Those triangles and circles were so enticing when I was 5 years old.

p sure that's Vegas comic Jack Carter up there

and holy crow, he's still alive and working.

He can currently be seen in the Showtime series Shameless as Stan, the old racist bar owner.

Who's the white guy with the 'fro? Peter Bonerz?

A contestant.

LOL the shade CNR shot Brett every time she made a none-too-veiled reference to his sexuality

I would watch this on GSN but 7:30 a.m. seems a little early to fire up the tv. I get a twinge of guilt just turning it on at 2:00 for Jeopardy.

Ha, was also wondering about dude with the hair, my best guess was Marty Allen.

That plaid is first-degree Rayburn

I saw him once walking around one of the ponds in Central Park, the one near the Summerstage, near where Al Bundy/Ed O'Neill gave a briefing to Steve Martin in The Spanish Prisoner. He was dressed pretty much the same and had a smile frozen on his face. Only the wand mic was missing. I didn't say anything to him but now I would have.

Should've offered to buy him a drink probably.

If only I had thought of that.

It wasn't Steve Martin, it was the other guy, George C. Scott's son, Campbell Scott.

Life of Reilly is on Netflix for one more week. CNR was Paul Lynde's understudy in Bye Bye Birdie!

Is that some euphemism they used at the time?

^foul

I'm sure there ultimately was resentment for taking jobs away from the other on TV? (on Lynde's part, at least; he could be a bitter guy)

Life of Reilly is on Netflix for one more week.

I had forgot to watch this up until now, thanks for the reminder.

Life of Reilly is maybe my favorite standup concert movie, though eventually it becomes something else. Fantastic performance.

Wait for CNR near the end

Alec Baldwin to host 10 episode revival this summer

I think it's theoretically possible to make a good Match Game in our day - there are certainly enough wacky & cerebral celebs out there to staff the panel - but I predict they will tinker with the format of the '70s show (for the sake of the ADD generation) just enough to make it stupid and unwatchable. Plus the set won't look as good.

watch, someone like Bruce Vilanch will "be" Chas N Reilly (as if)

Yeah there is no modern CNR really

well Justin Vivian Bond mebbe

Innuendo and double-entendres that were hysterical in 1975 won't budge the needle today. It'll be interesting to see how they update the nudge-nudge wink-wink stuff.

If the set is all video screens instead of carpet I'll be mad.

Betty White could still participate!

Joyce Bulifant, Fannie Flagg, and Patti Deutsch are all still available as well, so we have the bottom right seat tied down

Match Game of Thrones

2016 edition premiered back in June! Giving it a shot.

there's carpet

it's okay, I'm giggling.

Tituss Burgess and Rosie O'Donnell in the 1 and 2 slots

OH MY GOD I'M IN

Couldn't find anyplace in this thread where anyone addressed the magic moment when the year changed and so did the title of the show.

^ That happened six times, '74 to '79.

The Buzzr channel has gone back to the beginning and is showing Match Game episodes from the summer of '73.

At this point the questions are still of the low-information type, like, "Mary could never stop after just one ____." I'm sure that if they'd continued with this format the show would've become too boring and never would've taken off. It's also interesting that one month into the show the contestants have still not figured out that Dickie Dawson is the best choice for the head-to-head match. I've not seen him called upon once, while Jo Ann Pflug has won the head-to-head on at least two occasions.

Gene Rayburn still doesn't have his long mic yet, it's either a normal-sized one or a clip-on. Also, he often wears bow ties.

Lots of awkwardness all around as they work out the kinks in every facet of the production. Gene isn't sure where to move, the camera crew isn't sure where to point, etc. And the questions are written so as to aggressively suggest an indecent answer, which almost everyone stubbornly resists giving. I believe Bert Convy was the first panelist of all to say "boobs," and Barbara Stewart (Dick Gautier's wife) was the first to give what would come to be considered a taboo response, with the word "urinating"

where can we stream Match Game '16?

AAAHHH IT'S ON HULU NVM AHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA

so much better than 10,000$ pyramid with Strahan

Seem to remember Shatner being good on the orig $10,000 Pyramid.

HOW GOOD WAS HE

are there any youtube/etc. channels with full pyramid episodes? i've been trying for years to find an episode a family member of mine was on with michael j. fox to no avail.

Buzzr is about to show the 1978 episode where the Super-Match question is "Oral ___ ," and the contestant asks, "Can I say what I'm thinking?" prompting much hemming and hawing from Gene. It's either the episode on right now or one coming up in this 4-6pm block.

It was the 4pm (EST) episode

I want Louisa Moritz in one of these fake people’s seat

I was going for more of a Scoey Mitchell homage. He's still alive! 91

So it seems that Scoey Mitchell was a bit actor, but his main claim to fame is being on Match Game? Could that be true?

I remember asking my mom who he was and she knew of him from things other than Match Game but yeah I guess he's like Charles and Brett and well basically all the regulars: C level celebrities prior and now best known for being on Match Game.

My mom is just a trove of "who's that? What were they in?" knowledge. She got hooked for awhile on watching Tattletales on GSN too, interesting to see how some couples interact on that show given her knowledge of how their marriage turned out

I believe Scoey Mitchell was more of a Broadway actor who did a little TV and film on top of a ton of game shows.

interesting to see how some couples interact on that show given her knowledge of how their marriage turned out

There's a wild week of Tattletales featuring Bob Crane and his widow who supposedly had him off'd.

That’s why Tattletales is the darkest show that’s ever been on US TV. Imagine doing that show nowadays,

Wow at this latest.

Just found an image of Scoey Mitchell as a boxer with Marlo Thomas and Ted Bessell looking on which, of course, was from an episode of That Girl.

Also came to note that it doesn't seem Conny Van Dyke has been mentioned yet.

RIP Scoey Mitchell (92)

RIP. May his memory be a BLANK.

Lol, didn’t know he was Jewish.

Real name was Scoey Mitchlll, which is not a typo believe it or not.
