I love that show and you never know what antics Gene Rayburn would be up to

I adored "Match Game" from 1973-1978. I even loved the idea of the Star Wheel. Sadly, once Richard Dawson became distant and eventually left the show, it was never as good to me. And as much as I enjoyed it, and still do, GSN has run it non-stop it seems since Day 1, about the only program they have that they have shown since its inception. Too much of a good thing, especially when there are so many other classic game shows and tapes they have that I'd prefer to see.

I wish GSN would show Tic Tac Dough, High Rollers, Tattletales, and Hollywood Squares

I agree. I still remember racing home from school to watch it.

I don't like Match Game.

I LOVE Match Game!!!

A few years ago I wrote to all the surviving members of the panel(the main regulars) - Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly, and Richard Dawson.
I also sent along my own homemade version of those cards they wrote their answers on, and asked them to write their favorite answer on it.

Brett wrote me a lovely letter back, an autographed picture, and the word "B**bs" on the card as her favorite answer(without the asterisks of course).

A very nice, funny, lady.

Richard sent me an autographed picture of himself, but no card back.(which I can kind of understand, since he didn't exactly leave Match Game on the best of terms).

Charles is the only one who didn't send me anything back. Oh well.

Considering that MG is the highest rated oldies game show on GSN, there are many people who enjoy it, including myself. Once Dawson left though, it lost something, but was still fun to watch.

I thought the 70s version of Match Game was a very funny, yet risque game show. It was the biggest hit of Gene Rayburn's long career.

She's been in Kindergarten so long, she's the only girl in class with BLANK!

YouTube has lot's of clips from match Game

1973-1982 and 1990-1991 versions: yes
And also I suggest Pluto TV and Fremantle can create a Rayburn Match Game Channel.
