There's a problem now with the method of showing the schedule show info of original dates. Now when you do the formula: go to the main Buzzr Schedule page and either right click on it and choose the View Page Source choice OR go to Buzzr Schedule main page and press the Control and the letter U at the same time It never worked that way. Go to buzzrtv.com/schedule/schedule_by_date/24-9-24/America/New_York and view the source of that page. Change the numbers in the URL to see other dates.

On 10/7 - really 10/8, Blockbuster flips back to show 100. Not fresh, but these episodes haven't played on Buzzr in years.

lmcjr Were there tracking issues in GSN's airing of #662, too? I hope you have that version to compare it. Apparently, #689 is skipped due to a video glitch during Round 2. Finally, even if October 14 is the last day of this batch, I've been told not to be let down and disappointed, because it is only the end of that batch. It doesn't necessarily mean that's all the episodes that exist or can be aired without tape damage.

For the record, the regular airings of Color What's My Line on Buzzr went up to #186-2 from 1973, and don't tell me they're resetting to #157-1 afterwards. Seems like Buzzr likes to reset to airing episodes that had been on Buzzr BEFORE it joined the Sling channel lineup or any episodes that Game Show Channel has missed capturing years ago due to file corruption or power outage.

It doesn't necessarily mean that's all the episodes that exist or can be aired without tape damage. vahan I compared the two and GSN copy was fine. I'm sure we all can agree, despite any video or audio glitch we still want to see episode of every show on Buzzr. Can whomever you're talking to confirm why are they skipping 665-667? I think it's safe to assume the skips of #676-678 was due to the contestant issue. GSN skipped them and I recall USA skipping them in one rotation then airing them in the next. GSN airing of #689 doesn't have a glitch. Let's blame them for damaging the master copy j/k I have strange feeling they may loop back to the beginning, similar to how they did MG, CC and SP. However, if they don't FINALLY after 30 years the 700's!!! We shall see next week...

lmcjr Is Buzzr using different copies of some episodes? There was tape damage at the very end of Round 2 in #644 in GSN's copy, but none of that in Buzzr's copy.

BLOCKBUSTERS tops out at #0312 on SAT 10/5/24 2AM It then resets to #0100 on TUES 10/8/24 2AM Sounds like no new episodes of Blockbusters were converted yet by Buzzr. It has 60 episodes to go from 1982 plus going back to the first 99 from October 1980-March 1981 (episodes 20-22 may be deemed not airable) On such a [tragically] short run show, you'd think they'd just work from the beginning and on through. Same with Double Dare, etc. They like to cut right to the cream of each series, where things really hit their stride. Yet, BB started strong right from the first episode. You can also tell we're getting into '82 when he starts pulling out the home edition board game...
I get the impression "smarter" shows = lower viewership / less overall attention.

snowpeck For sure. The intro and credits of Buzzr's Halloween copy is totally different. GSN's copy is the keeper. I can't remember USA's. vahan Yup, Buzzr is clearly putting in the labor to digitize the episodes. I guess it's not possible to retrieve the files/copies from another network. This is why we shouldn't give up yet, on Buzzr not going pass 697.

Seems like Buzzr likes to reset to airing episodes that had been on Buzzr BEFORE it joined the Sling channel lineup or any episodes that Game Show Channel has missed capturing years ago due to file corruption or power outage. #186-2 is the last one I have, and it's a rare one where they play the entire WALK-ON and Introductions. The lowest number I have is #157-2 (Pick n Play SUMMR) and a total of 80 for the "regular run." Probably missing some, not sure, they definitely skipped a bunch along the way (wonder why). The "highest" BUZZR airings (events/special) I have are 219-2, 251-4 & 264-3 ('74-75 Yellow/Red & Blue set - SEASON 7). I believe the final episode is 264-5, so 264-3 may have been shown as "the last [salvageable] episode." IN CURRENT SCHEDULE, after some more "random" episodes, things appear to settle and go sequentially from #174-2 starting on 10/4/24. My copy of 174-1 sucks and needs replacing, so this is annoying. Oh well. Weekend airings will start at #182-2 on 9/29/24. The good news is we only have to wait five weeks or so til we see if FRESH is added to the end. Not getting hopes up.

Thanks Snowpeck & JohnnyO. I just must have bad luck with these methods. I used to use the New York and then change the date, it worked for a bit of time. Then one day it didn't work anymore. Then I came back here and someone else gave me the Schedule and View Page Source method & that DID work each time I tried it UNTIL yesterday. That's when I got a page of nonsense. Today I followed the New York method again as prescribed and at first all I got was a listing of possible hits you could make but one of the choices did say New York, I chose that one and then went there and from there I hit View Page source and it worked again (though previous tries it didn't work). At any rate it worked today, tomorrow may be another story. I have to say both of these methods did work in the past. Now back to the New York method again, worked today at least.

OK, I figured it out. Buzzr is trying to drive us crazy with it's unexplainable scheduling. I just noticed that today (9/25/24) was the last of the "new" Price Is Rights. The 4 pm show was 5/29/85. But instead of continuing to show "new" shows tomorrow until the "new" shows run out which would have been the June 14, 1985 show they stopped today at May 29, 1985!! Going all in a row till today! What the? I would think one of these days they'll pick back up with new ones starting at the 5/30/85 show. I would hope. Man this is confusing.

I've never figured out Buzzr's logic with the bizarre scheduling. Sounds similar to what they did with Family Feud '85 in 2019. They were airing every episode in order each night then got to the final 2 months of Dawson's run and randomly started 1980-81 and ran those into the ground for a couple years
