User:Daniel Benfield/Buzzr Broadcasts

Kind of an experimental page, since this is gonna be 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.

Note that there will probably be minor spoilers for 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 ©1950-2015 Goodson-Todman Productions/Hatos-Hall Productions/Carruthers Company/FremantleMedia and associated entities.

AND ANOTHER THING: Yes, I know some YouTube channels have uploaded a bunch of Match Game '78 and Dawson Family Feud shows from Buzzr. To be honest, I'm not sure whether I'll go through those.
