That was for a special event last month. It doesn't prove anything. Yes, you are right, the reason why they aired the two hours on July 11th and July 12th was for an "Xmas in July" special event on BUZZR. And those weren't even episodes that have not been aired yet (they were most likely Xmas-themed episodes, possibly from 1988 or 1989). The emphasis should be on the words: "... and Classic Concentration will be off the schedule completely" (note the highlighted words in bold). As far as I can understand, "completely" = forever, entirely, permanently, for good. What they were trying to say was that BUZZR would air a few of those episodes for their "Xmas in July" event, and then after that, they would no longer air any more new Classic Concentration episodes. Unless you have a better definition of the words "off the schedule completely"?

There hasn't been any announcement whatsoever. It is too popular to be gone for good.

So it's possible therefore that "Blanquepage" was trying to scare us with that post, alleging that BUZZR intended to remove CC "off the schedule completely"? And if that was just a post to scare us, then what evidence do we have on hand at the moment that BUZZR will be bringing back the next batch of fresh CC episodes soon?

"Completely" just meant it wasn't going to be on in any time slot for that week. It didn't mean permanent or forever.

They could have just said that BUZZR would not be airing CC for that week, that would have not given the wrong idea to us! So yepp. Apart from checking whatever upcoming schedules BUZZR has (I think they currently have announced up to Aug 19th from what I can see), surely there must be some way to find out when BUZZR will release the next batch of Classic Concentration episodes, if they intend to?

When you get in contact with them, ask them when Blockbusters and Whew! are coming back.

Let's take a deep breath. Classic Concentration will be back soon. Let's try and not spread or start wacky conspiracy theories about Classic Concentration. Buzzr sometimes goes into dry periods with the fresh episodes. It will come back at some point peaceandlovescooters.

This is a list of the more popular shows that have aired on BUZZR over the years, counting all airings, new and repeats. The numbers are pretty much in line with the current and historical popularity of these shows. Actually I'm surprised Classic Concentration has this many airings as I would consider shows like Card Sharks and PYL to be more popular. Match Game and Family Feud are two of the most popular game shows of all time, and the airings reflect that.
Blockbusters and Now You See It are equally "family friendly" as Concentration, BTW.
Blockbusters 2,100+ Body Language 1,800+ Card Sharks 7,400+ Classic Concentration 10,300+ Family Feud 15,300+ I've Got A Secret 2,600+ Let's Make A Deal 3,900+ Match Game 32,600+ Now You See It 900+ Password 1,700+ Password Plus 6,500+ Super Password 6,800+ Press Your Luck 6,100+ Sale of the Century 3,400+ Supermarket Sweep 6,200+ Tattletales 5,700+ The Newlywed Game 3,200+ To Tell The Truth 5,000+ What's My Line? 4,000+ Whew! 390+

When you get in contact with them, ask them when Blockbusters and Whew! are coming back. Yes. I have just seen a recent post on BUZZR's instagram showing a clip of a rebus from one of their Classic Concentration episodes from January 1991 (this is the post: www.instagram.com/buzzrtv/reel/C-I11OpNTYS/ ). I'm not sure if this is an omen that they're bringing the new episodes back soon, but - yeah. vahan is right. Gotta wait for what's gonna happen on their side...

Thanks for the heads-up dare2be . I've read the attachment and I can see that Classic Concentration is airing up to episode 897 (Thanksgiving Day 1990), after which it's not on the air all the way until August 19th at least. Do you know when BUZZR releases their schedule updates?

WOW! dare2be, that info is amazing. The fact that these shows don't even have that many episodes however, have been re-aired that many times is crazy. Is it safe to say MG, FF & CC are Buzzr's Top 3 favs? All we can do is hope before the channels 10 year birthday they will bring back some shows to the lineup and air the remainder of some shows episodes. (coughs Press Your Luck lol). Until next time...

Is Match Game "new", as far as I knew no "new" Match Games have been on for a week or 2. Yet I see postings of people talking about new Match Games on now? I miss the old reliable New this week listings for Buzzr we used to read here.
