I also agree that the 1989 revival of Now You See It will never be aired again despite that the host retired from the news in 2022 - otherwise it would have aired by now. That said, the lack of reruns may not be due to Chuck Henry refusing to clear his appearances in fear of jeopardizing his credibility as a top news reporter... Which reminds me - I remember reading a post on the long-defunct GSN boards that the reason for the lack of reruns of the 1989 revival of Now You See It was due to not enough episodes to air in syndication. U.S. broadcast laws require 85 episodes to qualify for off-network syndication, and that version of Now You See It fell short by ten episodes, thus not qualifying for off-network syndication. If the series had continued through the end of July 1989, then it probably would have qualified for syndicated reruns. Blockbusters with Bill Rafferty did end in May 1987, and it did barely make it to 85 episodes and thus qualified for off-network syndication (surprising that one hasn't aired on Buzzr yet). So I think, for Now You See It, this "refusing to clear his appearances to protect his credibility as a top news reporter" claim is just a myth. But then again, if celebrity clearance policy was indeed a factor, maybe that version of Now You See It could make it to Buzzr after Chuck Henry dies. I don't think there are any broadcast "laws" on how many episodes qualified a show for syndication, but networks/TV stations had their own standards. I always heard the number was 80. But they also broke their own rules when they wanted to. Bosom Buddies with Tom Hanks used to be shown in syndication and only had 37 episodes. The original Honeymooners only had 39 episodes. |

And another thing: Who was it on GSN Buzz who said something about there not being enough episodes for NYSI '89 to be rerun due to that number not being 85? TheKid965? (Who is now dead)

Forgive me if this has been addressed, but does anyone know why Match Game #993 is being skipped?

Today's premiere of Family Feud 83-088 has a major edit that I was anticipating. (It's a moment I remember from when I first saw it on Game Show Network 25 years ago.) It's Lost in Space vs. Hawaiian Eye. For the question "Name an evil you've never tried, but have considered trying," Poncie Ponce gives the insane (and enthusiastic) answer, "Raping women!" That was cut out of the show on Buzzr, along with Richard mocking him for such an awful answer.

Looks like it's from an original broadcast. |

I wonder if inflation is to blame for affecting the costs of digitizing episodes?

I wonder if inflation is to blame for affecting the costs of digitizing episodes? That and/or the age of certain tapes of episodes of their 70’s and 80’s game shows. Though they appear to be in good shape with the upgrades for digital TV standards, Buzzr has broadcast a few over the years that I’m surprised made the cut |

Wow. This is something. Have they finally acquired the current incarnation of The Price is Right? This is something they've promised since like the beginning. http://instagram.com/p/C6ouU9JtL3- |

Wow. This is something. Have they finally acquired the current incarnation of The Price is Right? This is something they've promised since like the beginning. http://instagram.com/p/C6ouU9JtL3- It could actually be anything. It could be Barker or Tom Kennedy or Doug Davidson or even Dennis James. I have a theory about the fur episodes that I will share at another time and place. I do however think that in the future we may finally see the fur "ban" be lifted, it's just a matter of when. Just remember that we never thought that what has aired on Pluto (among other streaming platforms) the last 3+ years would never happen and in December 2020 we got to see 80's TPIR again. That is why I have hope that we will see the fur embargo lifted in the future. Again, I will share my fur theory later. |

For whatever reason, the live stream's not working on Google Chrome, and on Firefox and Edge, it is windowboxed. Because of this, Jennings had to switch handbrake. I have no idea if Buzzr is ever gonna fix this.
