Antics

I love Match Game. Even during the syndicated run, there was some funny stuff. This episode contains lots of funny stuff, including Charles taking the PM sign.

That's what I loved about Match Game is its focus on Comedy slightly more than its focus on the game. Even after Richard Dawson left, the show still had some good stuff, until the 1981-1982 season, when it was just routine. Before hand though in the Post-Dawson era, there was still much stuff that's worth viewing. Yeah, they were drunk acting stupid, but that's a thing of the past. I just loved the craziness.

Of course before hand with Richard (even in his pissy days), it was a laugh riot. Like this moment. Very Match Game was for the laughs. Still it was always exciting to see someone win.
funny, and all they did was screw around. The show was more of a comedy show IMO, and if you were in it for the game, you were missing a lot. And even during the game, we got some funny stuff too. Yeah the dumb answers sucked, but you gotta good laugh out of them.

Overall, one of my favorites was McLean losing his shirt. That was funny. So many good moments on just about every episode.

Sadly the 1981-1982 syndicated season lacked the humor, which is why I found it kind of bland. Although McLean did put in some good moments too.
