Bzzz! is an American relationship game show that first aired in limited syndication, produced by Ralph Edwards-Stu Billett Productions in cooperation with Tribune Entertainment, which handled distribution.

The series premiered on January 22, 1996, for a limited trial run, primarily on Tribune's own group of stations; it later expanded to full national syndication for one season, airing from September 9, 1996, to September 5, 1997, with reruns continuing on some stations until 2001. The show was hosted by Annie Wood, who also served as co-producer.

Reruns of the series were first aired on Superstation WGN from 2000 to 2001 (including the original "trial run" season), while Buzzr aired the series Saturday nights from February 15, 2020, to July 25, 2020.

Premise

The show itself was a fast-paced variant of The Dating Game in which a bachelor and bachelorette competed against each other to win a date with a member of the opposite sex, as well as money.
