By 1990, NBC’s daytime schedule wasn’t being followed by all stations. There was a big change in January when a WNBC bumped CC and Scrabble to the 3PM hour, among many other changes. Odd to that after the network cancelled Scrabble a few months later, WNBC kept Scrabble reruns on until September, when CC moved back to mornings.
I know now for a time KNBC in Los Angeles aired CC in the middle of the night.

Scrabble and CC aired in late nights in LA in early 1990, I believe it was done to accommodate a short-lived syndicated show called House Party with Steve Doocy, a remake of the old Art Linkletter talk show. House Party aired on KYW in Philly also, so it was not just a local show.

The NBC sanctioned time slot for CC for its original run was always 10:30AM EST. Other stations aired it at different times, notably later in the run.

With fresh Classic Concentration from BUZZR on the horizon, it's time to share some data. Specifically, here is a full report on known repeated opening rebuses through episode 378. For the record "known" equals shown on BUZZR, or found on YT.
- Every episode beginning with # 220 and beyond has (so far) used an opening rebus that had been used for the opening of a prior episode.
- The rebus that was used to open episode #50 was used to open episode # 220; the rebus from # 51 was used on #221, etc., generally speaking. However this pattern was not strictly followed.
- The first derivation from this pattern is that the rebus that was used to open episode #225 had been previously used to open episode # 28. The is the only rebus from the first 49 episodes known to have been repeated as an opening rebus (although some of these opening rebuses have been repeated in game play).
- Otherwise, the pattern thaat began on episode 220 continued through episode 288. However, when BUZZR skipped episodes 289-294, if the pattern had exactly continued, the opening rebus on episode 295 would have been from episode 125. Instead the opening rebus on episode 295 is from episode 126, so it seems likely that episodes 289-294 used six of the seven opening rebuses from episodes 119-125, but it is impossible to know which specific rebus was skipped, or which rebus was used to open a particular episode.
- For episodes 296 through 320, the pattern that began on episode 295 holds. This allows us to reasonably assume that even though episodes 297 & 298 were skipped by BUZZR, they almost certainly used the opening rebuses from episodes 128 & 129.
- Episodes 321-338 do not follow a single consistent pattern. Out of these 18 episodes, 9 (325-333) were skipped. The known repeats are: 321 used 174; 322 used 157; 323 used 158; 324 used 160; 334/335/336 used 171/172/173; 337 used 175; and 338 used 55. For the nine skipped episodes, it seems likely that episodes 325-333 used nine of the ten opening rebuses from episodes 161-170, but it is impossible to know which specific rebus was skipped, or which rebus was used to open a particular episode.
- The 34 remaining episodes aired by BUZZR to date (339-368, 375-378) all used rebuses that had been previously used twice as an opening rebus. Episode 339 used 220 (which was already a repeat), and this continued through episode 368, which used 249. The only exceptions to this exact pattern are between episode 344-353, when 344 jumped ahead to use 226 (the pattern predicted 225). The pattern was restored after 353 jumped back to 225, and 354 used 235.

Time to share some more data on repeated rebuses. Specifically, through episode 378, here is a full report on known instances of rebuses used in actual game play that had appeared previously, either as an opening rebus, or in a prior game. For the record "known" equals shown on BUZZR, or found on YT.
Episode #/ Repeated use/ First Appearance
315 / Tie breaker in "2-out-of-3" format/ Episode # 77, Game 2 321 / Tie breaker in "2-out-of-3" format/ Episode # 83, Game 1 322 / Tie breaker in "2-out-of-3" format/ Episode # 5, Opening Rebus 323 / Tie breaker in "2-out-of-3" format/ Episode # 20, Opening Rebus 335 / Tie breaker in "2-out-of-3" format/ Episode # 7, Opening Rebus 368 / Tie breaker in "2-out-of-3" format/ Episode # 30, Opening Rebus

Funny how you mentioned the last bit because I am exactly at episode #339 right now and have less than three weeks to get through to the end before the next batch appears. I don't know how you comprise your logic, data, facts, etc but Bravo!

I don't know how you comprise your logic, data, facts, etc but Bravo! And I thought I was taking a long time to complete that batch when I finished it in July! Gathering the data is the easy part. It might take me 40-45 minutes to watch an episode, but when it is over I can tell you virtually every detail. It's organizing and analyzing the data that takes time. I have a new laptop with MS Access, and I am dreaming about loading all of raw CC data into it so I can pull out some real gems. Like which squares most often have a wild card, or match the featured prize, or which square in the bonus game is most likely to be the car that can't be matched. I have been doing it all so far on a huge spreadsheet, but I feel a true database will be better suited for data mining in the long term.

not sure if this is the right place to ask this. Or this requires a new thread. Did a contestant ever win 2 cars on Narz concentration

No two car winners, and no episodes with two cars won, on any of the episodes Buzzr has shown so far.

Did a contestant ever win 2 cars on Narz concentration I seem to remember Jack saying in one of the recent batch that they did give away two cars on at least one show. However, I don't remember if he said it was to different contestants or the same contestant.

Seems as though when the car was won in the first bonus round, on the episodes Buzzr has aired so far, the second Double Play round has a bit more difficult rebuses to minimize the chances of two cars won in one show.

I was wondering if that happened to, I thought I remembered seeing one of the episodes that they have aired having each person win a car.

I am now on the last episode of the previous batch of CC #378 and have my DVR already set up for tomorrow resuming with episode #379. It took me a long while to catch up (see my previous post at that time) but I'm finally on the spot!
