DownGoesFrazier Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 We have discussed that reruns of "What's My Line?" are no longer shown on the Game Show Network. I have discovered that they ARE on Buzzr, another cable game show network, I'll try to find out exactly when they are scheduled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swithin Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 We have discussed that reruns of "What's My Line?" are no longer shown on the Game Show Network. I have discovered that they ARE on Buzzr, another cable game show network, I'll try to find out exactly when they are scheduled. Never heard of that channel but looked it up and found that I have it. On my onscreen guide, it's called WWORD3 (onscreen logo and online channel lineups for my cable company call it FOX BUZZR). What's My Line is on at 2:30pm, followed by I've Got a Secret. They're on those same times am as well. It's Channel 74 on RCN Cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swithin Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 2:30 on what days? Seems to be (upon quick look) 2:30 pm and am; also 4:30 am during the week. They also show To Tell the Truth. Weekend schedule for WML seems to be Saturday 11:30am and 1:30pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems always to be followed by that, which in turn is sometimes followed by To Tell the Truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepiatone Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 They ALL get moved around the clock on the schedule from what I can scope. Right now, they usually show two "back-to-back" FAMILY FEUDS with Dawson at this time(11:00 am as of tis typing) Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 DGF, I've noticed that while the Buzzr channel is indeed showing WML again, it seems the package they purchased is a limited one, as unlike back a few years ago when GSN was showing this game show's entire run from the early-'50s through to the late-'60s, the Buzzr showings seem to end and are replayed just before Fred Allen's sudden death. (...and btw...is it only me, or did Arlene Francis just get better and better looking as the years progressed?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dargo Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 It is not just you. I know, huh! I tell ya Rich, by the time GSN's old showing of the complete and entire run of this program was over and I'd watched 'em all, I have to say I ended up being very infatuated with the wonderfully witty and charming Arlene Francis. (...what a woman...the complete package!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dabb Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Here's a famous actor from "What's My Line?" - but I can't tell if it's Ray Milland, Count Dracula or Robert Taylor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had seen a very substantial number of episodes on GSN, but the one I saw Saturday had Audie Murphy as mg, which I had never seen. Cerf, like he frequently did, recognized his voice.

danthemoviefan Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Does Buzzr squeeze the end credits on shows like GSN has done for the last several years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Does Buzzr squeeze the end credits on shows like GSN has done for the last several years? Not sure, but Buzzr's showings of WML include the commercials from the original shows. GSN's showings did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arturo Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Does anyone with Directv know if it offers this channel? I came across BUZZ, two of them in fact, but they seem to be infomercial channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope Arturo, I don't believe DirecTV offers Buzzr, nor for that matter any over-the-airwaves broadcast "subchannels" such as MeTV...at least it didn't up to about a year or so ago, and when we switched from DirecTV and to the bundled service we now have with Suddenlink cable service here in AZ, and how I now get Buzzr, MeTV and Movies!. (...btw, just now after Wiki-ing "Buzzr", I found in L.A. this channel is a substation of KCOP-TV on channel 13.2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGayDivorcee Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I was so happy to discover What's My Line and I've Got a Secret on GSN a few weeks ago, only to have them vanish. I saw most of the episodes on GSN years ago when they aired the "Black and White Over Night" block. Fun to see how creative the stars were in disguising their voices, not to mention just seeing them as themselves. Fascinating TV. I highly recommend Lee Israel's biography of Dorothy Killgallen. I'm surprised no one has made a biopic of her life. I believe Dominic Dunne wrote about her strange death near the end of his life, but haven't read anything new on her since then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like a cornucopia of celebs of the past appearing. I never have watched full shows just get on Youtube occasionally to see a few. Thanks for trying to locate more viewing possibilities, DGF. Speaking of Dorothy Kilkallen, I think it was Jack Paar who said she wore arsenic lipstick! Oops, just checked it was "novocaine lipstick" not arsenic. Sorry!

DownGoesFrazier Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 I saw today's episode. I always thought that that Cerf was the smartest one on the panel. A guy comes on, and they did not divulge his home town, because they said that would give a clue. I immediately thought "Vegas". The other panelists totally ignored this, but Cerf was thinking the same thing I was........Incidentally, the next guest was William Parker, L.A. Chief of Police, for whom Parker Center is now named. I'm surprised they didn't know who he was. (He was also the consultant for "Dragnet".) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedracer5 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I have Dish. I have GSN and if What's My Line? And I've Got a Secret are no longer airing, that's unfortunate. I'm not sure if I get Buzzz. I really like the What's My Line with Lucy & Desi. Desi was reduced to basically saying "mmmhmmm" because his accent would give him away immediately. Lucy spoke with a Russian accent. Desi would answer any question that was female oriented and Lucy answered the male ones. They had the panel stumped for quite sometime, because they were thinking that they were only speaking to one person. Finally, I believe it was Arlene Francis that figured out it was both Lucy and Desi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I've got the VHS and the DVD - - Lucy spoke with a Swedish accent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
