Both the Richard Dawson and Ray Combs Syndicated Feuds (the latter applies to 1988-1992) are distinguished by three commercial breaks instead of four, and $10,000 up for grabs instead of $5,000. In 1992, the Syndicated Combs Feud became The New Family Feud, and was half-hour instead of the hour-long Family Feud Challenge. Also, on Combs Syndicated Feud, at least on the original broadcasts, each episode ended with an LBS logo (later an All-American Television logo).
Ray Combs syndicated Feud had four commercial breaks throughout its run, with Dawson syndicated 1977-85 Feud having three commercial breaks.

Actually, the Combs nighttime run still had 4 commercial breaks and had returning champion families and even had the Tournament of Champions. The original nighttime Feud had episodes "bicycled" just like in Louie Anderson's entire tenure. If we're talking about Family Feud Challenge, the returning champion families weren't seen on the same side after each episode as they watched through the first half(same goes for Family Feud '94).

Bicycling in syndication meant that not all cities saw the same episode each day. That practice was stopped on game shows by the mid 80s because of Satellite distribution, of which, as per a post on alt.tv.game-shows, Entertainment Tonight was the first show to use in 1981. THe episodes probably did air out of taping order for Louie Feud, but every station saw the same episode(s) each day

Next week starts a whole new block of shows in the evenings (P+, SOTC85, LMAD85, TT74, CS86, and PYL84), along with what looks like a continuation of MG75 in the 4:00PM hour. When I say "new", I don't necessarily mean new episodes, just a new schedule. Super Password is also back in the 6:00AM hour, and Now You See It returns on Sunday nights on 2/12.

It appears that Super Password is from later in March 1985. Could this be a fresh batch of episodes?
Combs' Feud is apparently from 1988. I am thinking it might be the syndicated premiere?
Syndicated $ale of the Century appears to be from February 18, 1985. Did Buzzr ever air it before?
Press Your Luck remains status quo for now, and I would assume Let's Make a Deal is still from the same batch airing since June, based on the Big Deal amount of $8,000+, which implies it's one of the earlier episodes in Buzzr's rotation.
It is confirmed that Password Plus starts from the premiere.

They are starting next week with March 8, so in a week or so, we'll know whether they continue on with fresh episodes or start over at the beginning again.

Now I'm not sure which episodes of Super Password will air this week. There were two episodes that aired on Saturday night labeled as 3/20/85 and 3/2/85, but they were actually from week 7, 11/7/84 and 11/8/84. Those same two episodes labeled 3/20/85 and 3/2/85 are scheduled to air again on Friday.

So far, it just appears that the labels on the Saturday airings were off. Today's SP listings, 3/8/85 and 3/11/85, were accurate.
Buzzr still does not list any schedule information beyond this Sunday/early Monday. Normally they go at least 2-3 weeks out.

Don't know all the details of the Buzzr schedule, though their site now seems to have a full listing for the upcoming week. Anyhoo, my favorite weekday hour is getting to be 3:00 PM (4:00 PM Eastern). I can switch back and forth between Match Game on Buzzr and The Chase on GSN. The #1 and #5 shows on my top fifty list. I'm a happy camper.

Found out on Facebook that the first regular Buzzr broadcast of Combs' Feud is the CBS Premiere from July 4, 1988, with the Drosdowski vs. Holtrust families.

Saw the Password Plus premiere. Wow. Loved seeing the end credits in full, after 8 years of it being censored by GSN.

Next week's Buzzr schedule is out...as I suspected, Super Password stops at 3/26/85, re-airs the July 4 and Sept 23 episodes, and then reverts back to January.

I kept missing out on getting the first 2 or 3 weeks of P+ complete from GSN when they aired it and now I guess it all works out in my favor with Buzzr. I'm glad to see some fresh material from them. Allen had such an excitement for this show and it's clear here on this first week of episodes.

Happened to catch Password Plus on Buzzr last night, and it was a little funny to see Allen Ludden lumbering through an explanation of the new rules. A while ago GSN ran 25K Pyramid from its 1982 start, and Dick Clark would plod through the same kind of explanations.
