The TALK Is Right / Re: Bidding question
« Last post by GobGlom on August 13, 2018, 09:20:31 AM »So it looks like they just went from one long speaker for each contestant to two smaller ones in order to accommodate the adjustable mic stand housing?
Not quite. There are 5 speakers for four players in the first image. I see that it was simply a modification made during the redress of the old analog displays. I would guess that those large speakers were intrusive and making contestants stand a bit further back but still accomplished their goal of hearing bids, the host, and announcer.

« Last post by pannoni1 on August 13, 2018, 07:14:40 AM »I just discovered Buzzr was finally available to stream for free about a week ago, so I've finally gotten my first exposure to its regular programming.
Can anyone help me better understand generally how many episodes of a particular show they have in their library? Meaning, like for Family Feud Dawson, Family Feud Combs, all the Black and White shows, Password Color, etc...typically how long before the cycle of shows starts to repeat again?
I know they have around 100 Supermarket Sweep episodes (almost every 1991 episode) of which they're now in their second cycle. Dawson Feud is cycling between 1980 and 1985 episodes, usually about 50 episodes with each lease. I know they have around the first six months of Super Password as well. That said, as time progresses, some shows get new leases added on. For example, Sale of the Century originally had around the first ten weeks or so, but it now includes the next ten, up until the end of the shopping era in November 1985, with a few skipped episodes.
That said, some shows had surprisingly short leases. When '70s Double Dare aired in 2016, their lease was only around 20 episodes, although this was due to airing just two episodes a week, but that's still quite a short lapse, given that the series lasted around 90 episodes total.
