Sinopsis

An icon of an era,áMatch Gameáhad everything: Stars! Prizes! Orange shag carpeting!ááááá The premise was simple: as the host read off a racy fill-in-the-blank statement, twoácontestants competed to match answers with a panel of six celebrities. But the score wasásecondary to the banter between the panelists and host. The modern-day equivalent toálunch at the Algonquin Round Table,áMatch Gameáhas run on American television in sixáseparate incarnations (thus far) beginning on NBC in 1962 and was successfully remadeáabroad (in Australia and the U.K. the format proved as popular as in the U.S.).ááááá But it wasáthe second U.S. version that proved most popular with American audiences. In this best-known version ofáMatch Gameá(which ran nine years beginning in 1973)áhost Gene Rayburn played ringmaster to a circus full of celebrity panelists who tried toámatch contestants', answers to naughty questions written by a team of comedy writers.áWhile other game shows focused on intellectual stimulation and physical challenges,áwatchingáMatch Gameáin the seventies was like being invited to the hottest cocktail party inátown. The set was shag-adelic, the humor was cutting-edge, and the celebrity guest panel smoked, bickered and bantered likeáthey were at a party in a friend',s living room, rather than in a TV studio.ááááá But it wasn',t called theá',Match', Gameáfor nothing, so theápanel had to judge contestants', likeliest answers for themselves&mdash,knowing when toáanswer with wit, and when to answer like a nitwit.ááááá Hugely popular in the U.S., itáproved just as durable abroad, spawning hit spin-offs in both the U.K. and Australia. When reruns ofáMatch Gameá began airing daily on GSN (the Game Show Network) they inspired a growing cult among couch potatoes of all ages.á
