Our nearly 11 month old has been home sick the last couple of days so I've been off work to take care of him. I've noticed the daytime [Buzzr] schedule doesn't exactly have any pattern to it in some ways.
To be honest, I'm starting to wonder if there's any pattern to the entire Buzzr schedule. I know, it's just a barely watched diginet that isn't even available in a large majority of U.S. households. But they sure do some funny things on weekdays.
For three-fourths of the day they program almost nothing but Match Game, Family Feud - at least they're now mixing in some Combs eps - and the B&W trio (To Tell the Truth, What's My Line, I've Got a Secret). Then comes prime time on the east and west coasts, and they suddenly switch to six other shows, most of which will appeal only to the hardest-core of the hardcores.
Maybe I'm sour because the only current prime time show I like much is Password Plus. And maybe Buzzr figures they can't possibly meet the prime time competition from other outlets. So they'll just toss up a salad bowl of shows and save their biggest names - MG and Feud - for other hours when the competition is less intense.
It still seems an odd way to program a diginet.
