Ode to Match Game (Or even Match Game 76)

I love watching Match Game, that isn't so lame. Though some of your panelists were not very tame. There was Richard Dawson, always in the mood. That is until he joined the Family Feud.

And there was Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly. They both could say just one thing, to make you go smiley (bear with me, I don't have a lot to work with here).

Dumb Dora got her blank stuck in a jar. You always had to be careful to not take it too far. On a card your answer you would quickly scribble. The only word I can think to rhyme with that is dribble.

The contestants would hesitate to say something dirty. Though Gene Rayburn would try by getting so flirty. With his long thin mic he'd laugh and he'd ask. After all, that was this man's task.

The panel was always so hip and so bold. Which is remarkable because they also were old. I can imagine they'd party with shag carpets and wine. They were so cool, almost before their time. They had great sayings and lots of word tricks. Especially on Match Game 76.

But alas, Gene Rayburn I'm not, that much is true. But I'll fill in the blank, if you'd give me a clue. Then maybe for once our answers would jive, even though your panelists are no longer alive...

Seriously, I think you and my husband are long lost brothers. Days off typically have the Game Show Network in the background with the dulcet tones of Charles Nelson Reilly heckling Brett Somers. Hand to heaven, my husband's Facebook avatar was CNR until last week.

We're your kindreds. Now where does one find that antenna-like hand-held mike? ;)

Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly were MY FAVORITE! And this is only the best Game Show EVER.

I read somewhere that watching Match Game was like watching drunk people playing a parlour game. It was seriously that entertaining and zany. I love watching the old episodes on GSN.
