A radio show notes TV game shows

A radio show on WGN talks about anything and everything, including the recent glut of game show reboots.

The game show stuff starts at about 24:15 on the tape. One of the guys loses me right away when he deep kisses the ABC rewind of The Gong Show. I trashed this revival a while back, and I haven't changed my opinion. But everybody's got their free speech rights on the Fourth of July.

The chatterers ramble onto other shows like 100K Pyramid, which they think is too easy. At least it's a real game show, guys, unlike the Gong crud. (In fact, I think ABC's Pyramid reboot is just fine.) They also dump on the new Match Game for the standard Miss Manners reasons. Eek, it's so bawdy. Oh, get over the prudishness. Then they review The Wall, except the rules seem to leave them befuddled.

The show does run a Richard Dawson meltdown on the original Match Game when Gene Rayburn just wanted him to shut up. A cute reminder of Richard's later difficult days on the show.
