I saw an ad for this last night. The Game Show Network is doing another documentary, this time on the history of Match Game. Given how much I liked their investigation of the Press Your Luck scandal, this should be interesting.

On Sunday, November 26 (8:00 - 9:00 PM, ET), GSN will pay homage to one of the game show greats with an original special THE REAL MATCH GAME STORY: BEHIND THE BLANK, narrated by Jamie Farr. A marathon of "Match Game" classic episodes will air Saturday, November 25 (8:00 - 11:00 PM, ET).
Interviewees include panelists Richard Dawson, Brett Somers, Marcia Wallace, Betty White and Jimmy Walker; numerous staff members from the classic series and one of the last interviews given by the series' legendary host, Gene Rayburn. |
I wish I had GSN. The PRESS YOUR LUCK docu was neat, and this could be very entertaining. It depends upon how candid the interviewees are re: the backstage carousing and Richard Dawson's ego.
And in an odd bit of timing, I just found out that a 4-disc "Best of MATCH GAME" hit DVD shelves today.
