Members allmc2008 Posted August 19, 2012 Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 I wish they would make either a Match Game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K9OKF8HX5Q or Gong Show (Weird Clip, Trust me) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ozU4KcvIZ0 Revival. I wonder who could star in them?? Betty White should definitely be in a Match Game revival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 19, 2012 Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 They've tried with Match Game and I think the problem is that we've passed the age of naughty double entendre on TV. Think Three's Company as well. I love Match Game though, and I think what might work is a late-night Match Game PM with a couple of Comedy Central-type comedians on the panel. Maybe they could go all "The Aristocrats" with some of their responses, I don't know. I'd hate to see the franchise totally disrespected with a bunch of raunch, but that's one idea. Gong Show is great too though with Idol and America's Got Talent et cetera, I wonder. A half-hour syndicated Gong Show with all the "scraps" of folks who couldn't get on the big shows might be hilarious though. IMO, you can't lose with Win, Lose or Draw.

Members allmc2008 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 The old Match Game was not ALL dirty. Some episodes had nothing but dirty questions some episodes did not have any. If they revived it I would like them to use the old formula where it was suggested and not apparently dirty. I manly like how everyone on old match game seemed so relaxed and natural yet so funny and obnoxious. The only person I did not like was Richard Dawson. Nobody really liked be Behind the Scenes and I think that is why they gave him Family Feud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted August 19, 2012 Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 uh Richard was very popular on Match Game, if he wasn't, he wouldn't have been asked back. Just no to redoing Match Game cause they'd eff it up royally, they always do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted August 19, 2012 Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 The 1990 version was okay. I've never seen the hybrid version with Hollywood Squares from 83/84, but I'd like to if I can. It's the 1998 version that I heard sucked. Oddly enough, the 70s version itself was a revival. THIS is the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AISyVGLZjGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 You can't do Match Game today because the stars of today are too self conscious to be so corny. Who is the modern equivalent of Charles Nelson Reilly? There just isn't any, same for Brett Somers, and the whole cast being so self-satisfied with their corny lame jokes. You just need that. And the game show hosts of today are sort of lame too and have no personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 Everyone knows Richard Dawson was often hard to work with behind the scenes on Match Game. It's highly evident in many episodes that he's annoyed by things. But anyway, now that Pyramid is coming back, this is my #1 requested game show revival: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MrQuartermaine Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 As much as I love Match Game, the celebrities today aren't like they used to be. Aside from Betty White, Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly, & Richard Dawson. It would naturally be different, but nothing closely resembling the original.

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 It would have been fun to have seen another version of the game show Child's Play. I LOVED watching it as a kid on GSN (and years later when they showed it again), and I used to love to watch all those kids from across the country trying to define words for the adults. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikD00R0HaZo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 You think audiences would get bored if they did a What's My Line revival? I liked that one. So simple, yet it can be alot of fun. The thing I liked about What's My Line is that the panelist members took it so seriously. It wasn't a bunch of slapstick drunkeness like Match Game (fun, though as it was. and that is certainly a funny gameshow even to this day). My favorite was that quirky-faced but oh-so-brilliant Dorothy Kilgallen. Reading about her mysterious death definitely makes ya wonder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 I certainly wouldn't. That is a fun show to watch. As far as other game show revivals that haven't worked out so well, every version of To Tell The Truth after the 1969-1978 version (in 1980, 1990, and 2000) have flopped.
