User:Daniel Benfield/Buzzr Broadcasts

For those who might be unaware (since it's not available everywhere as of this writing), Buzzr is an over-the-air digital subchannel network devoted to airing classic game shows from the Fremantle archives, ranging from the 1950s-80s with the occasional tread into the early '90s. Unlike a certain cable network owned by Sony, Buzzr airs the shows intact – there's no crunching of the fee plugs and credits on this network (and no sped-up stuff, either), and if it's a black-and-white show from the 1950s-60s the original commercials tend to get aired as well. Like that other network, Buzzr would show the Ticket/Contestant Plugs as well during the show (if they or the fee plugs were their own segment mid-show, they almost never get aired, probably to make things a bit easier), though they appear to have stopped doing that by the end of 2015.

I kinda decided to create this page on a whim, seeing a plethora of Buzzr-aired shows being uploaded, and as such this is pretty much a hodgepodge of stuff. Shows/franchises are arranged alphabetically; "Buzzr promos!" denote videos that have the network promos, while "Buzzr commercials" are those that have all the ads including said promos.

This page will mostly consist of full or near-full episodes; promos and clips won't really be here unless I decide otherwise, although there will probably be minor spoilers for consecutive or near-consecutive episodes.

LEGAL STUFF SO I DON'T GET SUED: I'm only linking to these videos, none of which were uploaded by me, for the purposes of research and as a public record. Footage ©1950-2017 Goodson-Todman Productions/Hatos-Hall Productions/Carruthers Company/FremantleMedia and associated entities.

AND ANOTHER THING: Buzzr sometimes airs E/I-fulfilling content (Stanley on the Go, Dog Tales, Animal Rescue, Animal Outtakes, Wild Wonders, and Walking Wild) on weekends, and for the first month or so after launch also showed a "Monster Buzz" block (Monster Garage and Monster House) on weekends. As this is a Wiki devoted to game shows and the aforementioned programs really aren't, they won't be here.

ALSO OF NOTE: Per this Facebook post by BuzzrPlus+, Fremantle/Buzzr provides two hours of "bonus" content weekly to affiliates to air on another subchannel in their frequency, including Bill Rafferty's Card Sharks (1986-87 syndicated) and Louie Anderson's Family Feud (1999-2002); for instance, KCDO in Colorado airs the shows on their primary channel on Saturdays at 4:00 PM. While neither of these actually air on Buzzr itself as of this writing, any footage will be included with their respective shows.

AS FOR THE BIG OMISSION: Yes, it's been noted quite a few times that The Price is Right has never appeared on Buzzr, leading to the network having to air a Bob Barker-hosted Tattletales show to represent him in their March 2016 "Buzzr Brackets" programming. By all indication, the main blockade is CBS, though Barker may also be an issue given his issues with certain models and staff members (not to mention the whole "fur coat" thing).

Shows Seen Only As Clips
Not every program Buzzr has shown clips of has led to them airing full episodes of said show.


 * Split Personality (1959-60) - a brief clip, possibly of the 1959 pilot, appeared in promos for Buzzr's "Celebrating 75 Years of the TV Game Show" events in 2016.
 * Take Your Choice (1954 unsold pilot) - a brief clip, showing host Fred Allen and two contestants, appeared in promos for Buzzr's "Lost and Found" week in 2015.
 * Trivia Trap (1984-85) - clips were used in promos for Buzzr's "Pick & Play" sweepstakes in October 2015, as it was one of the shows up for voting.
 * Wordplay (1986-87) - clips were used in "Pick & Play" promos, as it was one of the shows up for voting.

"Buzz 'Til Dawn" promos have also shown a clip of Dennis James saying "Why don'tcha kinda relax, settle back, and enjoy yourself." The fact he has a cigarette in his hand indicates it's from one of his Old Gold pitches, which he did on Judge For Yourself (1953-54) and Two for the Money (1952-55). As far as I know, Dennis has never appeared on Buzzr otherwise.

On a side note, speaking of "Celebrating 75 Years of the TV Game Show", one of the contests mentioned through that was a "We Lost It, You Found It" sweepstakes, though as far as I know it never got off the ground. Still, the only thing that comes to mind with a title like that is something akin to the "Missing Episodes" movement among British television, where anyone who has footage of something that's officially considered "missing" is encouraged to get in contact with (for instance) the BBC.

Unsold Pilots
Aired by Buzzr during their "Lost and Found" week in September 2015.

Beat the Clock (1979-80)
Buzzr first aired two episodes as part of their "Lost and Found" week in September 2015, including Pilot #1. The series found its way onto the regular schedule thanks to the network's "Pick & Play" Sweepstakes a month later.

Big thanks to the episode guide at the Mark Goodson Wiki for some of the below placement.

Civilian format (through 11/2/79)

 * [Bonus Stunt: Toss four beanbags onto a table.]

Blockbusters (1980-82)
Big thanks to Game Show Warehouse for much of the below placement. Unfortunately, since my usual practice of "list all player names when available" would reveal who won each match (given the show's format), those won't be here.

The aforementioned Game Show Warehouse has that info and a lot more, so it's definitely worth a look. :)

Standard gameplay format (debuted 11/24/80)
 * March 19, 1981 (#100!: Begins with Bob vs. Jeff & Alan {$31,500!}, continued from yesterday during Game 2)

Body Language (1984-86)
Buzzr has also aired the July 4, 1985 show as part of its Independence Day programming in July 2015.

At some point or another, there was a full week-by-week celebrity list online, possibly on an old version of Adam Nedeff's website. Wish I could find that again... Still, a huge thanks to Jason Cranmer for much of the below placement.


 * Taped 10/9/83 (Pilot #2: Jenilee Harrison & Jon Bauman; ANNE-MARIE JOHNSON vs. Sam; Buzzr promos!)
 * [Has a worse scoring system, and the bonus game doesn't even involve charades!]

Six-win/two-loss format (debuted 9/84); winnings limit upped to $50,000 (began 11/84)
 * January 22, 1985 (Marcia Wallace & Fred Travalena {taped 1984}; Sam {$250 + 1 Loss} vs. Beverly {$18,850! + 1 Loss}; Buzzr promos and a Ticket Plug! {alternate copy, no promos})

 * February 8, 1985 (Betty White & Jamie Farr; Dorothy vs. Bob)
 * [Tom specifically says it's Friday.]

 * [Tom makes mention of "tomorrow", but none of Valentine's Day.]


 * February 18, 1985 (Mindy Cohn & Ted Lange; Brian {$10,950 + 1 Loss} vs. Samie {No Losses}; Buzzr promos!)

 * March 25, 1985 (Martha Smith & Ed Begley Jr.; Diana vs. Bob, with a couple of things that didn't happen too often)
 * [Tom specifically says the airdate, then says "1985 just debuted about...day before yesterday, and we're almost through the month of March-but it just goes to show you time flies when you're having fun on Body Language."]


 * April 2, 1985 (Vicki Lawrence & Charles Nelson Reilly; Faith {$15,550 + 1 Loss} vs. Michael {$0 + No Losses}, with several notable events)
 * [Tom says that Vicki "is the lady who helped launch this show when we did a pilot of this show a year-and-a-half ago-it was you who got this on the air". I have to think the latter part of his comment refers to the premiere week, since Vicki wasn't on the pilots.]


 * April 15, 1985 (Jo Anne Worley & Anson Williams; Donna {$1,650 + 1 Loss} vs. Walker {No Losses}, with something that didn't happen often)
 * April 16, 1985 (Jo Anne Worley & Anson Williams; Donna vs. Walker)

Card Sharks (1978-81/1986-89)
Originally, Buzzr aired NBC shows from 1978, although they showed the July 4, 1980 episode as part of their Independence Day programming in July 2015 (and shown again on July 4, 2016). The Eubanks airings began with an '86 episode as part of the network's "Buzzr Brackets" programming in March 2016 before replacing the NBC shows on April 25, though the latter eventually returned when Buzzr Casino moved to Saturday nights. Also, as mentioned at the top of the page, the Rafferty version is included as "bonus content" for various stations.

Update: Starting February 6, 2017, the Eubanks shows are now part of Buzzr's "Prime Time Party", airing weeknights.

Big thanks to Jason Cranmer and (to a lesser extent) Game Show Warehouse for much of the below NBC-era placement.

For the CBS run, there's several sources for info: an episode guide (both here and at the Mark Goodson Wiki), a timeline, and Nicholas Mooneyhan's partial guide.

 * [Based on the wording of said plug, it seems the survey question would've asked how many would admit to dating a married man.]

Bob Hilton fills in Gene returns; Chester Feldman and Jonathan Goodson are now credited as "Executive Producers" (instead of merely "Producers") from this point on
 * March 21, 1986 (#55: Marilyn {$2,900} vs. Pete {$100}, continuing from yesterday at the start of Game 2, with Faith playing later)

Big thanks to Jason Cranmer for much of the below placement.

"Triple Play" bonus round, original board
 * Taped 5/11/82 (Pilot #2: Glenn {Champ} vs. Dautie; Buzzr promos!)
 * [Has a pretty different format, a slightly different set, and Goodson-Todman is credited (probably the last new show to do that, though Price kept it into 1984). Matches the pictures on Adam Nedeff's page for the pilots, which includes the slate for "P-#2".]

"Triple Play" bonus round, second board (debuted 10/11 or 12/82)

Buzzr first aired two episodes as part of their "Lost and Found" week in September 2015. The series found its way onto the regular schedule thanks to the network's "Pick & Play" Sweepstakes a month later.

Johnny Olson announces (through 1/14/77)
 * Taped 11/76 (Pilot #1: AMY ALBANI {Game 2 - $500} vs. Rowland, with Mike playing later; Buzzr promos! {alternate copy})
 * [Some audiovisual differences, but the main thing is that the Spoilers round has ten clues, with five Passes and five Gives. Alex notes that Amy has "won a match", which suggests that she bombed in her first Spoilers round.]
 * [Amy was later a big winner on Scrabble (April 1985, pre-Spelling format).]


 * December 14, 1976 (#0002: Janna {Game 2 - $800} vs. Garry, continued from yesterday {$50 each} with Joel playing later)
 * December 15, 1976 (#0003: Garry vs. Joel; Buzzr promos!)


 * December 21, 1976 (#0007: Joel at the Spoilers, then vs. Dennis with Roger playing later; Buzzr promos! {alternate copy})
 * [Star Trek is a subject at one point; this may not sound like much now, but it'd been over two years since The Animated Series ended and Paramount was still in the scripting process for an eventually-abandoned film (replaced by the also-canned Phase II revival that in turn led to The Motion Picture).]
 * December 24, 1976 (#0010: Roger vs. Chuck, with ALAN LUSHER playing later; Buzzr promos!)

Each subject now disappears before the CBS "ding" is played (began 12/27/76; prior to this, the ding sounded after the subject appeared onscreen, but before it was removed)
 * December 27, 1976 (#0011: Chuck vs. Alan, continued from last Friday with Judy playing later; Buzzr promos!)
 * December 30, 1976 (#0014: Alan vs. KATHY WEXLER, continued from yesterday {$450-$100 in Alan's favor} with Joe playing later {taped 12/76})

 * December 31, 1976 (#0015: Alan vs. Joe, continued from yesterday with Ed playing later {taped 12/76})

Passed clues in the Spoilers round now denoted by "PASS" on a green background (began 1/3/77; previously, they were denoted by an "X" on a green background)
 * January 3, 1977 (#0016: Alan vs. Ed, continued from last Friday with Judy playing later; Buzzr promos! {alternate copy})
 * [Promo at 3:32 of the primary copy is for Buzzr's year-long salute "Celebrating 75 Years of the TV Game Show", with a bunch of clips from Fremantle-owned games. One particularly notable clip, at 3:56, is from Split Personality!]
 * January 5, 1977 (#0018: Michael {$600} at the Spoilers, then {Game 2} vs. Nancy; Buzzr promos!)
 * January 6, 1977 (#0019: Nancy at the Spoilers, then vs. MORT CAMENS with Mark playing later; Buzzr broadcast)

Gene Wood announces (began 1/17/77)
 * January 20, 1977 (#0029: Julie {$1,550} vs. Joan, continued from yesterday {$350-$300 in Julie's favor} with RAY WINSTON playing later; minor video issues at a few points in Game 2 and part of fee plugs {Buzzr logo remains stationary}, part of Game 2 missing {video noticeably glitches at 3:25:19})
 * [Has a full credit roll. Regarding the issue at 3:25:19, said portion of Game 2 is clearly missing, and it seems to be a fault with the master tape.]

Family Feud (1976-85/1988-94/1999-2002)
Only the ABC daytime show is on the regular schedule as of this writing, although the Anderson version is part of the "bonus content" block mentioned at the top of the page.

Richard Dawson, ABC Daytime (1976-85)

Four episodes from 1981 (with Richard's then-future wife Gretchen Johnson playing, as well as Johnny Gilbert subbing for Gene Wood) aired as part of the network's "Love is On the Air" Valentine's Day programming in February 2016.

A "Cowboys vs. Cheerleaders" week (June 30-July 3, 1980) aired as part of a Super Bowl-related Feud marathon (the "Buzzr Bowl") on February 7, 2016. The July 12, 1977 episode was shown as part of Buzzr's 1st-Anniversary programming on June 1, 2016.

The "TV's All-Time Favorites" week from November 1983 (Lollipop Trees already in use by this point) aired during the week of June 20, 2016 to tie in with the new season of the ABC primetime version, which began on the 26th.

 * March 28, 1980 (#80-037: Tanaka vs. Sullivan {taped 3/4/80})

 * April 10, 1980 (#80-046: Drummond vs. Manoukian {back due to an error}, with an unusual Fast Money and a full credit roll)

 * April 11, 1980 (#80-047: Manoukian vs. Stevens, with Howard Felsher appearing on-camera!)

 * April 14, 1980 (#80-048: Manoukian vs. Hughes; Buzzr promos! {alternate copy})

Richard Dawson, Syndication (1977-85)

An episode from early 1984 (with the $300 goal) was aired as part of the "Buzzr Bowl" marathon.

The "Hollywood Walk of Fame" week (taped 1/20/85, $400 goal in place by this point) aired during the week of June 20, 2016 to tie in with the new season of the ABC primetime version, which began on the 26th.

$300 goal + Lollipop Trees (1983-84)
 * Early 1984 (Stavert vs. Moore; Buzzr promos! {alternate copy})

Ray Combs, CBS Daytime (1988-93)

Buzzr aired one-and-a-half episodes of Challenge as part of their "Lost and Found" week in September 2015.

Challenge format (debuted 6/29/92; show now runs an hour)
 * Taped Early 1992 (Pilot #3: Del Campo vs. Campbell, with Kakadelas {$12,500} playing later {alternate copy, with some commercials})
 * [Has a very different format, and finally explains why the top-center score display expanded to four digits (contrary to long-held belief, it has nothing to do with Bullseye). Oddly, Buzzr's "Lost and Found" promos referred to this as "Ray Combs' first hour-long Family Feud".]


 * July 3, 1992 (Soap Stars Week, Finale: The Young & The Restless {Doug Davidson/Jess Walton/Victoria Rowell/Scott Reeves/Kristoff St. John} vs. Guiding Light {Melina Kanakaredes/Frank DiCopoulos/Amelia Marshall/Melissa Hayden/Monti Sharp}, with The Bold & The Beautiful {John McCook/Bobbie Eakes/Colleen Dion/Kimberlin Brown/Brent Jasmer} playing later; Buzzr promos!, first half only)
 * [First Question: "When a woman checks her appearance in the mirror, name something that she checks." (first half), "Tell me something critics review." (second half). Airdate and second half info per a full original-broadcast upload with commercials. My best guess as to why Buzzr has only ever aired the first half is due to the As The World Turns (the other show playing this week) cast members who appear during the final segment.]

Ray Combs, Syndication (1988-94)

Buzzr aired a Celebrity Impersonators show as part of "Lost and Found" week, followed by the "AFC Quarterbacks vs. NFC Quarterbacks" week (also from 1993) in the "Buzzr Bowl" marathon. For the 1st-Anniversary programming on June 1, 2016, the network aired Pilot A from 1987 and the first show of Season 2 from '89.

Standard format (1988-92, Seasons 1-4)
 * Taped 8/87 (Pilot A: Perry vs. Mandic; Buzzr promos!)
 * [Slightly different intro and sound effects, the set's pretty clearly in midtransition between the Dawson and Combs eras, and a "RAY COMBS" placard is used during the intro (possibly inspired by Family Fortunes?). Also of note, there's a bunch of post-production edits to have Ray tone down some of his board calls, which probably wouldn't have been too noticeable had clips of the unaltered pilot not been online since April 2014.]


 * September 1989 (Season 2 Premiere: Moore {Day 2 - $10,431!} vs. Fedail)
 * [Ray notes that the champs are back for the first time in a while, indirectly referencing the Summer hiatus.]

Bullseye era (began 9/14/92, the start of Season 5)
 * February/May 1993 (Celebrity Impersonators, Day 1?: Ladies {"Joan Rivers"/"Marilyn Monroe"/"Madonna"/"Shannen Doherty"/"Whitney Houston"} vs. Men {"Alan Alda"/"Wayne Campbell"/"Garth Algar"/"Rod Stewart"/"Don Johnson"}; Buzzr promos! {alternate copy})
 * [First Question: "Name a holiday when people have a wild time." To be honest, I'm not really a fan of these specials, although they've sometimes surprised me (the lady doing Joan here is pretty good). Gene's intro refers to this as "The Battle of the Almost-Celebrities", which could easily apply to many of the not-impersonating-anybody "celebrity"-inclusive shows these days. :P]

He Said, She Said (1969-70)
Six episodes from 1970 were aired as part of the network's "Love is On the Air" Valentine's Day programming in February 2016, though I want to say they've aired a couple more since then.

The first question of each show will be listed as a distinguishing characteristic, as pretty much all game show collections I've seen only give the dates and celeb names (something I've also noticed with listings for Tattletales and the all-celeb era of the 1979-80 Beat the Clock).

Second intro/theme
 * 1970 (Dick & Loretta Clark/Bob Zamfino & E.J. Peaker/Hal Holbrook & Carol Rossen/Bert & Anne Convy; First Question: "A sign that he's getting older."; Buzzr promos!)

I've Got A Secret (1952-67)
A clip from the 1972-73 syndicated run, specifically of a firework shooting off, appeared in a promo for Buzzr's July 2016 programming. The portion of the celebrity desk visible has no nameplate, indicating it's from the first 12 or 13 shows (they were added on show 13 or 14).

Big thanks to I've Got A Secret Online for the below placement.

Garry Moore (1952-64)
 * April 26, 1961 (Bill Cullen, Betsy Palmer, Henry Morgan, Carol Burnett; Players: Marty Riesman & Martin Doss, Delia & Bertie Harris, Arthur Treacher; has the original commercials and Buzzr promos!)
 * May 10, 1961 (JOHNNY CARSON, Betsy Palmer, Henry Morgan, Bess Myerson; Players: Wayne Koons & George Cox, Donald O'Connor; has the original commercials and Buzzr promos!)
 * May 24, 1961 (Bill Cullen, Betsy Palmer, Henry Morgan, Bess Myerson; Players: Major-General Webster Anderson, Victor Borge; has the original commercials and Buzzr promos!)
 * July 5, 1961 (Bill Cullen, Betsy Palmer, Henry Morgan, Bess Myerson; Players: Wendell Moore; Francis, Bill, Mike, & John Martin; William Bendix; has the original commercials and Buzzr promos!)

Logo changes to the "four diamonds" style, second theme music debuts, set changes to a diamond-filled motif (began 9/ or 10/61)
 * October 16, 1961 (Bill Cullen, Betsy Palmer, Henry Morgan, Bess Myerson; Players: Donald Hulme, Fred Baldasare, ART LINKLETTER; has the original commercials and Buzzr promos!)

Bold outline and patterned background added to logo (began 11/13/61)
 * December 4, 1961 (Bill Cullen, Betsy Palmer, Henry Morgan, Bess Myerson; Players: John Cameron, Paul White & Frank Morrell, Roy Rogers; has the original commercials and Buzzr promos!)
 * December 11, 1961 (Bill Cullen, Betsy Palmer, Henry Morgan, Bess Myerson; Special Guests: Janet Leigh, Michel de la Vega; has the original commercials and Buzzr promos!)


 * February 5, 1962 (Bill Cullen, Betsy Palmer, Henry Morgan, Bess Myerson; Players: Willie Mosconi, Mary Elizabeth York, Michael Rennie; has the original commercials and Buzzr promos!)
 * June 18, 1962 (10th-Anniversary Show: Bill Cullen, Betsy Palmer, Henry Morgan, Bess Myerson; Players: Jane Hoberman, Pamela Hutchings, & Frankie Carotto, then Lon Masterson; has the original commercials and Buzzr promos!)
 * [Also has appearances by various staff members. Still has the second theme tune (the third and final theme debuted by 2/25/63).]

Let's Make A Deal (1963-77/1984-86)
Buzzr has aired the 1963 pilot, hence the designation. Originally, the 1970s syndicated version was on the regular schedule, but this was replaced with the mid-1980s series on June 1, 2016 (although clips of the latter had appeared in promos since the network's launch).

ABC Primetime (1969-71)

The standard intro ("These people, dressed as they are...") debuted sometime between mid-April 1969 and about mid-October 1970.
 * February 7, 1969 (Premiere: First trader is Judy; first deal involves a Western Union Valentine's CandyGram {Big Deal: $5,752}; Buzzr promos!

Standard intro (debuted by about mid-10/70)
 * December 26, 1970 (First traders are Mr. & Mrs. Lacey {taped 12/1/70}; first deal involves a $10,000 check! {Big Deal: $10,258})
 * [Spiegel catalog shown at 8:32 is the Fall/Winter 1970 one. One of three ABC primetime shows included in the first season of the syndicated run, and hence aired by both GSN and Buzzr. Sponsor list is shown in a kinda-burnt orange all-caps over the set.]

Syndicated (1971-77), Hollywood with blue curtains in back (1971-74)

When this run began taping, the sponsor list had white words on a background of stripes; this was initially yellow and brown, which appears to have changed to blue and black early on. Sometime in 1972, this was redone to have the words in blue with a white background, all in the Curtain/Door #2 border; this remained through the end of the run, with a slight modification after the Curtains and Doors were redone in '74.

Also sometime in 1972, and definitely by #63/S (taped 12/14/72), the trading floor steps changed from a solid, kinda-pale yellow/tan color to a more reddish style with silver/gray "edges" on top, which remained until the move to Las Vegas for the final season.

Also when this run began taping, the logo had no "registered trademark" (®) symbol present and the distributor was ABC Films. In 1973, probably when Season 3 began taping, the former was added to the logo and the latter was changed to Worldvision Enterprises; sometime in 1974, the Worldvision logo added a "Not affiliated with World Vision International, a religious and charitable organization." disclaimer, as the latter had threatened to sue.


 * 1971 (First trader is Sandy; first deal is a Tastee-Freez gift certificate {Big Deal: $7,176}, with a great moment seen in blooper specials!; Buzzr promos!)
 * [Spiegel catalog shown at 13:05 is the Fall/Winter 1971 one. May be #9/S, per GSN's advance schedule PDFs from 2008-09, which would explain why the sponsor list has yellow and brown stripes rather than the standard blue-and-black.]
 * 1971 (First trader is Betty; first deal is a choice between two items, beginning with "Ring or watch?" {Big Deal: $8,221}; Buzzr promos! {alternate copy, slightly longer})
 * [May be #14/S, per GSN's advance schedules. Has the white/yellow/brown sponsor list.]

Sponsor list changes to the standard white/blue/black style (began 1971)
 * 1971 (First traders are Marilyn & Harlan; first deal involves four wallets, one of which contains $1 and is hence worth a car {Big Deal: $9,452}; Buzzr promos!)
 * [Spiegel catalog shown at 4:57 is the Fall/Winter 1971 one. May be #13/S, per GSN's advance schedules, though the sponsor list is the white/blue/black style.]
 * [During the second deal, one trader's sign has "Let's Deal" on the front and "No Strike" on the back, which leads to a rimshot-esque effect. This may be a reference to the ILWU Strike, which lasted from July 1971 to February 1972.]


 * 1971 (First traders are Connie, Jocelyn, & Mary; first deal is a stack of nine bills, three per person {Big Deal: $9,064}; Buzzr promos!)
 * [Spiegel catalog shown at 17:14 is the Fall/Winter 1971 one. May be #24/S, per GSN's advance schedules.]

 * 1971-72 (First trader is Shari; first deal involves a box of Payday bars {Big Deal: $9,599}; Buzzr promos!)
 * [May be #26/S, per GSN's advance schedules. Monty notes during the first deal that "I did Let's Make A Deal in Las Vegas and we had to buy costumes for the chorus, and the costumes for 14 kids cost us $5,000. And you people make them for $3 apiece and it really kills me!"]


 * 1972 (First trader is Marcia; first deal starts with a $1,000 bill that might be fake {Big Deal: $9,350}; Buzzr promos!)
 * [May be #40/S, per GSN's advance schedules.]
 * 1972 (First traders are Kay & Olivia; first deal is Olivia making decisions for Kay {Big Deal: $8,444}; Buzzr promos! {alternate copy of Big Deal segment})
 * [May be #21/S, per GSN's advance schedules.]

 * [Spiegel catalog shown at 3:00 is the Fall/Winter 1972 one. May be #44/S, per GSN's advance schedules. Still has the "solid-color" trading floor steps and white/blue/black sponsor list.]
 * [At one point, Monty talks to an audience member who said his golf was terrible. "You watched me on a television show? You're not supposed to watch me on a television show playing golf! I'm a pretty rotten golfer. ...Anyhow, I beat Lee Trevino, didn't I?" The namedrop of Trevino makes me think he's referring to Golf For Swingers, a short-lived syndicated entry from '72.]

Reddish/"silver-edged" trading floor steps, sponsor list becomes blue with white background and Curtain/Door #2 border (began 1972)
 * Taped 11?/72 (First traders are Roger, Joyce, & Pat; first deal involves three eggs, at least one of which is raw and hence worth $1,000 {Big Deal: $9,143}; "shaky-cam" upload, video is a bit blurry, ends as ABC Films credit scrolls onscreen)
 * [Spiegel catalog shown at 17:03 is the Fall/Winter 1972 one. May be #60/S, per GSN's advance schedules.]
 * [Monty notes that an audience member, who introduces herself as Sue Coleman, won the Senior California Beauty Contest for 1972 (per this article from 10/30/72, Sue became the first Miss Senior California Beauty the previous Sunday, specifically October 29). Monty then notes that the lady sitting next to her, who was also in the contest, is Jay Stewart's mother!]


 * 1972 (First traders are Darlene, Nancy, & Kay; first deal starts with $100 for each player {Big Deal: $8,912}, with one Box having a set of ducks that quack so loudly they give themselves away well before Monty has a chance to sell them!; "shaky-cam" upload, really loud cough at around the 10:50 mark, some relatively-loud talking during second part of Big Deal)

 * [Spiegel catalog shown at 17:32 is the Fall/Winter 1973 one. One deal involves oversized fortune cookies, and Monty's comments suggest this is an early appearance by them (if not their debut).]

Mid-1980s (1984-86)

Buzzr's "package", as of this writing, consists of shows from the second half of Season 1: specifically, per Ryan Rinkerman's Season 1 episode guide, episodes 088-166.

Match Game (1962-69/CBS, 1973-79)
Buzzr has aired the 1962 pilot and an All-Star show from '64, both during the network's "Lost and Found" week in September 2015, hence the designation. Only Match Game '78 episodes are on the regular schedule as of this writing, though.

Big thanks to MatchGame.org for much of the below placement.

CBS (1973-79)

Pilot A and the Premiere were aired as part of the aforementioned "Lost and Found" week. The July 4, 1974 show aired as part of some Independence Day programming in July 2015, with another July '74 episode shown at some point.

Episodes 1-6 and 8-11 (July 2-9/11-16, 1973) were aired during the week of June 20, 2016 to tie in with the debut of the new ABC version on the 26th. From what I've read, Episode 7 (July 10) has always been skipped by GSN and was skipped by Canadian network Comedy Gold as well, so the fact Buzzr skipped it suggests that the master tape is damaged beyond repair (and has been for quite some time).

Aside from the below changes, one other major change in the early weeks was the addition of the "cash prize" sign for the Head-To-Head Match ($1000, $2500, or $5000) around July 30. The backing changed from tan to the standard black on October 29 (#0076).

Sometime between April 15 and May 29, 1975 (#0440 and #0471, respectively), the lights were changed from round numbers to square ones, adding space for a "1" so PM could show its top prize of $10,000. Interestingly, PM itself didn't begin taping until July 13.

1973
 * July 3, 1973 (#0002: Michael Landon, Vicki Lawrence, Jack Klugman, Jo Ann Pflug, Richard Dawson, Anita Gillette; Stanley at Super-Match, then vs. Trevor with Kaye playing later)

 * [Video begins with the end of a 1985 Family Feud show; link is timecoded to skip it.]

 * [Bob holds up a TPIR pricetag during the intro. Last episode with the Head-To-Head Match question holder's solid white backing (a red/orange portion was added), and the last with a silent celebrity-writing portion during the Head-To-Head Match.]

Now You See It (1974-75)
Buzzr aired three episodes as part of their "Lost and Found" week in September 2015: Test Episode #3, followed by the first two episodes of the series. The latter two were reshown during "Buzzr Brackets" in March 2016.

While the show was up for voting in the network's "Pick & Play" sweepstakes in October 2015 (which, oddly, included a screencap of the 1989 logo), it didn't finish in the top three. However, as of February 6, 2017, it replaces Sale of the Century on Sunday nights, as the latter moves to the nightly "Prime Time Party".

Five-player format (April-December 1974)
 * April 1, 1974 (Premiere: Tony & Ilsa vs. Lannie & Bert, with designated champ Linda {Solo Round is at $5,000})
 * April 2, 1974 (#2: Begins with Steve & Lynn vs. Pat & Ron; Buzzr promos!)

Three-player format (began 12/23/74)
 * Taped 11/27/74 (Test Episode #3: Susan {$1,000} at Solo Round, then Gordon vs. Helen with Donna and Diane playing later {Solo Round starts at $14,000}; Buzzr promos!)
 * [The last of three shows that were done to try out the slimmed-down/straddling format before going to air with it. All three also had the Bonus Word, which in the end just got tossed out with the format change.]

Password (1962-67 Primetime/1979-82/1984-89)
Only Super is on the regular schedule as of this writing. Buzzr aired the July 4, 1985 show as part of its Independence Day programming in July 2015, then showed the September 23, 1985 show as part of the network's 1st-Anniversary marathon in June 2016.

Big thanks to Mike's Classic TV Games Site for the CBS episode date, MatchGame.org for the Plus listings, and Jason Cranmer for some of the Super-era placement.

CBS Primetime (1962-65/1966-67)

A 1963 episode aired as part of Buzzr's "Love is On the Air" Valentine's Day marathon in February 2016, albeit with the commercials and opening sponsor plug removed.

Password Plus (1979-82)

The July 4, 1980 episode aired as part of Buzzr's Independence Day programming in July 2015. Four more episodes (February 5-8, 1979) aired during the aforementioned "Love is On the Air" marathon.

Allen Ludden (1979-80)
 * February 7, 1979 (Betty White & Dick Martin; Joe {$1,100} vs. Judy Kay, continued from yesterday {$100 each} with John playing later; seems to end during credits)
 * [The loser of Game 1 is brought back for Game 2 due to a mistake the show made yesterday. Has a full credit roll.]

Super Password (1984-89)
 * September 25, 1984 (#2: Gloria Loring & PAT SAJAK; Ed {Game 2 - $1,200} vs. Patricia, continued from yesterday {$100-$0 in Ed's favor} with Dave playing later {Cashword starts at $2,000; Super Password starts at $10,000})
 * ["CA$HWORD" logo is still tiny. Endgame words are still white, and its timer is still small.]

Puzzle solution door changed to the show's logo (began 10/8/84; prior to this, it looked the same as the password doors); endgame words become yellow, endgame timer enlarged (began by 10/12/84)
 * October 12, 1984 (Vicki Lawrence & Tom Poston; Dan {$6,000} vs. Kristen, continued from yesterday {$200-$100 in Dan's favor} with Karen playing later {Super Password starts at $5,000}; "Pre-Buzzr" airing from 6/1/15, with promos!)
 * [Promo at 13:35 includes a Body Language clip from 1984 (the graphical setup shown was only used for the first few months or so), whereas Buzzr started their run of the show in January '85. I also get the feeling the Super Password clip near the end (of Convy saying "You bet your ass.") didn't actually air on TV.]

"CA$HWORD" logo enlarged to its normal size (began by 10/19/84)
 * October 19, 1984 (Edie McClurg & Nathan Cook; Linda {Game 2 - $1,300} vs. Lisa, continued from yesterday {$200-$100 in Lisa's favor} with Bill playing later {Cashword starts at $4,000; Super Password starts at $25,000}; Buzzr promos!)

 * October 23, 1984 (Marcia Wallace & BILL CULLEN; Danna at Super Password, then vs. Lance, with a moment at 10:45 that really shouldn't have been allowed; Buzzr promos!)
 * [Bert addresses said incident after the next commercial break: if the contestant who caused the incident ends up winning the game, the disadvantaged player will be brought back for the next game. If the disadvantaged player wins, then really no harm done.]


 * November 20, 1984 (Jo Anne Worley & Charles Siebert; Jackie {$1,600} vs. Carla, continued from yesterday {$300-$0 in Carla's favor} with Bob playing later {Cashword starts at $3,000; Super Password starts at $35,000}; Buzzr promos!)

Gene Wood becomes announcer (began 11/26/84; Rich Jeffries announced prior to this)
 * December 28, 1984 (Shelley Smith & Jamie Farr; Sue {$10,500} at Super Password, then vs. Marjorie {Cashword starts at $4,000; Super Password starts at $20,000} with the set decorated for Christmas!; "shaky-cam" upload, bunch of noises at times)
 * [Rich fills in for Gene.]


 * March 21, 1985 (Vicki Lawrence & Greg Morris; Karenjo {$6,300} vs. Roanne, continued from yesterday {$200-$100 in Karenjo's favor} with Creagh playing later {Cashword starts at $2,000; Super Password starts at $20,000})

Press Your Luck (1983-86)
While the current schedule has the show in late 1983/early 1984, Buzzr aired the July 4, 1985 episode as part of its Independence Day programming in July 2015. The Michael Larson game from June 1984 was aired on July 31, 2016, alongside "a showcase of Press Your Luck's other big single-day winners" (as of the "$25,000 limit" rule).

Sale of the Century (Syndicated, 1985-86)
First aired October 19, 2015, getting on the schedule thanks to Buzzr's "Pick & Play" Sweepstakes. For an episode guide, see here.

Season 1 (January-May 1985)

Originally, the endgame prize structure was $85-$195-$285-$390-$485-$610 (car)-$720 (all six prizes)-$830 (Lot). These were tweaked to the standard progression of $85-$175-$260-$340-$445-$530-$640-$750 on 1/28/85, likely to make everything past Level 1 a bit easier to actually get to.


 * January 7, 1985 (#S-1/Premiere: Jack/Andra/Buck {Cash Jackpot: $50,000}; Buzzr promos, plus Contestant/Ticket Plugs! {alternate copy})

TattleTales (CBS, 1974-78)
While starting out as a revival of He Said, She Said, this show quickly went in its own direction (i.e., all-Quickies), hence why they're separate.

The first question of each show is listed as a distinguishing characteristic, as pretty much all game show collections I've seen only give the dates and celeb names (something I've also noticed with listings for He Said, She Said and the all-celeb era of the 1979-80 Beat the Clock).

Buzzr aired four shows from Week 17 as part of their "Love is On the Air" Valentine's Day programming in February 2016. They've also shown a 1976 episode sub-hosted by Bob Barker as part of the network's "Buzzr Brackets" programming in March, probably because they (as of this writing) can't get ahold of the show he's well-known for.

Big thanks to MatchGame.org and (mostly) Ian's Game Show and Classic TV Site for much of the below placement. Note that per the latter, for a couple of lengthy periods in 1974 CBS aired two weeks of shows by alternating between them from day to day (for instance, Week 13 aired May 14, 16, 20, 22, and 24 while Week 14 aired May 15, 17, 21, 23, and 27).

For the sake of my sanity, I'll be going by what I'm sure were the intended airdates rather than CBS' wonky style.

Original format (February-June 1974 {first 18 weeks})

For the first two weeks, Jack Clark's intro began with "Everyone in our studio audience in Television City in Hollywood has a money stake...", and Bert introduced the three seated on the left-hand side of the set before those who were sitting at center stage. The standard intro debuted on March 4, with the announcer's intros of the couples removed on June 10.

When the show debuted, the monitors' borders were all green and the celebrity nameplates were black-on-orange. The standard forms of both debuted in May.

A few episodes, particularly during the last couple weeks of this format, were special "all-Quickie" days.


 * February-March 1974 (William Shatner & Marcy Lafferty/Warde Donovan & Phyllis Diller/Orson & Carolyn Bean {taped 2/74}; First Question: "It happened in a car."; Buzzr promos! {alternate copy))
 * [From Week 2 (February 25-March 1). While there's video issues at a few points, the Buzzr logo remains stationary.]

Jack and Bert's intros standardized (began 3/4/74)
 * March 25, 1974 (#0026: Allen Ludden & Betty White/Chuck Woolery & Jo Ann Pflug/Bill & Ann Cullen {taped 3/17/74}; First Question: "It happened while you were dating."; Buzzr promos!)
 * [From Week 6 (March 25-29).]


 * April 8?, 1974 (Gary & Barbara Crosby/Pat & Marjorie Harrington/Ken Berry & Jackie Joseph; First Question: "A story involving in-laws."; Buzzr promos! {alternate copy with commercials, ends during final segment})
 * [From Week 8 (April 8-12).]
 * Mid-April 1974 (Alejandro & Joyce Rey/Bobby Van & Elaine Joyce/Orson & Carolyn Bean; First Question: "A time you were embarrassed."; Buzzr promos! {alternate copy})
 * [From Week 9 (April 15-19).]

Monitors' borders become color-coded (began 5/13/74); nameplates become white-on-green (began 5/20/74)
 * Mid-May 1974 (Jerry Stiller & Anne Meara/Greg & Lee Morris/Dick Gautier & Barbara Stuart; First Question: "Your first date."; Buzzr promos!)
 * [From Week 14 (May 20-24).]
 * Late May 1974 (Glenn Ford & Cynthia Hayward/Orson & Carolyn Bean/Lee Bernhardi & Janet Lennon; First Question: "It happened away from home."; Buzzr promos!)
 * [From Week 15 (May 27-31).]

"All-Quickies" format (debuted 6/24/74)

The format change also resulted in the buttons being removed, since they no longer have any relevance.

Sometime between mid-July and mid-October 1974, all instances of the "ding" sound were changed to the standard CBS ding. Sometime between late November 1974 and early September 1975, the directing was altered slightly to have the spouses shown on the monitors all at once before Bert introduces the first one; previously, they appeared one at a time as he introduced them.


 * Early July 1974 (Bobby & Julie Troup/Bill & Rona Barrett/Dick Gautier & Barbara Stuart; clip of a question about Playgirl, with an amusing moment!)
 * [From Week 20 (July 1-5). Question is "Let's pretend for the moment that you're the editor of Playgirl magazine. What man would you pick for the next month's nude centerfold?"]

To Tell The Truth (1956-67 Primetime/1969-78)
Only the CBS primetime show is on the regular schedule as of this writing. Big thanks to To Tell The Truth On The Web for some of the below placement and info.

CBS Primetime (1956-67)

Six episodes outside of the regular schedule's range (the 11/56 pilot, 4/29/58, 12/24/59, 12/12/60, and 11/8/65) aired as part of a marathon on June 12, 2016 to tie in with the debut of the new ABC version that night.

Three-game format (began 1/22/57); standard set: panelists at left, players at right (debuted sometime between 3/3 and 6/23/60)

 * [Bud's comments indicate this is Abe's first nighttime show, though this isn't actually true (he'd appeared at least twice before, on 2/19/57 and 2/13/61).]

Syndication, Garry Moore (1969-77)

Buzzr aired eight episodes from Season 2 (the entirety of Week 51 from 1970 and three shows of Week 70 from '71) during a special Mark Goodson marathon in January 2016. Two '71 episodes were later shown on May 22, 2016, at least one of which had already aired in the Goodson marathon.

Original, "psychedelic" set (1969-71)

What's My Line? (1950-67)
Buzzr has also shown a few clips of the 1968-75 syndicated series in promos, most notably Gerald Ford's appearance during the Blyden era.

Big thanks to The Goodson-Todman "Big 4" Game Show Index and the episode guide at the Mark Goodson Wiki for much of the below placement.

Original rules: "free guess" by each panelist for civilian contestants, Mystery Guest questioning done like the civilian rounds

The "free guess" was basically a wild guess with almost no info to go on, although the earliest years saw panelists have players do things like walk with books on their head. While some played their guess for laughs, usually bouncing off a prior guess, on about nine occasions (see here for the six surviving instances) a panelist did luck into the correct answer, resulting in the contestant automatically getting the $50 and leaving without much further conversation.


 * January 16, 1955 (Dorothy Kilgallen, Robert Q. Lewis, Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf; Players: Sam Nadler, Anna Cecealci?, Esther Williams; has the original commercials and Buzzr promos, audio/video goes out of sync for the last part of Game 1)
 * January 23, 1955 (Dorothy Kilgallen, Fred Allen, Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf; Players: Nicole Germain, Alice Crisafulle, Dennis Day; has the original commercials and Buzzr promos!)
 * [Mention is made of the French-Canadian version, Chacun son Metier, which ran from 1954-59 on Radio-Canada (a TV station). Of note, a guest panelist joins the regulars for Game 2, seated to Bennett's left.]


 * February 6, 1955 (5th-Anniversary Show: Dorothy Kilgallen, Fred Allen, Arlene Francis, Sam Levenson; Players: Patricia Finch {the show's first-ever contestant!}, Ruth Whitney, Pearl Bailey, Eunice Blackie; has the original commercials, Buzzr promos, and a Contestant Plug, minor glitchiness at a few points)
 * February 20, 1955 (Dorothy Kilgallen, Fred Allen, Arlene Francis, Ezio Pinza; Players: Arthur Berk, F. Henry Burkhardt, Dorothy Lamour; has the original commercials and Buzzr promos!)
 * [Arlene notes that Ezio is filling in for Bennett.]


 * March 27, 1955 (Dorothy Kilgallen, WALLY COX, Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf; Players: Charles Hume, Max Fleischman, Tyrone Power, Jack Syke; has the original commercials and Buzzr promos! {alternate copy, audio is a bit low})
 * [Dorothy notes that Wally is filling in for Fred. Unfortunately, he's really hard to watch here, as he seems to be derailing things intentionally – especially in Game 4, where his questions take up more than half of the remaining time and cause Arlene to point out that he hadn't been listening to John. (Compare to someone like Groucho Marx, where the derailing and "play for laughs" mentality was a well-established part of him.)]


 * April 3, 1955 (Dorothy Kilgallen, Robert Q. Lewis, Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf; Players: Edle Jariren?, Eugene White, Fred Astaire, Lillian Saul; has the original commercials, audio is a bit low)
 * [John pronounces Edle's last name like "Idlesen", even though it doesn't really look like it.]
 * April 10, 1955 (Dorothy Kilgallen, Fred Allen, Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf; Players: Amelia Adler, Celia Abrams, Rhonda Fleming, Ben Burley; has the original commercials, audio is a bit low)
 * [Oddly, the panelist intros go from right to left.]

"Free guess" rule removed, standard Mystery Guest questioning rules debut (began 4/17/55)

Civilian rounds are now a bit quicker, and the Mystery Guest rounds more varied (the panelists now ask questions in turn regardless of the answer). The show still wasn't the well-oiled machine it's generally known for being, though – that only came with the removal of the "walk of shame" (the civilian contestants walking in front of the panel before sitting down next to John) in May 1956, at Arlene's insistence.


 * June 19, 1955 (Dorothy Kilgallen, Fred Allen, BETTY WHITE, Bennett Cerf; Players: Jack Adam, Carolyn Weinberg, Arnold Stang, William Gunn; has the original commercials and Buzzr promos!)
 * July 10, 1955 (Dorothy Kilgallen, JACK PAAR, Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf; Players: Dudley Woodman, Steve Nozeleski?, Sheree North, Jack B. Corn; has the original commercials, Buzzr promos, and a Contestant Plug!)
 * [Per Dorothy and John, Jack is filling in for Fred, who's out sick.]


 * September 4, 1955 (Dorothy Kilgallen, Fred Allen, Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf; Players: James P. Mitchell, Rose Kouzouzakis?, Jean Pierre Aumont, Uani Maris; has the original commercials and Buzzr promos!)
 * October 16, 1955 (Dorothy Kilgallen, Fred Allen, Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf; Players: J.L. Goldberg, Alfred Masehino, Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey; has the original commercials and Buzzr promos!)
 * [Dorothy notes that Fred is back after an absence. Fred plugs the home game, and later namedrops The $64,000 Question.]
