Welcome to @ The Buzzr.  

2018 is closing up real soon, but not without a now-annual tradition. More on that once I return.

I asked you  did the 1996 card sharks pilot bonus game ruin the nature of it? You said......no. Interesting. I'll have another one after I tell you about.....A Betty WHite Christmas

BUZZR is the entertainment home for game shows galore created by entertainment mega-giant Fremantle. Did we say giant? Fremantle says it produces 12,000 hours of original programming, airing 450 programs a year worldwide. You’ve seen Fremantle’s name after shows as different as Family Feud and The Young Pope. But back to BUZZR and the great Betty White. The 90-something (we won’t tell, but wow) royal queen of comedy is a Christmas staple at BUZZR, which is showing its 4th Annual Betty White Christmas starting on December 17 and running till Christmas.

ake a look at the 4th Annual Betty White Christmas trailer here. You’ll see White just crushing the comedy in the heyday of game shows on classics like What’s My Line and Match Game. There there’s Beat the Clock, To Tell the Truth, Password and more. On Christmas Day you can binge on Betty like nobody’s business, with a Match Game Marathon from 8:00 a.m. ET until 6:00 a.m. ET on Boxing Day. Stream BUZZR from here.

So are you going to watch it? I'll give you until January to decide.

That should end it.  anything you question or comment goes to me on social media or email and we'll explain. We will see you all @ The.....................

Welcome to @ The Buzzr.  

The WInk Martindale channel has unveiled upon your eyes 2 unseen pilots. The first of which is an old favorite of the 70's & 80's. I'll tell you why after I return.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InjopuqU_d0

I asked you do you want to watch The Great CHristmas Light Fight and it looks like  you passed on it. So, let's move on to our main story.

In 1996, All American Television wanted to re-do Card Sharks. This time, Tom Green was the host and Dee Dee Weathers dealt out the cards. Only difference was instead of 2 decks of cards, they had to build a pyramid of cards. Not fun. Also, they brought in an old fearure from the 1986 version. This time, 10 rock stars vixens were in the crowd. Also, the bonus round was different. The old version has the Money Cards, the holy grail of the show. Instead, it was 3 stars and each question had a quote for the stars to fit. Again, not fun. Up to 4 cards were in the diamond and every card was worth $100 times it's card like a 7 for $700. One card is the ace and do you know what it's worth? $5000.

So....Did the Card Sharks 1996 bonus game ruin the nature of it? i'll give you 2 weeks to think on it.

That should end it.  anything you question or comment goes to me on social media or email and we'll explain. We will see you all @ The.....................

Welcome to @ The Buzzr.  

Family Feud was at an all time high in 1977, that ABC decided to follow suit with a somewhat related follow up involving both sexes. I'll tell you about it once I return. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InjopuqU_d0

We asked you were you excited for Classic Concentration coming back and you all agreed. We've got another one after I tell you about...The Better Sex.

Dividing the battle between Men and Women, the show featured Bill Anderson manning the men and Sarah Purcell doing the same to the women. The Objective is to fool the opposing sex by bluffing to trivia questions and doing so knocked 2 out. Othewise, the opposing team tries to do the same plus 1 from the team. Knocking them all out got $1000 and a chance at $5000 by knocking 30 members of the opposing sex from the audience. Any members after 6 questions still standing will divide $500. Although it was short lived, it was about the only time Sarah Purcell hosted a game show. 

And speaking of hosts, Which one was your favorite? You get 2 weeks to think it over.

That should end it.  anything you question or comment goes to me on social media or email and we'll explain. We will see you all @ The.....................

Welcome to @ The Buzzr.  

SO we're back with the original format and we'll start with something Buzzr had.....and their first in over 30 years. Find out once I return. 



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InjopuqU_d0



SO we told you which game show hosts were disc jockeys....well, Jeff FOxworthy is one example, as did Geoff Edwards, Dennis James, Tom Kennedy, Jack Narz and more I forgot to mention. We'll have another one after I tell you about......................

For the first time in over 30 years, Classic Concentration makes its way back onto television. Hosted by Alex Trebek, he takes the unchanged format of Concentration and adds in more prizes along with wild cards, take cards and having 8 cars in a bonus round like none other. From 1987-1991, the show was a hit with daytime viewers and was the last in the franchise. This was also the 2nd incarnation under the Goodson umbrella since they didn't own it anyway.


Now, we want to know were you excited for CC?  I'll give you 2 weeks to think on it.




That should end it.  anything you question or comment goes to me on social media or email and we'll explain. We will see you all @ The.....................

The Games of Sweep, Part 2

http://www.qwizx.com/gssfx/usa/mgbuzzer.wav 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMVwM6dogbg

...with the master of Everything buzz.....and can stocker, Pierre Kelly!


Welcome to @ The Buzzr.  

So here we are. We're in September and that means we are focusing on the games in the most recent version of Supermarket Sweep. Today we focus up on the big sweep money makers.

Throughout the sweep, there are bonuses that range from $50 to $250, but there's more than getting a big thing, because there's more.

• Coffee (Value: $100, later $200) – Runners were required to grind a bag of coffee beans.

• Candy (Value: $100, later $200) – Runners were required to bag and weigh $1.00 worth of candy. Contestants could be off within two cents above or below $1.00, and the bonus was still earned. In the Lifetime version, contestants simply used a paper bag. In the PAX version, players used a plastic bag and were then required to use a twist tie to seal the bag in order to get credit for the bonus.

eginning with the introduction of the candy, both it and the coffee bonus were available to shoppers on each episode. This changed for Season 9 (the final season) to have only one or the other available for any particular Big Sweep. The item for that episode was announced at the start of the Big Sweep, and the bonus doubled to $200. Earlier, the candy was omitted from episodes that had the Jelly Belly money maker (see below), as Jelly Belly is a candy.

• Shopping List (Value: $250, later $300 for the Alphabet Game) – Before the Sweep, David gave a list of three products in the market to be found. The Alphabet Game was played the same way, but with David mentioning three consecutive letters of the alphabet as well as the products beginning with those letters (the products had to be placed into mini-baskets that were located in the front of the carts to count, and only one of each item; multiple mini-baskets could be used if needed).

• Magazine Display – Picking up three or four magazines that were listed by David, from the many titles to choose from.

• Jelly Belly Display – Bagging three flavors of Jelly Belly jelly beans that David wanted from the many flavors to choose from. This omitted the candy bonus to go along with the coffee, due to Jelly Belly being a candy.

• International Bread Center – Bagging certain quantities of three bread types that were listed by David, from the many bread types to choose from.

• Breakfast Break – Getting five breakfast items that David asked for with the help of their partners, which all had to be placed in mini-baskets; this was later changed to two breakfast items with David announcing over the loudspeaker during the sweep and then completely removed. The reason for this is that its rules were too confusing for viewers to figure out.
• Instant Coupon Machines – Three instant coupon machines were located throughout the market, and the contestant would grab a coupon and find the item for that coupon, and finding all three items with these coupons won $250.

• Frozen Yogurt Machine – Dispensing three flavors of frozen yogurt into a plastic cup (and in a certain order), from the following four flavors: Triple Fudgy Chocolate, Vanilla Bean Dream, Sweet Peachy Peach, and Berry Berry Raspberry.

• TV Mystery Product (Value: $250, $300 for The $300 Movie) – Runners tried to find a product using clues displayed on three television monitors in the market. This bonus was later changed to the use of two television monitors in 2001, which allowed other money makers using the TV monitors, including Splitting the Name, with one half of a product's name on each of the two monitors, and The $300 Movie, in which David would say "Activate the TV monitors" over the loudspeaker during the sweep, and the clues would be available for the contestants, in which they would find a single copy of the movie. Originally, the monitors were touchscreen, but often a clue would take too long to appear, taking up a contestant's shopping time; so this was later changed to buttons placed below the monitors; a contestant could receive their clues simply by pushing the monitors' buttons, which also activate red lights surrounding the buttons. Early episodes with this game didn't reveal what the name of the product was if nobody found it.

• Stack Job (Value: $100, later $150) – Runners had to find one of three bags filled with empty soda cans that were spread throughout the market and return the bag to their partner. Their partner then had to go to their table and, using all 21 cans, stack the empty soda cans in the shape of a pyramid as shown before the Sweep began. Getting the "Stack Job" done awarded the team a token good for the bonus.

And let's not forget......

• Manager's Special or Red Tag Special (Value: $200) – During the Sweep, Ruprecht announced the "Manager's Special" or the "Red Tag Special" of the day via the market's loudspeaker (later his announcements became pre-recorded, often reused). The contestant had to run to a red-and-white barrel at the front of the market for the Manager's Special or a shopping cart at the back of the market for the Red Tag Special that was filled with products and find the specially marked item (marked with a red symbol such as a red star or a red X for the Manager's Special, a red tag for the Red Tag Special). An unmarked item awarded no bonus to the team, even if it was the correct product. Sometimes gags (such as a severed hand, a rubber chicken, etc.) would be put into those props for humor.

And of course, when the bell rings, the team with the most things in the cart gets to go for the big money. When we come back in October, we'll do Classic Concentration.

That should end it.  anything you question or comment goes to me on social media or email and we'll explain. We will see you all @ The.....................
