FIRST LOOK: Comedy Network's "Match Game" Logo

If you remember back in June, Comedy Network in Canada announced they are producing a revival of the classic 70s game show Match Game for the network. The Network will tape sixty 30-minute English-language episodes this summer for the set of the Montreal version called Atomes Crochus went with a more modern logo, The Comedy Network version went back to it's roots of the 1970 American version with a classic Match Game inspired logo. It's essentially the same old one updated for 2012. I'm sure that should please many of you traditionalists that roam around here.

Check the logo out here:http://www.thecomedynetwork.ca/getmedia/9a963db4-fc52-4d1a-af0f-802bbe62235b/matchgame_logo_v2

Anyone looking forward to this?

Match Game will also be on Comedy Gold as well as the Comedy Network and they'll be launching it in a big way with a full Labour Day marathon running from 6:00 AM Monday until 6:00 AM Tuesday. Unless some of the episodes are repeated, you will see at least a half season's worth of episodes in over 1 full day. That's way too much in my book.

of Course the two "Dick's" right, which is Dick York who played the original "Darrin" Stephens from (1964-1969) then one year leater he was replaced by Dick Sargeant from (1969-1972).

but I don't know how many famous game show host who are named "Darrin" out there.

also you already know that Paul Lynde (Hollywood Squares) played as Uncle Arthur on the series right?

I'll take Gene Rayburn's version any day over anything released since.
