    I'm Watching This Right Now... It Sucks!

    I have seen this show twice now (including right now and I admit I probably will not finish since I'm only 6 minutes in and already in a cold sweat wanting to reach out for the remote). This is one of the worst game shows or shows in general that I have ever seen in my entire T.V. watching life.

    The host is so boring and dull and seems like he (just like the viewer and the audience) doesn't really want to even be there. I certainly can't blame him for that.

    The contestants aren't just bored but boring and the puzzles they do are really stupid and deliberately set up so that people will hopefully give bathroom potty joke answers.

    The panel is made up of some of the least funny people I have ever seen on T.V. and their answers are so unfunny and just plain idiotic that I can't believe what I'm watching.

    Bad But Not That Bad!

    I am surprised by how overboard negative a lot of your reviews are fellow IMDb.com people.

    Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that Match Game is a good show, it is not a good show.

    But it is not a one out of ten or the worst game show ever or "garbage" or whatever else you are calling it. It is a growing concern to me that people always jump to one out of ten if they dislike something and calling it the worst movie ever, or calling something ten out of ten and he best movie ever if they like it at all. There are all those other numbers in the middle!

    I give Match Game a four and I think it is slightly less than the average shows it is up against.

    I say it is not very good for many of the same reasons you do. The contestants seem both bored and boring. The host is not very funny or personable but at the same time I sometimes find it refreshing that he is different from the other TV show hosts out there. The panelists and in particular Shawn Cullen and Debra D. are really awful and not very creative or funny at coming up with good fill in the blank answers.

    Let's remember there are more ratings than just one or ten okay? It makes things more fun and much more fair.

    This show would be better if you just let the contestants ask each other questions.

    Match Game sucks. I watch the original game show (it is currently airing on cable and is called Match Game 73) and it is very dated but it's still an amusing show. The premise for a game show is very good where you have professional comedians as a panel trying to "help" the contestants by giving answers to the same questions and if the answers match they get points. The original show has the comedians giving funny answers but never dirty, and usually they give a real answer and just say funny things about it. This new show just has comedians who give the worst answers trying to be funny and failing. So why should the contestants even bother playing when the comedians just keep giving stupid answers which are also usually filthy? Gave his dog a what? A penis. She keeps a what in her cupboard? A penis. I could give better answers than that and also funnier answers than that and I am an accountant, probably the least funny kind of person in the world. Please stop making horrible shows like this. Whoever at your network thinks that anything sexual is automatically funny needs to be fired. Have you guys ever made one single good show? Every person on the panel is not funny and the host is also not funny. Seriously is this the best we can do?

    You're Being A Little Hard?

    I think you are all being a little hard on this show don't you think? This show leaves a lot to be wanting for and I would not argue that it is one of the best shows out there but it is if anything only a little bit less than the average game show.

    I give it a 4/10 rating because it is really not that bad. You all act like it is the worst game show ever made but come on that is a huge over reach on your part.

    Why does it always go like that that there is a show and people don't like it and they go straight to calling it the worst show ever. There is a huge section in the middle you are forgetting about. That is why we can vote 1 to 10 and not just 1 or 10, yes or no, good or bad.

    I am not a fan but I do not hate this show it is just something that is on this channel some times so I just turn the channel if it is not very good and you can do the same. Let's put the hate on hold?

    Terrible Game Show

    This game show is terrible! The only good thing about it is that the production values look OK, almost like they actually spent some money on making it unlike most shows on Canadian TV, especially game shows. But this show is really annoyingly awful. First off the host is always stumbling over words and just seems bored or boring, like he doesn't want to be there, he is not good at talking to the contestants or getting them to answer questions as if they are actually caring about being there at all. The guests on the show are awful. It seems like Sean Cullen and Deb from Videos On Trial are the two that are there every week and they are the most annoying people on earth. She won't shut up and is always running into other people's frames it's as if she is constantly shrieking "look at me look at me look at me look at me!!!" and Sean Cullen also talks constantly but instead of desperately pushing himself for the camera his just sings nonsense and makes up really weird things and clearly thinks this makes him hilarious. Sometimes he comes up with something funny but almost all of the time he's just shooting useless random **** out of his mouth. The other guests are also always terrible, like really terrible. The only thing they have to do is come up with an answer to a question so if they can't come up with one funny answer they can just put a real answer which I'm sure the contestants would like so they can actually get a match sometimes. But no they always get some actor from some other crappy Canadian show or some comedian and they always do the exact same thing, come up with the first sex act or body part they can think of and give that answer and expect everyone to laugh like they are a comedy genius. This show is just desperate and stupid and sad, there are almost zero laughs to be had and none of these people are interesting, even the contestants come off as bored and the contestants are the worst part of all of this show. Maybe it's because the host doesn't know what he's doing but they never say anything and when they do talk they're just mumbling stupid things and wanting to just get the show over with so they can win their prize which is also **** usually like fifty bucks or something. What a pathetic show! I wish I could stop paying taxes so they couldn't afford to make this ****.
