That DEF would be AMAZING‼️ I LOVED staying home with my mom and watching funny, uncut, “real tv” and the greatest game shows EVER! This and $10,000 Pyramid were our faves👍

The 70's was an Amazing time. So fortunate to have lived during it.

I've been watching reruns of this for the last three or four years, at least, and it never gets old. It was one of a kind. It all starts with Gene, the perfect host, and Brett and Charles and Richard. And all the great 'semi-regulars' like Fanny, Patty Deutsch, Betty, Patty Duke, Joyce Bulifant, Joanne Worley, Elaine Joyce, Marcia Wallace, Nipsey Russell, Gary Burghoff, Dick Martin, Joann Pflug, Orson Bean... A show like that can never be duplicated. I remember watching Match Game 73 when I got home from school in junior high, and still think of it with the 73 in the name because of that. Best game show ever, with Jeopardy number two, but for completely different reasons. For entertainment value Match Game stands alone. And quite often the contestants were very entertaining - you got quite a variety of personalities.

To bad Gene wife was subjected to his infidelity. Oh what fun!! Read the story

I remember my Mom laughing so hard watching Match Game. When it premiered on CBS the 2nd time in 1973, I was 5 years old, just starting kindergarten and I learned a lot about something I absolutely love doing and enjoy with women. Innuendo! Learned all about it from watching. I asked my Mom, why does it always seem like these questions have answers that are right, but means something different? Mom said, boy....I don't know how you caught on? You are so smart! I'm going to tell you and "carefully" explain it to you.....after Match Game goes off. She told me all about innuendo, why it is, how to use it to present something to someone or group. Also how women like it and how it adds fun and deep thought to any loving relationship. The 70's....times "teenage" years. 😀

Back when comedians were funny TV shows had meaning and times were a lot simpler and ppl were happier.

Match Game was a show where anything, absolutely anything could happen. You tune in and Charles might FLY into the studio, Carol Burnett would invade the set, or a contestant might bend over in a two-short skirt. That random factor, the anticipation of "what could possibly happen this week?" was a big part of the magic.

What a awesome show!!!!!! Sure wish they had awesome shows like this on TV now. Wish we could go back to the 70's

The panelist and Gene explain that in another documentary that's here on you tube. Anyone just had to have watched the show to realize the line up, though.

Now, I can really enjoy the show. I even miss Gene. Him and his funny sarcasm. If one can't take a joke, they shouldn't be on the Match Game. Because Gene was sure to embarrass someone. But, that was Gene. Got to love him, as well as you, and all the others. Can't remember all the other stars names right now, but you all had some great stars on your show. The only other game show I've really ever watched faithfully was " the kissing bandit' Richard Dawson, on Family Fued. He, like you, and Betty White, and Charles, had BIG hearts.
