Match Game (1973–1990)
10/10
Such a classic. And a darn good time.

I have found myself watching several seasons worth of the show on Amazon Prime. There are also so many episodes to be found on Youtube. They are having such a great time, it makes you want to be a part of it. And it definitely makes you yearn for the golden days of classic TV and game shows. I always loved the banter between Charles and Brett. Hilarious. The one liners from Richard were great too. I always liked Fannie Flagg. She was brilliant. Just a lot of fun. A friend told me to look at the new version....can't deal with the obscenity for the sake of laughs. There is nothing left to the imagination. And that alone makes it not funny at all. It was the innuendo of the 70s that kept it really funny. You could be funny without being obscene. The only one who I didn't always care for was Patty Deutsch. Many times she didn't even seem to try and match with the contestant but went for the laugh. If I'm a contestant that would kind of bug me. All the rest though were just fantastic. Such a fun time.
