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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

^ 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"

― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Wednesday, 31 August 2016 00:16 (seven years ago) link
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

Yeah the Strahan pyramid isn't all that great but it's okay. I'll watch it. For the record I think Michael Strahan's career arc has been something truly remarkable. I can't think of anyone like him - not just an NFL player but a well-known All-Star that was a central piece of a Super Bowl team - who wound up taking hosting duties. Like most of these guys just make terrible announcers but Strahan is kind of a natural at it.

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.
