   Match Game was so great. I adored Charles Nelson Riley as a kid. Card Sharks, Tic Tac Dough, Press Your Luck, Sale of the Century… this is how I spent my childhood.

   I looooved Match Game as a kid. But in my head I remember it as “Match Game PM”. Am I remembering that correctly? Anyway, I was way too young to get all the risque humor, but I loved the show anyway.

   I also dug Super Password.

   Yes, #3, there was also a prime-time version of Match Game for awhile, as I remember, and I think it may have been in addition to the daytime version (?). I was a kid then also, and I didn’t understand all the humor, either.

   I spent hours during the summers in the ’70s and ’80s watching game shows, so I love the reruns on GSN. Another show I liked was the original Richard Dawson-Family Feud. The families would give him like these homemade gifts, and he’d be all excited.

   Richard Dawson must of had a raging case of Herpes with all that kissing he did on Family Feud. He’d kiss anything.

   Match Game was awesome. In fact, I saw Brett Sommers cabaret act in NYC a few years ago. Boy, is she old. She said most of the time, a lot of the panelists were drunk.

   That clip embodied all of Match Game’s trademark snickering smuttiness and wink-wink/nudge-nudging. Gene Rayburn was an effing riot.

   And…Elaine Joyce = Major Hottie.

   I don’t get GSN but did anyone watch the game show marathon hosted by one Ms. Rikki Lake last week? I only saw the night they did Let’s Make a Deal and Lance Bass in his big banana costume (let the jokes begin) won the coveted seat into the next night’s final.

   I loved Match Game and Tattle Tales- they remind me of coming home after grade school.
   But I love the theme song even more-

    I have to say, Match Game is the one old rerun on GSN I’ve never really gotten into… But I love everything else (Blockbusters, Richard Dawson Family Feud, Super Password). And Card Sharks is probably my favorite, but the ’80s version with Bill Rafferty. Being too young to have ever seen these before syndication, that makes one more reason why I love GSN.

    I heard about that, #7. Poor Lance Bass. I bet he wishes he could go back to the good ol’ days of On the Line, the cinema classic!
