The Match Game shows of the 1970-82 period were great viewing. You had real pros such as Richard Dawson, Betty White, Fannie Flagg ,Patty Duetch, Marcia Wallace and Charles Nelson Reilly that were great at ad lib, quick witted jokes and come backs. I don't understand how so many reviews can applaud Brett Somers. She never shut up! All thru the show she kept talking! And nothing really funny. A 'has been' who never was. Even Ethel Merman was annoyed and let it be known. Gene Rayburn was fine although he seemed a little full of himself, as if he were more educated than anyone around. The show also had its share of beautiful eye candy w/Elaine Joyce, Anitra Ford, Barbara Rhoades, Judy Landers and Match Game put a spotlight on many celebrities who proved they are dull, boring and not talented without a script !
