A while back I noted Buzzr's annoying habit of stuffing a pile of commercial time into their B&W shows. I'm not alone in my grumpiness. A poster on Buzzr's Facebook page sighs. 5 minute Plexaderm commercial in the middle of a show...there has to be a better way.
Yes, there is a better way. Just cut all the extra commercials and run the shows at their original 30-minute length. Easy peasy.
And in a nice bit of schedule news from Buzzr, Celebrity Name Game returns starting June 4. Craig and friends will frolic at 10:30 PM weeknights, replacing Tattletales in the prime time lineup. I always thought Tattletales was a forgettable, weak tea knockoff of Newlywed Game, so I don't regret the departure.
The other shows from the scrapped Friday night "new-ies" block are nowhere to be found. But at least CNG will blow a bit of dust off the oldies diginet. Could this be the start of less ancient shows in prime time on Buzzr? Wild blue thought experiment: last year's The Price is Right and Let's Make a Deal at 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM, and Steve Harvey's Family Feud and CNG at 10:00 PM.
Suddenly Buzzr might actually draw an audience. The microscopic older-is-better crowd would go ballistic, but who cares? Anyway, this is the craziest speculation.
