I LOVE Match Game. They had no rules and were so casual. If the show were on today it would be scripted and be boring. Charles and Brett made the show but I also like Gene Rayburn. I also loved the orange and blue color scheme! These clips are so funny I almost "Blanked" myself!!

I always watched Match Game when I was a kid. I loved it and especially loved Charles and Brett. I've been watching it again lately on the Game Show channel. You're right. If it were made today, it would overly scripted and dull. Besides, the likes of Charles and Brett don't exsist anymore, which is a pity.

I loved this when I watched it on the game show network.

Consider this my offical appreciation of Brett Somers.

Charles Nelson Reilly - Not so much

They really should have had their own show. Either a sitcom or movie review or even a morning sit down and chat and gossip show. A raunchy New Yorker and a a screaming queen at each other's throats. I hear the two were very close in real life even towards the end.
