Match Game

One of the worst piles of manure on TV. Typical of today's remakes and hosted by a horrible, unfunny, classless loser. A panel of no-names making unfunny, rude, vulgar, political and just low-brow jokes. This follows basically all other TV game show remakes of the modern era. A truly sad commentary on society, comedy and the culture today. Poor Gene Rayburn and his wonderful cast of comedians must be spinning in their graves.

Despite all of the less intelligent people who posted one star reviews this show was entertaining when Alec Baldwin was hosting. Martin is great at what he does, but he just cannot hold a candle.

It has completely lost its cadence. Even with Alec's bad luck in the last few years how is that not going to help his self deprecating ways on the show?

I was excited to see my favorite childhood game show making a return. I have great memories watching with my Grandma, Rayburn, Brett, Dawson, Charles Nelson, and others. Too many questions now have sexual references. The show can be funny and entertaining without this. If ABC is trying to appeal to us "boomers", they should try to make the show similar to what made it good in the 60s and 70s.

With Match Game having 4 different versions in the last 4 decades, ABC brings back the star-studded, big money and hilarious game show in a whole new era!

The show first began with Alec Baldwin, showcasing his sarcastic and witty humor and great rapport with the celebrity panelists. Then, after the show went on a hiatus for a few years, it returned to the airwaves with a new host that has a hosting style that's similar to the late Gene Rayburn's, but adding his own sense of humor too. That man was the hilarious Martin Short, who is pretty decent as well, although the panelist selection still needs work, it still is a fun watch.

So, enjoy the all-new star-studded Match Game on ABC!

This show was perfect when Alec hosted. It was funny and everyone looked like they had good times.

I had high hope when it returns with Martin Short as host. Even though Martin managed quite well, many things just don't work. Martin forgot the rules several times. The stand holding the questions didn't work properly. Some guests are not funny (especially Selena Gomez, even though she's very lovely.)

And the questions! The writers should have come up with better questions. Most of the time, the question did not give hints to what answers should be in general, leading to almost non-matching answers. The questions in Alec Baldwin's shows were funny because they often had double-entendre and witty answers. I had great fun watching it but these new shows in 2025 paled in comparison.
