I'll give you three choices, which is the best game show set for "Match Game".

The black and white 1962-1969 set, hands down!!! The theme was the bomb as well.

Sounding like Gene Rayburn is much better than sounding like Charles Nelson Reilly.

Somehow I wouldnt doubt it!!!!!! (I hadnt ever seen the original black and white show but I imagine it was quite good)

Match Game 70s was the first version I saw (76 I think) and thats my favourite

I prefer the '60s set myself, particularly the square-shaped readout underneath the celebrity captain that flashed the team's score and the hexagons that revealed the Audience Match answers.

1973-78 was my favorite. I'm old enough to remember when these episodes were first run on CBS.

I associate the blue set with the depature of Richard Dawson and the sub-par "Match Game" syndicated version instead of the CBS version which was superior to me.

The 1973-1978 set & The 1978-1982 set

No contest. I loved the way the big MATCH sign would appear on the celebrity's desk space. Much better than that crappy light & bell in the 70's.
