BUZZR Celebrates Bob Barker's 100th Birthday; Ted Prequel Series on Peacock Gets Premiere Date
On August 26, 2023, the world lost one of the greatest game show hosts and animal activists of all time--the beloved Bob Barker. December 12, 2023, would have been Bob's 100th birthday and Fremantle will be celebrating with festivities across their FAST channels, The Price is Right: The Barker Era channel, The Price is Right channel (exclusively on Pluto TV, with host Drew Carey), and BUZZR, to commemorate the world's greatest emcee who brought so much joy into our living rooms every weekday for 35 years.
The Price is Right: The Bob Barker Era channel will unveil 60 rare episodes from 1972 that have not been seen in 40 years. Each night, fresh episodes will air starting at 8:00 p.m. ET from November 27 to January 7. The Price is Right channel (exclusively on Pluto TV, with host Drew Carey) will present The Price Is Right: A Tribute to Bob Barker, starting at 5:00 p.m. ET on December 12. BUZZR will air multiple game shows featuring Bob, including titles like Match Game, Family Feud, and Tattletales, along with The Price Is Right: A Tribute to Bob Barker, starting on December 4, with a marathon on his birthday, December 12.
The prequel to the hit film franchise Ted now has a premiere date! All seven episodes of the event series to premiere exclusively on Peacock on January 11. There will be a super-sized premiere, then 6 half-hour episodes. In this comedic prequel event series to the Ted films, it's 1993, and Ted the bear's (Seth MacFarlane) moment of fame has passed. He's now living back home in Framingham, Massachusetts with his best friend, 16-year-old John Bennett (Max Burkholder), along with John's parents, Matty and Susan (Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach) and cousin Blaire (Giorgia Whigham). Ted may be a lousy influence on John, but at the end of the day, he's a loyal pal who's always willing to go out on a limb for friendship.
