I do think that since Mark Deetjen passed away, there's been less of a desire or effort to add fresh content and really cater the classic game show fanbase. I doubt it's a matter of more episodes not being available. But all things considered, at least they still air a lot of great shows that aren't seen elsewhere, and are still providing at least some fresh episodes here and there. And it's good to know that the Light Fight experiment flopped, so it's less likely that we'll see them add more reality content anytime soon.

Anything new for December 2-8? The only thing I did notice is that Temptation wraps up on 7th-8th with #165-#170.

Anything new for December 2-8? The only thing I did notice is that Temptation wraps up on 7th-8th with #165-#170. Yes. For December 2nd onward I can see that The Great Xmas Light Fight is now in the afternoon, and CC has wrapped back to 1987 once again. The week of Monday Nov 25th to Friday Nov 29th is the shortest ever run (1 week's worth) of new episodes they have done to date. 
Such an unfortunate coincidence that I will be busy between tomorrow and Wednesday as I have to work overtime (12 hours/day for all five days!) and I am not sure if I'll be too tired to tape the episodes at 3am (UK time)  I dunno if anyone is gonna be taping them as well, if you are also taping CC episodes, pls let me know. |

Oh and more bad news. On the BUZZR schedule for Tuesday November 26th, as you can see here, there's a bit of a conflict. At 10pm, 10:30pm, 11pm, and 11:30pm, CC seems to share each of those slots with "Password Plus 80" and "Password 67". This is very confusing because it's like asking one channel to air two shows simultaneously at the same time - how are they gonna do that? Surely that is virtually impossible?? |

There's a marathon of Great Christmas Light Fight on December 3, but it's otherwise not on the schedule for the upcoming two weeks. And I already explained the doubled up listings above. Instead of deleting the old schedule, they just put the new schedule in alongside it. So on every doubled up listing, ignore the top show listed and only go by the bottom one. |

The top shows listed are all Classic Concentration, the bottom are all Password... so are you saying that the new Classic Concentration episodes will therefore NOT be airing this coming whole week, and instead Password will be airing? For the entire week? |

Looks like fresh Classic Concentration is going on ice for a little bit. Don't tell peaceloveandscooters! ;-) So my fears were indeed confirmed... well, I guess that gives me time to rest for the night over this busy busy week leading up to Thanksgiving.
Sigh, I hope Classic Concentration better come back mid-December... I will be a bit more free to tape around that time.  |

The last three fresh episodes of this batch of Eubanks Card Sharks we were supposed to get this week have also been delayed it seems. |

It's been said four posts up that Super Password is still going. Super Password continues fresh in the 10:30 AM - 12 Noon slot with episodes 667-9 on Monday Dec. 2., and 671-674/676-980 on Wed-Fri Dec 4-6, skipping 670 & 675. (On Tuesday December 3, SP is pre-empted in favor of TGCLF.) By my count, this makes 69 fresh in this batch, a high number for SP, as it is the most in one batch since I began tracking fresh SP in fall 2018.
For Classic Concentration in the 7-9 PM slot, it looks like they started with episode 1 on Nov. 18 (aka, the post-TGCLF era). With 4 episodes per weekday, it runs through episode 46 at 7PM on Dec. 3 (skipping 13 as expected), and then gets a little weird. The rest of Dec. 3 is 118/152/153. Dec 4 is 154-5 & 160-161 before ending the week with 8 consecutive episodes on Dec. 5 & 6, beginning with 165 on Dec. 5. Bottom line is that we are not getting the fresh CC yet.
The initial schedule for Nov. 25 that had simultaneous fresh SP & CC was a bit of an outlier, IMHO. In the revised schedule, BUZZR seems to be reverting to form. Prior patterns suggest that we will see fresh CC 1-3 weeks after the current batch of fresh SP ends.

That's a high number for a batch of any show unless it's one that's just been added to the schedule.

When Classic Concentration comes back, I hope it comes back at a more convenient timing. 10pm NYC time is 3am UK time - and that is WAY too late for me.
Also, has anyone had the intermittent issue of BUZZR showing this "The media could not be loaded..." error message?
