I remember and I agree @oldtimetvfanthe series count always varies on different sites. I also read somewhere USA never aired the final episode however they did. I was only 2 when the show was cancelled in '86. I was introduced to the show from the reruns on USA. I recall the whammy trap episode then USA looping back to previous neon episodes. It's unfortunate my VHS collection from the 90's got damaged. vahan oh yeah, I disregarded the marathon airings. However, FINALLY Buzzr is near the 700's. I believe Buzzr will comeback with the rest of PYL, CC, FF (Dawson then Combs) MG '80-'82 and dare I say Blockbusters. I mean if they can keep going with Temptation, why not...

lmcjr Match Game is another show I still can hardly believe they got the finale wrong. EVERYBODY knows it continued for another season after that episode that they claimed as the finale when it wasn't. Especially since they DID actually show an episode from the last season for National Wig Day not too long before that.

That marathon last year (2023?) was firsts and lasts correct? It may of been as in the case of Syndie MG that they aired a season finale instead of the actual series finale from 1982. The 2nd season finale would count as a sort of last (even though not the actual last episode like I mentioned, but the last ep of that season). With PYL, I think they wanted to air an ordinary episode (#697) due to the monster $25k+ loss in PYL's last episode (#755) which would make #755 an extraordinary episode.

I seem to remember reading somewhere (I think on one of the other GS boards) that when USA first aired the 1986 episodes back in 1989, they went beyond the 7/25/86 episode (#737). I actually remember back then (1989, I was much younger back then) that I think USA aired Wemkea Sherman's episodes back then. However, from what I read, they only went past 7/25/86 (#737) during that time they first ran the 1989 episodes. When they aired the 1986 episodes later on (in the early to mid 90's) they stopped at 7/25/86 and went back to earlier episodes. Of course when USA last aired the 1986 episodes was back when they removed Game Shows for USA Live. The last episode USA aired was 5/22/86 (#691). They didn't make it past #691 of course.

oldtimetvfan Maybe you can help fill in some blanks in the 1986 section of the guide? Also lmcjr and oldtimetvfan, I think it was stated years ago that some content in Fremantle's library is only saved in their original 1960s-1980s formats. I wouldn't be surprised if this includes the 700's of PYL.

Speaking of formats, could it be that none of the last season of Match Game has been transferred to a digital server? It could be that they are still on digibeta. GSN ran the 1979-1980 Season in 2014-2016, but not the other two. It could be that Buzzr is only now working their way through transferring 1980-1981 and 1981-1982 to a digital server.

Thanks. I can't see past 10/9 for some reason on 'New York' schedule, still totally blank for me. You must use another method. Anxious to see if 4AM TRUTH turns to fresh around 11/4 or just resets somewhere. Can't believe they're running 90's TRUTH yet again, leave it on the shelf for a few months, ugh. Just happy BLOCKBUSTERS is back and scheduled to run some older ones I haven't seen [in ages].

Been waiting for Dawson and Combs to return but it feels hopeless. Dawson has been off the weekday schedule for over 4 months now. Doesn't make sense because Buzzr posted two Facebook clips last week of Combs Feud but continues to keep it off the air I remember and I agree @oldtimetvfanthe series count always varies on different sites. I also read somewhere USA never aired the final episode however they did. I was only 2 when the show was cancelled in '86. I was introduced to the show from the reruns on USA. I recall the whammy trap episode then USA looping back to previous neon episodes. It's unfortunate my VHS collection from the 90's got damaged. vahan oh yeah, I disregarded the marathon airings.

This still works fine for me: buzzrtv.com/schedule/schedule_by_date/24-10-10/America/New_YorkMake sure you're only using two digits for the year. If you use four digits, it shows up blank during certain months of the year.

Well, I feel like I just used a decoder ring to crack the secret message in the Cracker Jack box (Jean Shepherd Cheristmas Story movie reference). Yes it's confirmed, Buzzr is trying to make things as difficult as possible to figure out correct broadcast dates. OK, to save you all a 1/2 hour of your time here are the next few days of mixed up Price Is Right broadcast dates: Friday: 9/12-13/84 Sat: 11/30/84 & 12/3/84 Sun: 12/5-6/84 Mon: 9/14/84 & 9/17/84 Makes perfect sense right? Uh huh. I better print those dates up before I forget them and have to figure it all out again. Nothing strange about it. The weekends are airing at a different pace (4 episodes) than the weekdays (10). They've cycled through the rotation on the weekdays and went back to the beginning of the season.

Make sure you're only using two digits for the year. If you use four digits, it shows up blank during certain months of the year. This is exactly the issue, thank you very much. Please accept this consolation prize... Also, WHAT'S MY LINE? looks to be already resetting itself back to 157-1, their lowest of 'regular' airings in sequence, on 10/20, without ever really maxing out (186-2 being highest normal ep). Need more data to see if this is actually the case. Every episode has interesting stuff going on, great panel humor and a surprising array of mystery guests. I hope its catalog increases over time...

EDIT: Yes, these aired in late Feb 2024, when there was a block of missing schedules from 2/27 - 2/29 OK. So I've just seen that attachment^^ . Seems that we are gonna be getting some CC90 episodes on Sunday Oct 13th and 20th - but I'm not sure if these are gonna be the new releases or not, as the exact episode numbers don't seem to be stated. And on weekdays they only have the 1987 "beta" episodes dating from the very first. God willing in the weeks before Thanksgiving we'll have some new episodes from 1017 and 1023-1035 at the very least.

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. Sad news about 689. However, if Buzzr is using a different episode source than GSN used (as was discussed after this original post you made Vahan), it is possible that the episode skip may be for a upcoming marathon (we do have a few coming up, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Black Friday and New Year's, not counting the Christmas holiday since Buzzr showcases shows with Betty White during that time). As I stated in a previous post, we may see some of the skipped PYL episodes in the future (depending on their condition). It may be done similar to what Buzzr did in airing previous skipped late October/early November 1988 NBC SOTC episodes in the last year (the rest of Phil Cambury's run/Trick Or Treat Week and a few episodes afterwards) after the SOTC's Syndie run finished up being aired.
