A show I get a kick out of on BUZZR is the old 70's version of Concentration with Jack Narz. Some of those prizes were so low budget ( Cheese, Olives, Cold Medications, Macaroni etc....)The car was usually a crappy Chevette hatch back in burnt orange. This one young guy college age contestant has on a huge opened butterfly collar shirt with the gold chain and polyester leisure suit.....it was almost a parody of the 70's.

I love 70s Concentration for all of those same reasons! "Baby freshener" and "Toni home wave" are two of my favorite regular prizes. I also really appreciate the music used for the head starts and the prize descriptions at the end of the rounds. It really doesn't get better than Score Productions in the 70s.

Have y'all been watching Whew! on Buzzr? I didn't expect to get into it like I would - I guess I was turned off by the cartoony graphics, which I just assumed were a gimmick for the entire show, but I actually really enjoy it, and I see why it's called Whew. I feel like airing this back-to-back with Split Second would have you feeling exhausted afterward.

I'm super glad that I can only see Buzzr through the Pluto app because we're getting Dawson Feud instead of 90s Newlywed Game in primetime, and I don't think I've regularly watched Dawson Feud in ages, since it was still shown on GSN at a decent hour. It's made me fall in love with Feud again, which is impressive considering how much seeing Steve Harvey's version makes me hate the show so, so much.

This fall on CBS Daytime, The Price is Right starts its 51st season and Lets Make a Deal starts its 14th season. As of today they are the longest running and 5th longest running daytime game shows on US network television. The shows in between: the NBC Daytime versions of Concentration (1958-1973), Wheel of Fortune (1975-1989), and Hollywood Squares (1966-1980).

    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with. 
    • How did this come to be?

      Btw, if he’s on again, you should apply to be a contestant
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...

    • Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.
    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
