I did not think this would be possible, but like finally getting the rights to air
Classic Concentration last fall, Buzzr finally got the rights to air
The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour from 1983-84, according to
Vulture. This will be the first time these episodes have been rerun anywhere since their original broadcasts over 35 years ago.
So far, episodes 2 through 5 will air on February 17th, and Buzzr is working to get the show on its lineup later this year. Practically every episode's master tape needs to be cleaned up and digitized, which is a time-consuming process as described in the article.
Overall, I'm excited for this! The show itself had its problems, but I enjoyed what I've seen on YouTube over the years. Also, we'll be able to hear that great theme song again, years after
The Price is Right stopped using it.
