Should we have a Canuck version with Headline Hunters, Bumper Stumpers and/or Definition?

Bumper Stumpers was an almost impossibly hard game show. Talkabout, with Wayne Cox, was a bit easier, but you Canucks are hell on game-show contestants.

Our prizes suck too, although they are tax free!

Are the rest of you going to have an "old moment" if I say I have no idea what Match Game was?

In that case, you can be on Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? and not as a contestant.

Well, that's just plain not nice.

That was rather cruel, 2MCM.....



undoubtedly true, but cruel nonetheless.

I figure anybody who can't remember Match Game has to be right in that ballpark, agewise.

You can be on Double Dare with Simon, Chuck~Taylor and Huska

Huska is way past that.

Well, whoever the other college kid is we have. I ran out of names.

I'm still in college?

Here's a primer, Clever.

I thought Rayburn died more recently than 1999.

Geez, Wicked. That isn't a primer. It's a Russian novel... with almost as many characters.

My gosh, I had no idea there were that many iterations of Match Game. I did know, however, that Richard Dawson was an unmitigated prick from the numerous stories I've heard throughout the years -- including from a family I knew who went on "Family Feud" and said he was rude and arrogant off-camera.

But I never heard that story about how he mailed it in toward the end, although the story about the producers trying to dissuade people from picking him because he kept nailing the final game was pretty cool.

I'm just fired up I got in either one, though I wouldn't know what I was doing on Match Game and don't care enough to read about it.

Thanks, koke.
