Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

A lot of fun.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It is hard to imagine, or remember Gene Rayburn doing anything besides hosting Match Game. This series in 1973 was the best one. It has the classic announcer Johnny Olsen who helped add to every game show that he did.Rayburn was a great host. He even subbed for Steve Allen on the Tonight Show in the 1950's. I am sure this back ground helped as Rayburn is on top of his game here.Between the great celebrities, the amazing questions, and the contestants this show hits home runs so often, that it is hard to imagine them having an off day. This is the only time in TV history where a question like - When old man Periwinkle reads his favorite story, his favorite character is (blank)? and the entertainment flies onto your television screen and the punch lines are flung out in a hurry by everybody.

One night, I was flipping the channels when I had come upon this beauty on a little known station known as "The Game Show Network" - reruns of this show: "Match Game 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, and beyond!!!!!" LOL The host is Gene Rayburn, who liked to wear his suits, plaid or plain!!!!! Some of the most well known celebrities to play along are Brett Somers, and my favorite: Richard Dawson, who would later on host the other CBS game show "Family Feud!!!!!"Anyways, there are two contestants, preferably from Southern California, who make a selection of one of two cards in two rounds. The questions are often funny; since this was 70s TV, this pushed the envelope at the time. When we always get to those "blanks," it's funny!!!!! I also like how female contestants kiss Richard if the $500 Supermatch question is correct. This is also a wonderful game to play at home or at a party; it's fun AND good for your brain!!!!! (I try to watch this every weekday night, BTW.)I was also surprised at how this came to be the best game show of all time by GSN, thanks to the "50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time." I just happened to find this show; I ended up liking it ala "Wheel of Fortune," and I wouldn't think I have just found the best game show ever!!!!! Yes, people, I have seen the light...from my television screen."Match Game" is the best show ever!!!!! Watch it nightly; certainly no "Disney Channel Originals" garbage here!!!!!10/10

To coin an old cliche, "The just don't make 'em like this anymore." Match Game is and will always be one of my favorite game shows of all time! There's simply nothing like it. Filling in the blanks and trying to match a celebrity panel may seem silly and trite, but that simple premise provided for one of the most entertaining shows in game show history. Led by the dapper Gene Rayburn, the panel consisted of three regulars (until the later episodes, anyway): splashy and fun Brett Somers, funny theatre veteran Charles Nelson Reilly, and Family Feud's dashing and suave Richard Dawson. Then you had the semi-regulars: hilarious comedienne and book author Fannie Flagg, cute and perky actress Joyce Bulifant, or the lovely and enchanting Betty White. Occasionally, you'd also see the likes of M*A*S*H's Gary Berghoff, Patty Duke, Marcia Wallace, and many other familiar faces. This show made these people household names, and I simply love the fact that, through re-runs, Game Show network has given the chance for younger folks (such as myself) to experience this hoot of a show. (Though I must admit, it just wasn't the same when they introduced the wheel and Richard left.) It just doesn't get any better than Match Game -- be it one of the daytime series or Match Game PM. Go ahead, laugh your nk] off.

GET READY TO MATCH THE STARS......................."Match Game" was without a doubt a grand staple of the game shows that were produced in the 1970's. When the show made its premiere on CBS-TV in the summer of 1973,the show quickly became a surprised hit and it was very successful against another celebrity oriented game show as well,"The Hollywood Squares",which was on a rival network. But the show will always be one of the classic game shows from that decade. The late announcer Johnny Olson and the perfect show host,the late Gene Rayburn were simply marvelous. Each episode will have contestants attempting to match six-well knowns to fill in the "blank" that was based on a mildly provocative question often with hilarious results from the panel of celebrity guests.The show made household names out of Brett Somers,Betty White,Charles Nelson-Reilly,Bill Daily,Fanny Flagg,Richard Dawson,and Bob Barker. The show also had contestants on the show as well who will make names for themselves as well including earlier segments which featured future talk-show host Jenny Jones and future actresses Marliu Henner,Joyce DeWitt, and Kristie Alley. The show also had some walk-ons to add a bit of spice to the show and help the contestants along as well including cast members from various CBS shows at the time appeared on Match Game when the show aired including the cast of "The Carol Burnett Show", "All In The Family" "MASH",and one that included the cast of "The Waltons",and "Good Times".Recently,The Game Show Network did a day-long marathon of this series and it brought back some grand memories. It amazes me to this day,that they don't make great game shows that this anymore since the only daytime game show still on network television today is "The Price Is Right",which has been on CBS for over 30 years and still going strong with Bob Barker!!! Gone are the those great game shows of the past which included "Gambit", "The Jokers Wild","Press Your Luck","Tattletales","Tic,Tac Dough". But still Match Game will always be a grand staple of which game shows were based from the golden age of the 1970's. Kudos to Gene Rayburn and Johnny Olson.
