User:Daniel Benfield/Buzzr Broadcasts

Kind of an experimental page, since this is gonna be a hodgepodge of shows. Shows are arranged alphabetically.

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 shows from Buzzr. To be honest, I'm not sure whether I'll go through those.
