lot of the shows BUZZR are airing now are much older than CC, most of them dating back to the 1960s or 1970s, maybe 1980s latest (PYL). And I believe there is a cut-off date of sorts with regards to copyright of TV shows (correct me if I am wrong?). Be such shows ever so popular with our generation, the copyright laws do outweigh the demand by far - especially if the shows are being taped by fans like us and uploaded to YouTube at such a quick rate. Already, some of my most recent uploads of CC episodes to YouTube have been "blocked worldwide" due to this reason. One of them - episode 870 - was taken down due to a "copyright strike" from Fremantle Media, whom I believe still own the rights to CC to some extent. Apart from me, other fans have not uploaded any of the latest episodes beyond 961 if I remember right. And pardon my outlandish speculations once again, but I have a weird feeling that Fremantle may have been informed that some of their CC episodes have been uploaded to YouTube literally minutes after they aired on BUZZR, so they must have stepped up their game somehow and told BUZZR to stop airing the episodes. Anyone out there who works as a lawyer, would you think such a speculation is even remotely possible?

Classic Concentration is one of the most popular shows on Buzzr since it debuted. We have gotten a constant stream of fresh episodes, and it plays all the time. That it's not playing as much now, and there aren't as many fresh episodes recently, is rather meaningless in consideration of the entire six years it has been on the network. You can keep going on and on about it, but... all of what I just said remains true. Nearly every show on Buzzr is not fresh nearly every single week. Often shows get pulled for themed events. What is currently happening is not special or notable.
Back to what we should actually be talking about in this thread: tonight's unmarked Match Game episodes pick up with the second episodes of the first season of the SYN version.

You can keep going on and on about it, but... all of what I just said remains true. Nearly every show on Buzzr is not fresh nearly every single week. Often shows get pulled for themed events. What is currently happening is not special or notable. I am a huge Classic Concentration fan myself (IMO I think it should be a candidate for Most Family-Friendly TV Series Ever) and have been watching it since its 1991 episodes first aired in my country of origin in 1995. Of course being such, I am willing to keep going on and on about it because - for the love of me - I cannot comprehend why they would choose to, of all episodes, not air the latest ones. Them choosing to keep us fans in suspense is not being very much help to the situation. If you understand where I am coming from, it's like waiting for a hare to turn up, like betting on that extremely minute possibility that there will be gold at the end of the rainbow, if that makes sense. It's no point we keep waiting and waiting when nothing is definite from BUZZR's side - no definite dates, no definite episodes, no definite nothing. My point is very simple: Don't raise others' hopes too high by saying things like "Let's keep our fingers crossed", "Let's just wait and see what happens" etc. when the evidence suggests otherwise. Just in case you weren't already aware: I have done some research over the past few days, and I have discovered that BUZZR has intended to discontinue airing Classic Concentration for good, as early as last month. As you can see in this user's post on a different forum: What they are saying is very clear: BUZZR intends to remove Classic Concentration from their schedule "completely" - i.e. for good, forever, entirely, permanently. And this post came from late June. So obviously this user knew in advance that July 2024 would be the last time we would be seeing any (yet unaired on BUZZR) episodes of Classic Concentration, after which, it would be a permanent goodbye to our favorite TV show, its subsequent successor on BUZZR being more Match Game episodes. For the record, I don't have an account on that other forum from where the screenshot was taken (it's from Game Show Forum), and I have never interacted with that user before, including online, to the best of my recollection. I cannot see how such a clear statement, made by a user that is a complete stranger to me, on a forum that I have never used, could be interpreted any other way, and am therefore unable to conclude otherwise. So for all of us who have been so patient (like I myself have), I do apologize profusely, but until and unless any clear evidence surfaces that suggests otherwise, we will have to assume that CC is indeed off the air for good.
