Reruns of a number of old GSN originals are on this schedule, as well.

Looks like we will hear Louie shout out Izid Updare again. Anderson Feud’s departure is only temporary.

Yep. And it looks like Buzzr finally realized that there are enough Caldwell Tic Tac Dough, Cullen Joker's Wild, Fleming Jeopardy!, and Woolery Wheel episodes for the weekday schedule.

Jeopardy!, Wheel, Tic Tac Dough, Barry/Cullen syndicated Joker, and $25K/100K Pyramid leave weekends altogether, but will now be seen on weekdays. 12 noon TJW is assumed to be the CBS version, and right after, the 1990 version gets a spot on the weekend schedule. Richard Karn's Feud joins the schedule as part of a 2 hour block of Feud on weekend afternoons, as well.

The only thing that sucks here is that Millionaire, $ale, Scrabble, Trivia Trap, and Hot Potato leave the schedule. The deal with Hasbro to air Scrabble must be expiring, and the leases for Millionaire and Hot Potato are likely expiring, as well. Buzzr probably chose not to renew them for the time being. I would've be surprised if these shows do return in due time.

It sucks that those shows are going. But the addition of Whine, Loose, or Drown with Burt Conly makes up for it.

"What's My line" with John Daly is also not showing in either the weekday line up nor the week end line up posted here.
Gary Moore’s I’ve got a Secret at least made the weekend cut
There were plenty o’ shows to air from 1950-1967 of What’s My Line that could have been played. This sucks, to me.

There have been rumors that they will be doing a game of the week type deal on Saturday nights beginning in 2018. They're said to be planning to draw mostly from Fremantle's library, with some one time only leases of shows they don't own, but could end up full leases down the road. WML with John Daly, if it does come back, would likely only air on weekends overnight, given that's the only time they'll be airing the B&W shows.

Buzzr refuses to air Now You See It until, if and when, Chuck Henry gives them the OK to air his version. Stupid reason if you ask me, but at least we still have some good shows on the schedule.

Bumping to announce that Win, Lose, or Draw is already set to leave the schedule come January 15, being replaced by Supermarket Sweep. I predicted they'd add it on the very day Fremantle purchased the format.

BUMP!

Anderson Feud is coming back to Buzzr in January. We will head Izid Updare’s name again after all!

It's already back on the schedule, in the 1am hour! But it's supposed to move back to a better timeslot.
