User Reviews

good, but definately not the original

This newer versio of Match Game was OK, but it definately lacked the sparks of the original Match Game. Mike Burger tried hard, but couldn't touch Gene Rayburn. I agree that the panel was weak most of the time. They should have changed the questions around too.
